Excerpt: “Artex, Beverley Littlestone had to admit, was a bugger. If a time came when they could afford to redecorate the bedroom, then those short, spiky stalactites hanging from the ceiling would definitely need going over with an electric sander. Or maybe it was possible to plaster over it. Alternatively they could leave the Artex alone and get a quote for a false ceiling, which could hang a few inches below the original. Might be cheaper and less messy in the long run.”
