When I wrote they went out of style in the 80's, I should of included in many areas of the country. In 1992 I bought a new home in the Baltimore area after touring dozens of new home subdivisions in Maryland and we never once saw a popcorn ceiling.

In 1998 I sold that home and then spent a week in Myrtle Beach visiting all the new home subdivisions including Pawley's Island. Also we toured new home subdivisions in Brooksville and Spring Hill, Florida in Hernando County and ended buying another new home in Maryland after seeing almost every new home subdivision surround Baltimore. After all that research I never once saw a popcorn ceiling, I'm surprised TV's was still using that in 2001. One thing it does do, it will help cover imperfections in the ceiling. That's why you almost never see a ceiling without some sort of finish applied.
