Have you ever run across someone who automatically has an
eye for design and elegance? For me, one of those people is Ellie
Reeves-Walker.
Every time she sends me a photo of something she's done in
her home, I just fall to my knees over the beauty!

Here, Ellie painted her a rich tone of gray/green. She then
did sponging with a lighter sage over the top of it in a random pattern.
Using our
Raised Plaster Leaf Spray
Stencil she plastered the leaves in a random
pattern to create a lovely and very simple medallion around her fixture.
Here's what she had to say:
I measured out where my medallion would be
and then just randomly placed the leaf pattern in a circular shape on the
ceiling... then i went around the room with SEVERAL different shades of green
in a circular pattern to represent "the wind"... and then i just dry brushed
the leaves with some gold paint. it looks SO RICH and it was SO SIMPLE to use
the stencil! THANKS
Ellie, as I bow humbly to your talent, I beg you please,
please, don't stop sharing! (Hmmmmm, my dressing room ceiling is screaming for
this beautiful treatment!).
For the rest of you, sometimes, all it takes is a bit of
paint, a simple design and a GREAT idea like this to give your rooms an
updated, classy look. So give it a try and feel that beautiful sense of
satifaction!
Designer's Tip: Any simple stencil
design, whether painted or plastered can create dramatic designs by simply
repeating them as Ellie did. Consider this treatment for breathtaking walls!
