Sponged on plaster on ceilings
+8
I have horrible ceilings. House built in 70’s. The final coat of mud was sponged. I know how to remove popcorn ceiling.....I wish it was that, but don’t have a clue how to remove this. It’s very hard. And VERY ugly. It may be more trouble than it’s worth, but any help would be great. It reminds me of ocean fossils. Ewwwww.
Hi Geri,
You could cover it with wood planks - painted or not. You could also remud it yourself or if you feel that you don't have the skills, have a professional do it. Hope that helps a bit.
If it won't give itself up to the "Popcorn Method," you may have to plank the ceiling. I think they're very pretty. Here's several ideas, I hope it helps.

1/4” drywall
You could put up 1/4 inch sheetrock right over it. That would probably be easier.
I have nothing to add . . . You are too funny and gave me a giggle with "ocean fossils" - I like that ceiling. Thanks for the laugh. 😆
Skim coat them-you can do it with a roller.
I have this finish on my ceiling in the DR and like it. Of course, I am lots older than you and tastes are different.
I have the same exact ceilings in my entire house and garage. I discovered when I repainted the living room and I got some on the ceiling and I went to wipe it that it wiped the ceiling design right off. If you just spray it and get it wet it can be all just wiped off. It's just drywall mud.
I also have this in my dining & living rooms, and like it.
fill it in with drywall patch, the tube thats already mixed.
