Are we talking "popcorn" ceilings? Or those "swirled" ceilings?vraiblonde said:We have textured ceilings. Like flat paint, it the sign of a lazy, untalented builder who is trying to hide flaws. Since it would bug me more to see the flaws, I'll stick with the textured ceilings.

flomaster said:No kidding. You would think my mom would say darn we need to take care of that. She thought it was cool. Maybe the prior renter was my Mom's love buddy! Who knows but darn those spikes left marks!!!!
elaine said:I can't believe the people who have trouble with these ceilings. I use the broom to get the dust off, and I used a regular roller to paint them.

We have popcorn ceilings. I remember having to help my parents scrape all that crap off in our childhood home and didn't want to have to do it again. We painted our ceilings the same color as our walls, so it's barely noticeable.dustin said:We had thought about stripping our textured ceiling off because we liked the idea of smooth ceilings. But then thought it best to just paint over it with a thick nap roller.
But really its all up to your own tastes as to wether or not its a deal breaker.
