Ceeeeeeilings, oh, oh, my lovin' ceilings...

Finally painted the ceiling in my computer room. It's only 10 ft square, but so loaded with stuff it took an hour to clear out enough stuff to work & to drape everything else. *sigh* After the paint dried I see some places where I didn't put it on thick enough to cover. With the magic pink paint I know I painted all of it, but I have to remember to keep the roller full of paint. Oh, well, tomorrow's another work day & I can patch it then. Have 2 HUGE (by my standards) ceilings to paint, but those rooms have far less clutter, so less prep work.

I didn't read too much of that, but it sounded a lot different- you're putting a texture over some sort of material, ours (in my area, at least) are mostly plasterboard (gypsum between cardboard, basically). The 'modern' way is to leave it smooth, and that's what they did when they put up the new ceilings, but the old way was to go over them with plaster & texture it with big sponges, I think.

I like the look of the textured better, but it takes a LOT more paint to cover.
