If you are looking to retain or add a touch of elegance to your own surroundings - how about fabricating and installing your own decorative plaster accents.

I have found architectural rubber moulds that are available for ceiling medallions, crown mouldings, pillars and more. Rubber moulds can also be made from a drawing, sample or photograph which is ideal for all those historic homes.

If you're not sure how, don't worry, your rubber moulds will come complete with an instructional dvd that will guide you every step of the way.

You can even take this do it yourself project and turn it into a part time business that you can run out of your own home, in your spare time and whenever you want!
