*** 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 recently redid our hall bath & I FELL IN LOVE with the way our very vintage hamper turned out…went from dingy yellow, to navy, to its beautiful new turquoise! Since I can’t take it with me to my new home (it’s actually mom’s), I picked up another vintage hamper last weekend & can’t wait to turn it from lime green to another statement color!
Esther says

Stencil Me :)

STENCIL ME!
I stenciled my kitchen wall with a homemade handcut design. I was just about to pull the trigger on another wall (I think enough time has passed allowing me to forget how long this process was the first time) in my family room so this give-away is perfect timing!
Danielle says
STENCIL ME! We just stripped our 100 year old door back to the original heart pine wood. It looks awesome. We are talking about doing the pocket doors next. It is a killer project but I can’t wait! Love to get this set for a few projects I have planned! :)
Lacey says
Stencil me!
We faux finished all of the walls in our downstairs and it was equally time consuming and awesome. I’d love to do something fun like that in our new house.
Molly Jackson says
STENCIL ME!
I made a yarn wreath for Halloween and want to make a holiday one.
Crystal @ 29 Rue House says
STENCIL ME!!! I’m planning on using my recently purchased Royal Design Studio stencil this coming weekend and afterward I’m sure I’ll want to do it again in another room in our house (with a different stencil of course!). Does that count??
Jenna says

Brooke Simonson says
Stencil Me!! I am looking to DIY something out of some old wood pallets…waiting for some inspiration (and time)!!! :)
Callie says
Stencil me!! I have a hard time doing any DIY project too similar to an old one. I do woodwork with an old fence that blew over in our tornado this spring, but I can never make the same thing twice even if it’s for someone else. I just get too bored lol. ;) But I guess it’s partially a good problem because then I try new things!
Amy says

Anything landscape related. The yard needs some love and I need more Vitamin D!

I’m dying to hack my Ikea dresser with some wood trim
Megan says
STENCIL ME!
I’m dying to retry our bathroom walls. We were in a hurry when we moved in, but the bathroom was disgusting, so we threw up some wall board. Well, As time has gone on, we’ve don’t other projects around the house and now the wall board just looks cheap and thrown up on the wall, which it was. Sigh. Some day soon.
Lisa R says
STENCIL ME!
I need to take another crack at Modge Podging. I just covered a letter ‘R’ with tissue paper and it is a wrinkled mess! I think my technique is a bit off!
Megan says
Stencil me!
Would love to paint my daughters’ desks again. I did it once, but with less than stellar results. Hope to try it again this winter.

Jen says
STENCIL ME!!!!
A DIY Project, that I haven’t yet tried, but am going to, is painting furniture.
Joanna says
Stencil me! Because I would love to use stencils to help decorate our bedroom, and other empty walls of our home. I enjoy looking at those who used stencils for their creativity, through wall design, ceiling design, concrete stencils, or furniture re-dos… amazing to say the least, and it has inspired me to take my blank slate (also known as my home of empty walls) and begin to create the home I have always dreamed of.
Olivia K says
Stencil me! Using oil based paint on furniture, it leaves it amazing and we need a dresser for our bedroom soon:)
Alisa says
STENCIL ME! I have some new power tools and have used them a little bit but am ready to take on a bigger project!
Michelle says
“STENCIL ME!”
I love the stripes I recently painted in our guest bathroom. They are similar to your first house’s powder room. I think a stencil might be a fun new project that will destract me from painting more stripes!!
Stacy Whittum says
Stencil Me!!!!!
Amanda says

Jess @ Little House. Big Heart. says
Stencil Me!
I recently sewed curtains for the master bedroom and can’t wait to sew them for the other rooms in the Little House. It needs them badly!
Erin B says
Stencil Me! I sanded, stained, and sealed our kitchen table – it was a $15 thrift store find – and although required a ton of labor, I would love to stain a piece of furniture again. There is nothing as rewarding as receiving compliments on furniture — little do people know, it was my handiwork :).
Ellen says

STENCIL ME!! I stained and hung pantry shelves with a friend and organized her foodstuffs into baskets and canisters. It was so satisfying! There’s nothing like good organization.
Courtney says
STENCIL ME!!
I’m dying to paint more furniture and give it that distressed look. I did this on a shelf for my living room but I want to do a nightstand next. I’m eager for a nice, errand-free Saturday to do this.
Jess E says
STENCIL ME (please!)
I’m pretty good with sewing/crafting/baking, but painting is not exactly my favorite thing. My husband, on the other hand, is a painting machine! :D And he would LOVE to stencil our guest bathroom!
Patty says
STENCIL ME!
I tried to make my son an outfit a while back. It would have been so cute, if I had taken my time, done a little more research, and relaxed. Now that I’ve researched a few tips, I plan to try again. I think this time, I’ll stick with just a shirt, though! :)
Cyndi says
STENCIL ME!
I want to DIY renovate our kitchen! We have pine walls, which are lovely, but awlful old cabinets that need some stenciling!
