When we moved in to this beautiful 1977 English Tudor
in Everett, Washington, the kitchen ceiling left much to be desired.
Simple wood framing for the lighting had never been
finished so I jumped at the chance to give it some "glam".
I added cast plaster ornaments on to every "joint" and
edge and then simply painted the entire ceiling the color of the walls.
What resulted was a simplistic, yet much more dramatic
finish to the ceiling as you can tell by the lower photo.
It was so easy to do! I simply cast a number of the
small medallions from the mold and attached them by
spreading joint compound on to the back of each one and holding them in to
place for 60 seconds.
When they were all dry (48 hours later), I simply
painted them along with the framing.
Remember that kitchen cupboards, drawer fronts and
pantry doors can be done using the same technique and turning your kitchen
from drab to "dramatic" with little effort!
