Long-Term Options For Pesky Debt Ceilings

I'll be honest here - I'm no architect. When I hear about things like "debt ceilings", I imagine it must be just another choice, like cathedral or vaulted ceiling.

However, there also seems to be great negativity around these debt ceilings, so I thought I would offer a few suggestions as to some ways to perhaps spruce up, or at least make them a little more enjoyable...

1) What is it about debt ceilings that are so unpopular? Does the stipple or popcorn fall off into coffee cups while you are sitting under one? Easy fix! Scrape those bumpy little things off, and paint the dang thing copper, so that it resembles the exterior of a church or heritage-style business building...

2) Add actual copper cladding - in addition to making your debt ceiling look tres fashionable, it is unlikely to do whatever it is that turns copper green outdoors. There is a word to describe that process, but I'm only on my first cup of coffee, so my Google skills are compromised...

3) Paint a mural on your debt ceiling - the mural wall went out of style in the 1970's, but people still travel billions of miles to see Michael Angelo's ceiling murals in the Sixteen Chapels. Imagine making a few extra dollars inviting guests in to your own home, for your adorable ceiling murals of rabbits, or Star Wars characters in an epic battle recreation!

4) Glass roof, glass ceiling! Imagine...why has no else thought of this before???

5) Artificial (silk) plants - you could create a literal jungle/landscape if you adhered silk plants to your ceiling - you'd never have to look at another unattractive debt ceiling again, in any room of your home! One room could feature a sprawling savannah of natural grasses - another could employ whimsical weeds and shoots. The best part? They would never get dusty hanging upside down, the dust would just keep falling off!!

So there you have it. If you are truly unhappy about a debt ceiling, just consider a frugal or practical way to freshen it up. You may never have to be bothered by one again!!
