Transforming the Foyer

Is it really a foyer, though, when it is 3 feet seven inches wide (109cm) and 11 feet 3 inches long (343 cm) with a doorway on every wall?

Nonetheless.

I have been living with my popcorn ceiling since forever. (It was 1997 when I moved in. Since then.)

About a month ago, I read the exploits of a young Vancouver couple who have actually tackled ALL the popcorn on their apartment's ceilings. Hats off to them, for sure! Laren and Paolo at meetmyuglybaby.com inspired me to tackle our. I started with just this little bit in the "foyer."


(oh, sorry, you want to actually see the popcorn, don't you? and yes, I will be replacing that light fixture just as soon as is feasible.)


more?

There it is.

It wasn't that hard at all, even though we had painted it.

I sprizted with water and scraped. I got it this far and left it for a couple of days. I wondered if my husband would notice.


He didn't.
But, once begun, is half done, so I started at it again.


I worked in 15 minute bursts, in no particular rush, until I finished.

I found what it was hiding: an enourmous crack and, even, a hole.


Nothing new in this house.

But.


I've another project.

And really?

I just wanted to paint the walls.
