It&#8217;s dirt cheap, extremely innovative, and open to all kinds of personalization.  He used black-and-white photocopied artwork on a white ceiling, but you could also paint the ceiling and use color images.<\/p>\n<p>He chose a &#8220;Birds and Bees&#8221; theme (actually birds, flowers, and bugs), but it goes without saying that you could choose darker imagery.  Victorian graveyard images (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alsirat.com\/cemart\/index.html\">City of the Silent<\/a> has a nice collection, although the site currently appears to be wonky), a collage of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freshettesgraphics.com\/Halloween9.html\">vintage Halloween graphics<\/a>, or nature illustrations featuring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.finerareprints.com\/misc\/goldsmith\/goldsmith_1236.htm\">spiders and scorpions<\/a> are all possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>I like the crisp, clean lines of the art against the ceiling; they draw the eye without being overwhelming.  Decoupage is fairly easy to remove, so this would be a good decorating idea for renters.  It&#8217;s also a project that doesn&#8217;t have to be done all at once; you could make your ceiling an ongoing work of art, filling in blank areas as you have time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mrpeacockstyle.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/decoupage-your-ceiling.html\">Link<\/a> <I>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/\">Apartment Therapy<\/a>)<\/I><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogger Mr. Peacock came up with a wonderful way to add interest to a ceiling by decoupaging clip art all over it.
