I had been wanting to stencil around the light fixture in the dining room for a while, but the ceiling stencils I found were all in the $100 range. Then I had an idea... would it work if I took a design and just repeated it around the light fixture to appear as a medallion? Well, I decided to give it a try. For the last several days, we have been eating at the kitchen island because I've had the big ladder taking up the dining room space, painting a beautiful design on the ceiling. I kept thinking how nervous my mother would be if she knew that I was standing on a ten-foot ladder painting on a ceiling! It was tedious, time-consuming, and definitely caused a pain in my neck, but the result, I believe, is well worth it!

O my gosh! That is FABULOUS! You did a great job!
I want to do something like that as well..but was frustrated with the cost of the stencil sets..
what a great idea.
Beautiful! You've inspired me to do something like that on my own ceiling. Cheaper than Bradbury paper, that's for sure!
You did a wonderful job. The pain in the neck is worth it when the end results are so beautiful! Andi from Newborn House
