*** 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…
- BONUS QUESTION: … one DIY project that you’ve tackled once and are dying to try again. Is it a paint project? Something building related? Are you itching to take another whack at a crafting or sewing project?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Nov 14th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US (more on that here). This giveaway is open to The United States.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Royal Design Studio.

Landscaping our yard… We thought we made it a low maintenance yard but it ended up being a “low maintenance yard” aka high maintenance.

STENCIL ME!
Paintable wallpaper! It wasn’t too bad to hang, and it looks absolutely incredible, almost like a 3-D stencil. So now i would love to try my hand at stenciling :)

Ashley says
STENCIL ME!
I made a small craft table years ago, and am itching to go bigger and better with a farmhouse-style dining room table in 2013… Could be great, or we could end up with a lot of extra firewood!
Rachel says
Stencil ME!!!
I really want to stencil the wall in my living room a tone on tone so it has texture. This would be perfect for me!
Sue says
Stencil me!
I want to use a gel stain on white painted wicker furniture to make it look like it was stained to begin with. I tested this out on a white wicker waste basket and it worked well when I used a flesh tone paint over the white paint to tone down the spots that showed through the stain.
Christina says
STENCIL ME! Throughout the 2 1/2 years of living in my first home, my most common DIY projects are art pieces. Some involve painting canvas, making over thrift store frames, or printing posters of my own photography. I’m trying to work up the courage to DIY fix up my bathroom. We’ll see if I get antsy enough this winter to make a move!
Jane F. says
STENCIL ME! Since we moved in (a year+ ago!) I’ve painted three rooms in our house, and it makes such a difference! I’m itchin’ to paint the rest!

Wrenaria says
STENCIL ME! I’m dying to sew curtains for my room, but haven’t had a chance to get any liner for them yet (I want them to thoroughly block out light for sleeping), so the panels are just sitting in a folded pile on my dresser. Torture.
wendy Chatterton says
“Stencil me!” I actually was just looking at different stencils to possibly use in our bedroom. I used a bold color and want to tone it down a little – this would be the perfect way!
Krista says
STENCIL ME . . . painted stripes

STENCIL ME!
My husband and I are currently building a house– we went searching for furniture this weekend and it got me so excited to get into our house once it’s completed and begin decorating!
Alise says
STENCIL ME! We had horrible dated paneling in our living room when we moved in, and immediately painted it with some leftover paint from the kitchen. But four years later the room is flat and uninspired. I’m really ready to repaint (or stencil!) to breathe some life back in to the “living” room.
:-)
Brittney Saffell says
Stencil me! I can’t wait to try to make curtains again, maybe even a roman shade. Making curtains will mean all of the really important, directly influences my life stuff is done around the house :)
Catie says
Stencil Me! (or stencil our hallway, rather)
I’m actually smack in the middle of making a “2” shaped pinata for my daughter’s birthday and I already can’t wait to make another – whatever the shape may be! It is incredibly easy and EXTREMELY cheap (old cardboard box, tape, tissue paper). Plus the color combos and design possibilities are almost endless :o)
Mayank says
Stencil me, please!
Erin says
Stencil me! My husband and I refinished our coffee table about 5 years ago and turned an ugly oak table with a wrecked top into a gorgeous dark stained table with a tin top. I’d love to revamp another piece of furniture!
Dinka says
STENCIL ME!
We DIY’d our bathroom from top to bottom (after the previous owners left, it was MUCH NEEDED, OMG). Ripped out everything except the built-in tub, which we had stripped and re-glazed right in the bathroom.
NOW we are eyeing our downstairs 1/2 bath…oh dear!
Jenna says
Stencil me! I’ve been making these exacto-knife maps for wedding gifts this year, and I’m definitely making more!

Laura @ Chaotic Domestic says
Stencil me!
We’ve spent a lot of time re-doing some of the spaces in the house… but I think the living room needs some love. We’ve only spent some time in there… and it could use a bit more work to make it truly ours.
Diandra says
STENCIL ME!
I want to makeover another old trunk, but I haven’t come across any good candidates yet. The last one was fabric lined and painted teal. I love it!
Danielle E says
STENCIL ME!!
A stencil could be perfect for our little 1/2 bath.
