Guest Room
No More Popcorn Ceiling
The popcorn has given way to a smooth, flat ceiling, thanks to Brandon’s hard work. As I mentioned before, the ceiling did not contain asbestos (always check before removing because many popcorn ceilings do), so we felt comfortable trying to remove it. It came down easily enough in just a few hours (he [...]
Popcorn Ceiling
Finally, after living here for almost two years, the popcorn ceiling in the guest room (soon to be nursery) will be coming down.
I’ve been careful to photograph the room and conveniently leave the ceiling out of the picture. See? Looks nice, right?

The Guest Room!
Painted, furnished, finished! For now, at least. There are still a few things I’d like to do, but they can definitely wait.

Here’s the [...]
