The thing with popcorn ceilings is that they have thousands of tiny sharp points that break off for nothing.
If anything brushes the ceiling, particles come floating down and get all over everything.
I'd love to scrape every bit of it off, but my mom likes it.

When we did the big remodel of the beach house... that was a decision we made: no popcorn. There's popcorn in the living room from before, and we didn't take it out, but in all the places we re-did the ceiling, like the front room and my room and downstairs... we just painted the ceiling.
