PROBLEM:
Do you see popcorn above your head?
I am not sure who thought installing ceilings with texture was a good idea, but they attacked America. This stuff is everywhere. In the homes of good people, creating static. Get rid of it. Any way you can. It could be toxic and contain asbestos, depending on when it was installed.

ADVICE:
I would hire a contractor to lay in new ceilings. While you are at it, I would put in new lighting. Dimmer's everywhere. Fluorescent, or LED fixtures are most energy efficient.
OUT OF LOVE:
Beware of the blue light of the fluorescent. It will make your house feel cool. If you use a fluorescent light, paint cool colors. Also beware! Make sure to buy dimmers that correspond to the light source. A Fluorescent light needs a fluorescent dimmer...etc. Be most weary of this on ceiling fans. It also takes a moment for a fluorescent light to dim so be patient. You are safe with incandescent light, it is more similar to sunlight. Easy dimming and warm light.

Ha! That reminded me of a an amazing moment. I was doing CA on Children's Health care of Atlanta, and two walls were painted different colors on either side of a long corridor. The reflection on one against the other changed them both entirely. This color also changed in natural light and rooms with sunlight. Lesson learned, test your colors under the source of light that they will be brought to life by. There are colors that change less under different light sources...but I can't reveal all my secrets. :)
For those crazy do-it-yourself people:
