*** 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.

Stencil me!
I would love to try to repaint my bedroom – I picked a color that I thought looked gray at the time, but now looks plain old white. I also attempted a hand drawn stencil on the wall behind the bed…. Yeah, can’t say that that was a good idea.
Marissa says

The DIY project I want to do again is wood floors in the basement. Maybe an engineered system this time, no glue.
Leslie says
STENCIL ME!
I would love to finish the tile in the tub area of our one and only bath but would hate to run into a snag and lose the only shower in the house. One day it’ll get done. I hope.

Stacy says
“STENCIL ME!”
I’ve been considering a stencil in our yet-to-happen bedroom redo. So this would really be a catalyst to kick-off that project!
Hmmm… One DIY project that I’ve tackled once and are dying to try again?… It’s big but probably remodeling our kitchen. We’ve been in our house for 3 years now and I STILL miss the old kitchen. [sigh] Currently, our kitchen screams early 80’s and I’m not lovin’ it. ;-)

STENCIL ME!!
I’ve managed to paint our bedroom. That counts, right? I haven’t managed to get a single thing back on the wall or decorate, though. Stencils intimidate me, but I have a blank wall in our bedroom that is begging for something.

I can’t wait to re-face the kitchen cabinet doors in the same way I did the bathroom ones.

Jenny says
STENCIL ME!
We have some hideous wall paper in several rooms and wooden walls in the bedroom that remind me of being at a summer camp when I was 10. I’ve hung up some art, framed photos, and a kite from our trip to China to hide the walls but… we could definitely use an alternative like this!
Nikki says
