*** 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.

I would love to refinish our wood floors… again. We used a water based sealant that wasn’t put on QUITE thick enough. So… our floors are looking a bit worn. :(
BUT, live and learn. :)
Nora Vassar says
Stencil me! The last DIY project I did was painting the inside of my house. While I LOVED the results of the fresh paint, I hated how I felt the next morning. I was just telling the hubby it looks like every room needs a fresh coat and soon!

This is a timely question. I put my house on the market a few weeks ago and while I think it is beautiful, and several prospective buyers claim to have “house envy”, there haven’t been any nibbles yet. So, I’ve considered taking it off the market until spring and work on this house a little longer. The downstairs powder room is my particular problem. It’s small and it doesn’t get a lot of light. So, what color did I paint it? Benjamin Moore’s Hazy Skies. Now, I love this color but it seems to suck light out of the room and makes everything look drab. I’ve been trying to think how I might redo it and a stencil might just do the trick. The bathroom on the first floor should be a nice little surprise and what would be more surprising than a stencil with a bit of colorful whimsy? If the new owners don’t like it, they can always paint over it and restencil it. It’s easier to change than wallpaper and a lot livelier than just paint.
In the meantime, I have to watch my pennies. I live in NJ and am dying to get out of here. I was laid off last year and I need to move on.
Meg @ Revamp Homegoods says

STENCIL ME!
Dianna says
STENCIL ME!
I love a good stripe on a wall and have done it in two houses. Once vertical and now horizontal. Would always do them again, but stenciling would take me to the next level!

Stencil me! I haven’t yet, but I am ready to paint our master bath, bedroom, guest bath, hallway, living room= the whole freaking house!

Jess says
Stencil me! Building a fab treehouse for our boys!
Jessica W says
Stencil me.
One project that i’d like to do over is the table I built for our kitchen, the gaps between the wood planks on the top are too wide and catch crumbs. Blech.
Tipling says
Stencil Me! We just moved into a new (to us) house so we have a blank slate to start with. I would love to stencil a wall in our entry way.
Brandy says
STENCIL ME! I successfully spray painted a little end table/cart thingy (technical term). It’s actually the same one you did in your book and even the same color…strange coincidence. Now I need to finish painting a dresser that’s been sitting in my garage for months:)
Laura says
Stencil me! I recovered our dining room chairs but chose the wrong kind of fabric. after a year with my three messy eaters they are in dire need of some attention. I’m thinking oilcloth this time so they can easily be wiped down.
Hemma says
“STENCIL ME”
Have never used a stencil so this would be a great incentive to try it. Certainly have lots of walls to try it on.

I just spray painted an Orangina bottle a flat white and then taped a design with painter’s tape and sprayed silver over it. It came out great and I can’t wait to collect all kinds of containers to spray and give as gifts with flower in them.
