Combining designs for her own unique ceiling medallion |

Seeing the need to create visual appeal to her otherwise bland ceiling, Amy Anderson took on the project of a very unique and beautiful cast plaster design around her light fixture. She surrounded the actual fixture with a design utilizing two mold designs (Our Left and Right Cherubs Mold and our Over the Door Shell Mold) to create a smaller "inner" circle. In designing of any kind, whether it's architecture, interior furniture placement, or wall/ceiling decor, "space" (the absence of elements) is important in achieving proper balance. Space can actually add architectural interest by breaking up patterns to create a "feel" of sorts. It's obvious that Amy understands this often forgotten rule of decorating. She left the wide space between the two rings of cast plaster elements to not only create a much larger design, but to add that interest I speak of. The outside circle contains our Large Floral Medallion Mold, 6 x 6 Floral Mold, Over the door Shell Arch Mold, Floral Arch Mold and Large Oval Medallion Mold. With her ceiling design done, she can now use those molds for many other designs as in ornate wall borders or medallions, on furniture, or even cast in concrete to add interest to her garden. I can only imagine the "Wow's" and "How did you do that's" that come from her friends and family as they step in to her room and feast their eyes upon the creative beauty she added to her ceiling with little expense and no experience. Fabulous Amy! We're impressed!
Designer's tip: Even just one mold can create a highly ornate and beautiful medallion, frame, border or panel on your ceilings or walls so it's not necessary to make a huge investment to have something completely unique to your home and neighborhood. So find your favorite and get started!
