Put up a new fixture over the dinner table. Hated the old one, it was basically a low-rent antler chandelier look-alike.

Goes well with the shitty popcorn ceiling that I haven't gotten rid of yet, doesn't it?

The other roughly 2000 sq. ft. of ceiling are similarly infected.

I've been putting it off for 5 years. Not sure I really care at this point, but eventually I'll do something about it.
Yeah I kind of like it in that spot but hate popcorn ceiling in general.
I looked at a house once that some moron applied popcorn ceiling crap to a wall in a hallway. It was sharp.
Not sharp as in looked cool, sharp as in Ow I’m fuckin bleeding asshole!

I helped a friend move furniture up a narrow stairway with walls coated that way. Painful

Got this shit in my office. They're fine'ish. The shelves are made out of particle board and I've had to put little L brackets to support them.
I think I'd like to recut the shelves for the right and left sides out of 3/4" plywood and add a hardwood lip to the front.
Then somehow figure out how to get the gigantic receiver I have into one of the cabinets. It's a few inches too deep.
And my 50" TV would go in the middle, with a center channel speaker. And put a left and right speaker in the appropriate spots.
Move the desk to the opposite wall.
Also the paint job is bullshit. They sprayed it, too heavy. I know this because they didn't bother to cover up the internals of the recessed lighting. There are little drippy spots and shit.
And take all the junk out.

I'd like to, but that involves getting into this. There's crown all the way around the whole room.

Just because you have a TV doesn't mean you need to mount it.Got this shit in my office. They're fine'ish. The shelves are made out of particle board and I've had to put little L brackets to support them.
