Oh, How I Love Ceiling Medallions!

I'm totally in love with ceiling medallions. I love how classy they can make any light fixture look! I initially like clean medallions with little embellishment, but have since seen the error of my ways!

I mean look at some of these clever ideas:

Using a frame and sheets of music.
Via BHG

Using plaster to design your own.
David Prussen Via Victoria Larsen

Bling! Nuff said. Via I Lite 4 U

A sassy medallian with feathers and beads for a little girl's room!
Via Purple Cactus Studios

And I freaking LOVE this one!!! Using medallions as wall art! What an easy DIY project that I think I'll need to do if I ever get more space (i.e. bigger house!).
Via DIY Magazine

What do you think? Are you with me on this one??? Do you love ceiling medallions, too?

We are in the process of a remodel and used ceiling medallions for the first time. I, like you, went for the simplest design. Maybe after I use them a little more I will move on to more creative ways. I really like the sheet music one!

I love the yellow ones on the wall. I have that picture saved in my DIY file for a rainy day.

oh boy! What a great idea to put them on the wall... that may be what my big empty wall in my entry needs!
Thanks for the idea!

I never thought of putting them on the wall like that!

Putting them on the wall? That's one of those slap-yourself-on-the-head kind of ideas, huh? Like "why didn't I think of that?" So clever!

I'm hosting an Uppercase Living giveaway, so cruise on over!

Thanks for finding them on the wall. I like the picture frame too. It would be great if you could do velcro up there and switch them for the season, the mood, or the party.

What a great idea to display them as art!

I do like medallions! I've never seen any second-hand. I only see them at Home Depot/Lowe's.

These are so creative. I actually saw ceiling medallions at home depot yesterday and had to go past them to address more critical needs in my house.

Ceiling Medallions really do amp up a room. I hate that one with the pink boa... is hate too strong a word... nope.

I love them too. And considering their impact, they are dirt cheap.

Not that I can think of much else to do with them but Im shocked they don't show up in loads of other DIY projects.
