Doing a Decorative Pattern on My Dining Room Ceiling

by Linda Leyble

I worked on my dining room a few years back and was pretty happy with it for while, but then I felt it needed some extra bling. I decided hat I wanted to go for broke and add a beautiful. large decorative pattern to the ceiling. I used a Melanie Royals' Modello - a one time use stencil - to help me to do this more easily. First I added the background layer and when that was dry, I added the scrolling pattern around it in mostly gold. It took a leap of faith to do this - but I was so happy with the outcome. It really adds intimacy and drama to the room. You can see the step-by-step on my blog link.

After: Here is the result!

Before - it was nice but needed something extra!
