*** 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! A few years ago I went on an “antiquing spree” and white washed/antiqued a bunch of odds & ends pieces in my home. I love the look and I can think of a few pieces that need an update!
Ellen says
Stencil Me!
It’s been a long time since I made any awesome paintings to fix up my walls. I think it is time to break out the canvas!
Cait says
STENCIL ME! I’ve made one light fixture and I really want to make another. I have it all planned out, and in my head it looks fantastic. Now to just start…
Alex A says
Stencil me!
Our dining room/ kitchen is lacking something right now so I’m just trying to figure that out!
Emily says
Oh, stencil me pretty, pretty please! I have my eye on a tutorial on how to stencil curtains! Our living room and dining room are in desperate need! I have already conquered stenciling the inside of my china cabinet :)
Jean says
Stencil me!
Janette@The2Seasons says
STENCIL ME.
Stenciling, of course.
Kristi says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve been dying to stencil, actually. A modern geometric white/greige on our kitchen’s back wall to tie together our open-ish floor plan.
Oh, paint – I love paint.
Chelsea T says
Stencil me!! I recently painted most of my almond colored closet doors so that they look clean and white. Though I’m proud of the result, I don’t look forward to finishing the last few as it’s a really tedious task. What I’d love to try (in addition to the obvious, stenciling!) is making my own piece of furniture, but until I move out of the city that’s probably not going to happen… Oh, to have a garage/workspace/power tools.
Rachel says
Stencil me! I would love to do a stencil to help decorate the nursery!
Lindsey says
Stencil Me!
We built out our utility room and now I’m looking forward to building some bookcases for our office :-)
Megan says
STENCIL ME!
I had to build a giant wooden clock when I was in school (weird, I know) and would definitely like to try my hand at building some pieces again!
Ashley B says
Stencil me!
We are buying our 3rd house next month and I’ve never stenciled. I wanna try!
Bethany says
STENCIL ME!!!
My DIY project redo: I would love to redo my current couch. I re-covered our previous one and I’ve learned so much since then. I have so many ideas rattling around in my head. We are in the process of purchasing the house we now lease, as soon as that ink is dry I would use this stencil kit in my daughter’s room. Can you think of the possibilities for a teen girl bedroom???
Alex says
Stencil Me!
Felicity says
STENCIL ME!
Molly says
STENCIL ME!
I just DIY’d some pillow cases for the throw pillows on our couch and now I’m dying to reupholster the big comfy arm chair that we inherited from my grandmother. Gram would be proud though, she regularly used to recover her dining room chairs with napkins that she “borrowed” from banquet halls (think family wedding and old lady stuffing napkins in her purse) to change up the look every few years.
Elizabeth says
STENCIL ME! I’m dying to get my hubby to tackle repainting the baby’s dresser–her due date is 100 days away and we need to get a move on that nursery!
Whitney says
Stencil me! I want to use one in our master bathroom. It’s so blah right now!
Wendy says
STENCIL ME!
I have been looking at stencils as an alternative to a headboard and now I can stop looking and do!
Allie says
STENCIL ME!
My DIY project I am currently working on is creating a craft/gift wrap area in part of the laundry room. I have it all designed so hopefully I can start painting this week!
Jennifer vG says
STENCIL ME!
I taught myself how to recover a wingback chair once. It turned so much better than expected and I can’t wait to try again sometime soon!
Carli says
STENCIL ME! Working on my sewing skills for projects around the house.
Caledonia says
Stencil Me!!!!
I would do my master bedroom it needs updated.
BritWash says
STENCIL ME!
Ahsamon says
Stencil Me!
I knitted a blanket for my baby sister last winter and am itching to make another! I have been slowly buying lots of yarn (with the Michael’s 50% off coupons!) in attempt to make a granny square blanket. Now to learn how to crochet… ;)
Jessica P says
STENCIL ME!
We painted a bedroom set and I’m dying to paint some more. Perhaps try the chalkboard paint!
Sara says
STENCIL ME! I made a tufted headboard a while back, and would love the chance to do some more tufting.
Beth McHale says
Stencil Me! So many ideas for this!
eryka says
“STENCIL ME!” – I’m not sure about any DIY projects that I want to try again but I do know that I’d LOVE to stencil my front entryway.. so this giveaway would be awesome!
Aimee says
Stencil me! I did a lot of sewing in high school, a million years ago, under my moms expert eye. I’m ready to tackle some sewing projects of my own!
Robyn S says
STENCIL ME!
I can’t wait to tackle the guest bathroom. We redid the master bath a few years ago, but our poor hall bathroom needs some TLC.
Nicole S. says
Stencil Me!
Kate Bateman says
STENCIL ME!!!
My husband might say that I am addicted to repainting furniture. I’d like to think that I am giving pieces a new life. I’d love to try a stencil on the front of a dresser next!
Crystal G. says
STENCIL ME! I stenciled our bedroom wall and it’s awesome but it seriously took 24 hours. I thought I’d never want to stencil again but now I really want to stencil my kids’ bathroom….
Greta T. says
STENCIL ME! Painting our baby’s crib!
Jeanna Walton says
STENCIL ME! Gosh, I used to stencil years ago. Did a pretty bedroom border that I loved at the time. Maybe it’s time to tackle it again?
sheila says
Stencil Me! I was just thinking the other day that I want to stencil my office walls!
Marianne says
Stencil me.
I stenciled a border in my room as a teen and loved it. I love how these stencils are chic, though, and not country (as opposed to those of yester-year.)
Sonya says
Stencil Me!
My husband put up this amazing balloon decal (99 nine balloons) as a Valentine’s day present a couple years ago and it’s pretty much my favorite part of our room. I’ve been wanting to try something like it somewhere else in the house, but have been gun shy. Maybe stenciling a wall elsewhere would get close to the same effect…now if I could pick a stencil…and a wall…
Sonya says
and by 99 nine balloons, I meant 99 red balloons…
Maggie says
Stencil Me! It’s a kitchen reno for me this time around.
Elizabeth says
Stencil me!
I would like to paint another room (or several) in our house. Besides our dining room every other surface is BEIGE in the whole house. No joke. Blah.
Kellie says
STENCIL ME! Over the summer, I woke up one morning and decided to finally get around to painting my bedroom. I had been lusting after the paint color in your guest bedroom for months. I took the plunge and am thrilled with it. I even did a chevron accent wall that turned out amazing! Now the rest of my house needs painting.
Kate says
STENCIL ME!
I have recently done of a couple of upholstery projects (recovered an old ottoman and built a new headboard) and I love how easy it is to upholster with a staple gun. Even though my hand gets tired, I still love to staple, staple, staple, and then turn it over and see it looking all neat and pretty. My latest stencil need is for some burlap curtains. Yikes.
Stephanie McCollam says
STENCIL ME!!! I am always interested in furniture painting projects. I need more practice, so I have a buffet ready for paint!!
KatieV says
STENCIL ME! I’ve been eyeing several RDS stencils and would love to win this! A DIY I’ve tackled and would love to do again: painting some furniture. I just finished doing our dining room chairs and have plans to tackle the table next.
Katie says
STENCIL ME!
I once attempted to DIY a wing-back upholstered headboard. Upholstering the “wings” was a total failure! But I’ve done more upholstery since then, so now I’m itching to give it another shot! :)
Mia says
Stencil me! I’ve gotten in a kick for making coasters a la pinterest — Christmas presents!!
rebecca says
STENCIL ME
I tried stenciling a desk over the weekend and it was a total disaster. Maybe better quality supplies will make a difference!
