*** 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!
I want to paint more furniture. I bought a bench at the estate sale of the old house we bought and then tore down, and I’ve had visions of making it into something useful (for 3.5 years now…sigh).

I just re-finished my own dresser and now I cannot wait to redo another piece of furniture I plan on using as a tv stand! The stencil would be perfect for it!

Sewing a skirt…and hopefully get it perfect this time!

vickielovesjeff says
I painted my bathroom cabinets and want to tackle the kitchen cabinets, too. Maybe a subtle stencil application on the lower or upper would be cool. Hmmm…
vickielovesjeff says
Oh shoot! I forgot to say “Stencil me!” Boo :(
Annie says
STENCIL ME!
I just painted the upstairs hallway which was cream on cream and now is dark/bright/deep purple with white trim…slowly slowly one room at a time, our house is going from cream trim to white trim. Next on the list is to try fabric art for the baby room.

My bathroom floors. I botched them hardcore when I did them 3 years ago. Thanks to your tutorial at Granny’s, I want to try it again…soon!
Mariah S. says
STENCIL ME! Please :)
When I was a kid I helped my mom build a low deck in our backyard. I mostly just held the pieces together so she could connect them, but it made me feel very strong, and super cool. I would love to try a simple deck project like that again to see if I still had my building skillz!
Brittany G says
STENCIL ME! I’m ready to paint some more trim in my house. When we moved in, it was all this horrible tan color. Now that we’ve painted some of it a crisp white, it pops so much more and motivates me to finish the rest!
Maria says
STENCIL ME! My daughter is moving back home to finish up her college degree and I’m getting ready to redo her room – how fun would a cool stencil be for the one big empty wall in her room!

Michelle F. says
STENCIL ME!
I need to remove the wallpaper in the master bedroom and bathroom of our new home. We managed to remove it from one of the other rooms already but with high ceilings, the master will be the most challenging. Thankfully, I’m feeling very inspired by your blog to get it done and start decorating! :)
Kiki says
STENCIL ME!
I want to redo our kitchen and bathroom. Which is…insane. We’ll see if we can get on board and get the dough saved.
Kim says
STENCIL ME! I’ve sewed since I was little but dont do it much. I made a baby quilt for my nephew, but now she is expecting again and so am I. So that’s two more quilts that I need to make in the next few months. Eek!

STENCIL ME!
I love painting – walls, furniture, floors. It’s such a quick and cheap way to change things up.
Chelsey says
STENCIL ME! I attempted to make my own stencil and use it on our floors. It didn’t come out very well at all, so I ended up painting over it. I’d love to try it again using a real stencil this time! :)

STENCIL ME!
I recently reupholstered my first chair and I’m dying to find another one in need of a makeover.
Britten says
Stencil Me! My current project is a to-the-studs bathroom remodel. It’s not the first time I’ve remodeled a bathroom, but it’s the first bathroom I’ve done completely on my own. I’d love to stencil the walls and add a little visual interest to an otherwise plain room.

STENCIL ME!
We just put a bid in on a house and aren’t DIY’ers really, but I can’t wait to get started on the new house.
Right now it has wallpaper in it that makes you say, “HOLY WALLPAPER BATMAN!” It is the at the top of the hit list!

I’m dying to paint a new accent wall! Or color block one wall with a super wide stripe, and fill it in with a block of text, a quote maybe, in a mishmash of different fonts!
Kristin says
STENCIL ME!
I stenciled the bottom shelf of an IKEA Vittsjo coffee table and am now eager to try it on the drawer fronts of my Hemnes bedside tables…
Stacie says
STENCIL MEEE!
I crocheted my little sister an afghan for her graduation two years ago and sadly, my stitches didn’t hold together too well and it has since fallen to shreds. I worked so hard on it – I’m still bummed. But not as bummed as my sister. She was devastated that something I had put hours and hours into was coming undone. So for Christmas this year, I’ve decided to make her another! This time I swear I’ll thread it all together more carefully!
Virginia Luyster says
Stencil me! I have a wall in my family room that I am dying to stencil!
Mary Elizabeth says
STENCIL ME! I have recently attacked many craft projects for a thing 1, thing 2/ Dr. Seuss baby shower I am giving for my sister-in-law. I’m having such a great time with the crafts that I’m already trying to decide what my next project will be. Painting walls is something we really need to do in our home, so what a great opportunity this would be for us!
Preeti says
STENCIL ME! I want to put a stenciled wall in our pantry.
PK says
Stencil me! I painted the master bathroom two years ago. And now I want to do it again, because I’ve changed my mind about the color. Same goes for the kitchen and the dining room. Geesh.
Kristin says
STENCIL ME!
I was just thinking this weekend that I should try the stick-on vinyl tiles in the guest bath. I did them in the other 2 bathrooms…
Monica Mikucki McKeen says
STENCIL ME!
Hi Sherry & John! We just picked up your book and saw you at the signing in Chicago at the West Elm. And I was so inspired I actually just picked up 2 quarts of teal paint for our powder room today and was thinking I need to stencil the walls and ceiling! Please help make my DIY stencil dreams come true!
Anna says
Stencil Me!
I haven’t really done DIY yet – but now that we’re closing on a condo I can’t wait to start!
