*** This giveaway is now closed. See who won below!***
Sorry for the late notice (travel is messing up my winner picking mojo!), but the random winner of this stencil prize is… Jen (who once “made a chevron painting with instructions I found on Pinterest and it turned out great”). Congrats Jen!
The love of stencils that first blossomed when we did our office walls only grew stronger when we tackled a couple of stenciling projects for our book (on pages 26 & 282). So in the spirit of sharing the love, this week’s prize comes from the maker of the very stencils that we used in all three cases – Royal Design Studio. We’re longtime fans of their modern shapes and patterns, and they’re starting you off with a $100 stencil gift card and throwing in a $100 “Stencil Success Kit” that includes the essentials for executing your stencil project. You’ll get a roller set, 7 brushes, and your choice of five stencil crémes. And to top it all off, how about a $50 paint allowance to the paint store of your choice? That totals a $250 kick in the pants to get your stencil on.
- PRIZE: $100 stencil gift card to Royal Design Studio, plus a “Stencil Success Kit” and a $50 paint allowance to the paint store of your choice
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “STENCIL ME!” and tell us…

STENCIL ME! My wife and I recently rented out our town home and have tackled more DIY projects on our new place in the last 3 months than in our combined lives. I’m still reeling from hanging a new front door (after putting it in and out 5 times to get it just right). I’d give that another whirl.

Laura says
STENCIL ME!
Inspired by one of your posts, just before our daughter was born I decided that my maternity leave would be the perfect time to stencil our boring bathroom walls. I’m now the mother of an adorable, active, one-year old, and I’m still hoping to find the time to fix up our bathroom!

STENCIL ME! I recently painted the quarter round shoe molding in my bedroom white to match the molding. It had previously been stained like the hardwood floor. It makes the biggest difference in how bigger the molding looks! Can’t wait to the rest of the house.
Erika says
STENCIL ME!
I am not a good DIYer… my husband can DIY ANYTHING, however. He loves to build our own furniture – our dining table, a corner hutch, entertainment center, kitchen cabinets… I just keep him fed and help with clean up :-)
Suzanne says
STENCIL ME! I have a very long hallway that begs for design.

STENCIL ME!

STENCIL ME!

BTW – it was lovely meeting you both in Toronto!
Angie D. says
STENCIL ME, you know you want, to ;)
I am itching to paint an old, funky seventies hutch I’d thrifted earlier this year! I’m painting it aqua so it can become a fun fixture in my candy store :). A few years back I revived a pair of old dressers with slick white pain and glass handles…such a rewarding project!
kristin says
Stencil me! I would love to stencil my half bath.

Bridgette says
STENCIL ME!
We live in a house in the hills in Los Angeles. Our common living space is upstairs and all the bedrooms are downstairs. The upstairs is light and bright (we basically live in a tree house) but the downstairs is super dark; it’s like we’re living in a cave down there.
A project that desperately needs to be redone is the paint job in our master bedroom. This will be our THIRD attempt to get it right! My husband is ready to kill me. First, we tried to combat the darkness with a pale green paint color on the walls. Not bad but just not right. Then we decided to embrace the darkness and just go for cozy; we painted the walls (what we thought would turn out to be) navy blue but alas, it turned out more “royal.” Again, not awful but just not the right fit.
Now we are back to the drawing board…looking for the perfect shade of navy and thinking that, on our focus wall behind the bed, we’ll add a geometric stencil!
Thad says
Stencil Me! We have a downstairs bathroom that will soon be painted and our stairwell is looking pretty rough right now.
Callie says
STENCIL ME!
There are lots of projects I’d love to do again. I think the list is shorter if I list the ones I wouldn’t love to do again. Pulling up my carpet and refinishing m y hardwoods was a… well you know what I’m sayin’. Sucked. But totally worth it.
I guess, if I had nasty carpet with pretty wood underneath, I’d man up and do it. Again. Fingers crossed though. Fingers crossed.
Krista says
STENCIL ME!!! I made curtains once – they were just okay. Now that I sew more often, I’m ready to try again! Would be extra cool to stencil the fabric!
Danielle says
Stencil me! I would love to re-do each and every one if my sewing projects…after taking a class!
Jen says
Stencil me! I painted some temporary “art” for my bathroom until I could find something I liked. That was 3.5 years ago. I would like to try painting something that doesn’t look so temporary.
Kristin P. says
stencil me!
I’m about half way through a few projects that need to be finished! I’m trying to finish those before I start anything else, but it’s hard!
Cassidy says
Stencil me…I would like to try and stencil our small dresser.
Rachel says
STENCIL ME!
Actually, I’d love to take on another stenciling project… I did a tall cabinet and now I’d love to stencil everything!
Joy says
Stencil Me! I’ve been so busy working on our house–I’ve spent the last month or so painting the exterior of my bungalow myself–that I haven’t been able to spend any time in my studio. I can’t wait to have time to get back to my (fun) painting!
Vickie says
STENCIL ME :)
A few years ago I tried making my own headboard. The end result turned out decent enough to use, but after seeing a bunch of upholstering DIYs online I’ve learned a few more steps to make the next one better. I’d love to tackle that project again and maybe I might even incorporate some stenciling! Thanks!
Elizabeth says
Stencil ME! I’ve been wanting to tackle stenciled wall for a couple years…might be the kick in the butt I need to do it:)

STENCIL ME please! I just moved into a new place, and the walls are crying out for some stencil-y love.

I want to sew some pillows for the family room! I made a couple for my daughter’s room when I was prego, and now I’d like to have more around the house.
Cindy says
Stencil me! I’d love to try some in my kitchen but have never stenciled before!
