My house is a crime scene

Or that's how it has seemed lately.  We recently went through the massive undertaking of  removing the popcorn from our ceilings.  The crime scene reference is because of the tarps we've had taped everywhere to keep the mess down.

Matt, hard at work

And who knew that our white ceilings were not  so white.  Check out this dramatic before and after:

The process entailed moving all our furniture out, putting tarps down, scraping the old popcorn off, taping or removing the lights and vents, taping the walls, and re-painting the ceiling.

All our furniture, piled up in the living room

After that we decided we might as well install crown molding while we were dealing with the mess.  We bought ourselves a saw and borrowed a nail gun and Matt got to work.

Looks pretty good, don't you think? Thanks to Matt for all his hard work!
