House I’m renting has the original painted ceilings from the 1970s.

    1. Fun fact it’s actually drywall mud. My family owned a drywall and plastering business for many years and was taught how to do this. If done right you don’t even need to paint it. My dad did this all.over the house when we were kids in the early 90s.

      I had this in the house I grew up in! I loved to figure out where they must have started and ended but it was confusing. They collect dust like a pro.

      It’s almost impossible to match if you have to fix stuff. Thats why we don’t like it. You’d have to redo the entire ceiling to make it blend. Just use stomp and it’s so much easier.

      That’s way too tasteful for the 70s. All these people thinking it was a golden age. I’ve talked to people that have a shared ptsd for certain shades of brown, orange & green that we suffered through childhood.

    5. So much better looking than popcorn ceiling that was also popular for some unholy reason

    6. My house that was built in the 70s has a very similar ceiling treatment. I love it so much – very nice to look up at while you’re spiraling at 4am.
