*** 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?

STENCIL ME!
I’ve painted my iron bed. Twice! The first time it was a deep red/purple and now it’s a bright teal. It’s so easy to do and it makes the biggest difference in my room that I’m already picking out the next color for it.
Allison W says
STENCIL ME!
I was thinking of trying to do a cross stitch again and vowing to finish it! When I was young I’d get an entire thing done just to stop because I didn’t want to do the back stitching!
Lanie says
STENCIL ME!
I’m dying to try building another light fixture. And, of course I’m excited to try stenciling!
Amanda says
STENCIL ME!
We took a wall out of our bathroom. I’d love to take down another one.
Or maybe cabinets – we pulled out cabinets, but my husband didn’t think taking a sledgehammer to them was a good idea. I feel deprived. :P
Sarah says
STENCIL ME!
I’m currently in the middle of doing a birch tree stencil in our upstairs hallway. Lots of work but a bit therapeutic at the same time!
Alia says
STENCIL ME! I would love to add some pizzazz to the painted walls in our house.

Thanks and enjoy Toronto! It’s one of our favorite cities.

Jeanne H says
Stencil Me! I love Melanie Royals Stencils!
Emily says
STENCIL ME!
We refinished and reupholstered our dining room set last year, and though it was more work than I had anticipated it was a fun project. I’d like to do more with the upholstering part. . .I even have a little chair in the basement I’m ready to tackle! Just have to get past the Christmas busy-ness first.

STENCIL ME!
I always love crafting, so doing any of that is fun. But painting a room is always something I’m game to do.
Meredith says
STENCIL ME!
I painted and distressed a dresser to use as a buffet in my dining room. It took me way too long, but I’d like to try painting a smaller piece of furniture. I’ve been dying to stencil a wall in our dining room actually :)
Amy B says
STENCIL ME!
We’re new homeowners (been here a month!!!) I just finished painting my living room and I’d love to stencil a wall in our formal living space! I have a great accent wall! Thank you for all your awesome tips! They have really helped me be successful in my project endeavors!
Kelly Smith says
STENCIL ME!!!
I have done some stenciling in my front foyer that turned out fantastic! I love painting and working with beautiful colors. Now I have a 14 year old daughter who would love a more modern look to a bedroom! I love the orange and pink floral stenciling that you show in the pic and would love to try something like that for her (they are her favorite colors!!!)
Lauren Rushing says
STENCIL ME! I want to try to refinish a dresser of mine again…

maryam says
STENCIL ME!!
Cheri Bynum says
Stencil me!
Something I DIY’d that I would like to try again is building a desk. Something my husband and I did about 6 years ago, before ANA WHITE. Now that I know better I would love to try to build something again.
Alicia says
“Stencil Me!” We have made a bed, headboard, art, ottomans, curtains, doggie beds but I really want to stencil our dining room. This would be great!
Elizabeth says
STENCIL ME!
I can’t wait to try my hand at sewing again, I made laundry hamper liners a few months back (no pattern, just measured, crossed my fingers and went for it), which is the first sewing I’ve done since 7th grade Home Ec class 15 years ago- and amazingly they turned out great!
Betsy T says
STENCIL ME!
My boyfriend and I Ikea hacked our desk area and we love it! It would look great with some stencils.
Leslie says
STENCIL ME! I would love to put these babies to use in our dining room!
Chris says
STENCIL ME!
I need to paint either the dining room or the main bathroom. I can’t decide which. I can’t decide what color. I can’t decide anything. Arrgh!
Nicolle says
STENCIL ME! I am ready to build something. Maybe a table or new bookcases.
Lauren says
STENCIL ME!!! I upholstered my own headboard with tufts and all. It was so difficult but I’m dying to do another one!

Southern powder room is waiting for a face lift!
Jess says
STENCIL ME!
I’d love to stencil my duvet cover!

Stencil Me!
I am insanely proud of the job I did tiling our bathroom floor. I would LOVE to tile again (a backsplash). And maybe tackle flooring of another type.
Jamie Anderson says
Stencil Me! I want to make more curtains for my house (I WILL be making your fake roman shade!)

Christy Sallay says
STENCIL ME!
I am working on my knitting skills and I am going to be making my kiddos some winter hats this week.
Gina Hicks says
STENCIL ME! I tried to hang wallpaper, and failed miserably. It was really expensive, and didn’t come with adhesive or instructions. I went online, and read, and carefully followed all the instructions, but the wallpaper is actually taped in places because it kept rolling inward on me. It’s pretty from a distance, but if you get too close, you can see all the awful mistakes. I can do some stenciling! And I’ve had my eye on two different designs at Royal Design Studio! Thanks for the opportunity!
Kim Lombardi says
STENCIL ME!!
This is a very cool giveaway..thanks! I did a rug using RD’s large damask ribbon & I’d love to do another one, using better colors this time. The first one wasn’t as good as I was hoping for. I have an old house too, so the options for paint & stencil in here are limitless!
Dana Young says
Stencil Me! Last DIY project was making a Christmas wreath. I would love to stencil our downstairs powder room! Thanks for sharing tips with us!
Julie says
STENCIL ME! I haven’t tried it yet, but I would love to stencil a wall of our Master bedroom.
Teresa says
STENCIL ME!
I tried painting the back of my bookshelves a red color and completely hate it. It’s been months and I’m ready for the red to go! I’ve been thinking of stenciling them to add some visual interest… I’m thinking this is a sign.
Morgan says
STENCIL ME!
And I’m hoping to try my hand at building furniture again, after making a board and batten headboard. I’m hoping I’ll get gifted a Kreg Jig for Christmas to help with my furniture building aspirations.
Beth says
STENCIL ME! I free-handed a stencil on our kitchen backsplash, and it turned out okay, but it could totally use improvement. Fun giveaway!
