WHY would you remove a popcorn ceiling unless it's ruined and there's no
choice.
Perhaps the fad of flat ceilings is most important to you.
Unpainted popcorn looks totally unfinished and impossible to clean in any
manner.

Asbestos? Possible up until the 1980's.

The stuff is ugly as sin.

In my case, it didn't fit the style of the house. A split-fieldstone
house with a cove ceiling in the living room. Overall the house
looks a bit like an old English cottage.

Then some jackhole sprayed popcorn on the living room ceiling and
added glitter as a final "f--k you".

You bet. Our agent was under orders to not bother showing us any
house with excessive wall paper (more than one room) or anything that
even looked like popcorn. Not going to happen - don't waste my time.

Good for room acoustics and a home theater room. Add Floor carpet, foam
wall treatments, bass traps.

Glad you mentioned acoustics, Greg. Especially in a kitchen you don't
normally
have carpet or drapes to soften the noise...popcorn ceilings do help a bit.
Foam wall treatments (that's different) and bass traps ... now you've
either
lost me or you're trying to be funny, hard to tell.

Yeah, acoustics are important, more important than the ability to clean
a ceiling in the room you cook in and collect the splatter of grease.
That was the first room we scraped that crap from before it got
disgusting.

Inch or two foam sheet, with decorative fabric cover, put on walls to
reduce reflections.

Bass trap, usually a large hunk of foam in the corners to absorb bass
frequencies, help balance sound.
