So as soon as we pulled off all of the tobacco covered wallpaper, we scrubbed down the walls and decided we needed to get rid of the popcorn ceilings. My mom came in town to help for a week and my good friend Katie came over to help. 
Scraping popcorn isn't the most fun. First you have to spray down the popcorn which is annoying in itself. You have two choices: 1. Carry around a squirt bottle and get cramps in your thumbs from spraying the whole ceiling or 2. bring in the garden hose. We opted for number two. Then you have to scrap every inch of the ceiling dow
n, getting covered with popcorn while you do it. Once that all dries, you come back in with a sander and you sand everything down making the ceiling very smooth and you covered in dry wall dust. It gets everywhere and in every part of your body you never want dry wall to be.

After everything was scraped, we started priming and painting. Our living room and family room are a light tan color and our kitchen and bathroom are yellow. Upstairs we have a sage green bedroom, a teracotta bedroom and a brown master.
Even Kira helped with the taping!
