Home Improvement: Popcorn Ceiling Removal

{The ceiling paint is Conco, a Menard's brand, flat antique white}

We last remodeled our kitchen over 25 years ago and it's definitely time for a change, and with my recent collection of kitchen images on Pinterest, I am ready for some remodeling projects. 

All the ceilings in our home have the popcorn on them. It wasn't that big a deal for me to have them removed, but with the grime and dirt, plus the cobwebs that were stuck to them, we decided to just take it down. It seemed like an easier plan than to clean and repaint them. It actually came down fairly easily. We removed everything from the kitchen and laid down dropcloths to catch the debris. My husband took a medium drywall knife and scraped it off the ceiling.  It is a good way to get your walls washed down afterwards from all of the dust.
