When we bought this (old) house, the back bedroom that overlooks the yard seemed to be the best one! The closer we looked through, the more we saw… This room did not have a popcorn ceiling, but we had the ceiling textured and repainted along with the other rooms. No problems there, the team said…
Bathroom Updates
