Popcorn/acoustic texture on ceilings
I really don't want to scrape all the popcorn texture off the ceilings in my whole house. Is popcorn texture horrible? Right now we are re-doing one of our bathrooms and we have to make the decision to re-spray the popcorn texture or change the ceilings in the whole house to knock down(heavy orange peel texture) or no texture, which is way too much work to make look perfect IMO.
What would you do, keep in mind you'd be doing all the work yourself. Keep the popcorn in the whole house or re-do all the ceilings. 2600 sq ft house. I'm a pro at spraying popcorn texture.
Update: ('cause it's sooo important)
We decided we are doing knock down in the upstairs (as we do each room) and we may keep the lower level with the popcorn texture...the living room will have a plank ceiling, like this:
Re: Popcorn/acoustic texture on ceilings (update)
When you say knock down do you mean drop down? I think they look weird anywhere but a basement. I don't really even like them in basements but around here if your basement was finished more than 5 years ago or you don't live in a high end house most likely that's what it is.
Why does it have to match the rest of the house? It's a bathroom. The floor probably doesn't match the rest of the house, what's the difference?
It would drive me crazy!
I still am debating doing it all in stages. In about 3-4 years we are doing the big kitchen/dining remodel. Walls are coming down.
This fall we start the laundry room remodel and next spring we are expanding the entry.
A majority of the house will have work done in the coming years, if I'm not dead before then.
Textured ceilings don't bother me. I'd leave it.

How does 2023 look? That's when I expect to be done here.
