[spence]

My living room and kitchen have really awful sponged ceilings over sheet rock. A simple option were were thinking would be to just scrape off the sponged plaster and go over with a thin bead board. I've installed it on walls (using adhesive and staples) but never on a ceiling.

Is my assumption that the sponged plaster will scrape off easily likely to be correct? I'm afraid it's going to pull off the paper and fall apart.
