It's almost easier, but more expensive, to just replace the ceiling with something you like better.

All of the scraping creates a mess throughout the home, and once you are done, you still have to figure out what you want to replace the texture with.

Less is more as they say.. a smooth clean ceiling is much neater. Got a local lad to plaster the ceilings with a thin layer of what he called 'skim' and it looks lovely now!

That's what I was going to ask, too... maybe I'd just resign to getting used to the design and just painting it a ceiling shade that I could live with.

I have heard of this method for finishing ceilings.

I imagine that you could do this yourself if you could practice the technique on scrap wood before doing the ceiling and save a ton of money.
