Our house was built in the early 40's and has been 'updated' a few times but the previous owners. We are only the third. We purchased the home from our in laws, they've done some awful stuff in their own right but the worst offense they did was not removing the shag carpeting that became matted shag carpeting, stained dropped ceiling panels and faux wood paneling from one room that has been our boys' room. We are moving the boys to a new room and the room I speak of will be my new studio. We've seen the baby blue plaster behind the paneling but had never seen the ceiling. We asked them what was under it and they didn't know.
We found this gorgeous arched ceiling underneath. We haven't removed all the ceiling panels yet so we have no idea of most of the condition of the ceiling but what we did see was fantastic! Have any of you dealt with lead in your older homes?
We of course need a test but hubby was thinking the plaster walls and ceiling were covered over as a way keep the lead that may be in the paint at bay. They boys have had that room for several years and have never tested positive for lead poisoning.
