What is worse than painting a pressed ceiling?
Whats worse than painting a pressed ceiling once is having to paint that same ceiling again, a.k.a. second coat. Hubs and I painted the kitchen‘s ceiling on Saturday. Was it worth it? Heck ya. But oh, the horror, we still have the rest of the house’s pressed ceilings to paint!
Perhaps one day we’ll be wise enough to pay someone to do it for us.

That sounds like hard work! Well done on trying to brave it yourself.
PS I loved pressed ceilings. They have such character.
Thanks for the comment Fiona! I love the look of pressed ceilings. It adds such charm and history to a house.
