*** 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.

STENCIL ME!
I’ve made curtains before and have purchased the fabric but haven’t forced myself to get started on a set for the dining room. Maybe tonight will be the night…
Kara says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve been trying to muster up the nerve to stencil an awkward blank wall in my apartment, but I’ve been worried about how it would turn out. The “stencil Success Kit” could make my dreams of a stenciled wall come true!
Kim A says
STENCIL ME!!! I loved the stencil project in your book! Now that is has finally cooled down some, I have my list:
1. Paint front door
2. Repaint (possibly stencil, if I win) master bedroom walls
3. Pull up carpet in master bedroom and put down laminate floors.
Becky says
STENCIL ME!
Back when I was in high school, my mom and I together used to crochet baby blankets for each of my cousins as they had their little ones. Now that I’m pregnant, I’d like dust off those skills and make some things for my own little one!
stephanie says
stencil me!
this would be my first DIY project!
Lisa says
Stencil me!!!!! Those stencils are amazing!
Your blog has so inspired me to DIY. I recently upholstered a trash picked coffee table. Some day I’ll put pics on my blog and link it. The project I want to tackle next is to get back to some sewing. I made curtains for my sons room and want to next see my own floor pouf. I also want to sew some additional bedding for my son (a crib skirt, a flannel sheet for winter, etc). Gotta do it!
Amy C says
STENCIL ME! I’ve picked up a few pieces of well-loved (code for rough-looking) furniture and I’m itching to repaint them and make them beautiful. I’ve seen several examples of stenciled furniture refurbs that are great inspiration.
Jane C. says
STENCIL ME! I made some pillows when I first got my sewing machine and they are alright but I know I could do better now.
Susan says
Stencil me! I want to try to paint a piece of laminate furniture. Husband says it can’t be done, but thanks to the internet and decor blogs, it can be done if you follow the right steps. It’s not like it’s a main piece of furniture, just a side table!
Tiffany says
Stencil me! When I wallpapered an old dresser and converted it into a tv stand. I’m itching to wallpaper something again
Sadaf says
STENCIL ME!!!
We just bought our first house and before we move in we’re painting all the bedrooms AND putting in hardwood floors ourselves! We might have bitten off more than we can chew but I also want to stencil our guest bathroom, assuming I’m still up for it ;)
Bobbi in KY says
STENCIL ME!
A project that I’d like to repeat is adding wainscote (sp?) to a room, like we did in our large dining room. Although the last time we actually used beadboard for traditional wainscote, I would like to do a “faux” the next time with just a different paint color and some molding for the chair rail and other molding “squares” below for the illusion of panels.
Amanda R. says
STENCIL ME!
I have a brand new rancher just begging for some DIY!!!
Michelle W. says
STENCIL ME!! I recently built myself a butlers pantry out of reclaimed cabinets, much help from yhl. Anyway I just can’t get enough! Wondering where else I can put them and how many of them, lol. Thanks for your constant inspiration!
Ashley says
STENCIL ME! We’ve repainted our entire house and now I’m ready to finish by doing something bold in the bathroom :) Maybe stencil ceiling?
Renee says
STENCIL ME!
I’m now tackling building a shelving system. I know it sounds simple, but my last attempt was … um… well… you know. Armed with some additional tools (like a level), my pantry is being overhauled. Wish me luck!
Kara says
STENCIL ME! I stained and painted an unfinished dresser and it looks great. I would love to do another stain project.
Kathryn says
STENCIL ME! I am finally at the stage with my three girls where I can try to tackle some more DIY projects. The main ones: organization and wall painting…it looks like I have three girls and we are here all the time homeschooling! :) Plus, I finally want to get some photos hung! Like your gallery wall! God Bless!
Maria says
Stencil me!!! I want to paint my daughters bathroom and a stencil would look adorable! I’ve never painted with a stencil, but I’m up for a challenge.
Shannon Scherrer says
Stencil me!!! My husband recently painted an old piece of my Nan Nan’s furniture! It gave it a whole new face and life.
Laura says
STENCIL ME!
I have a couple of walls I keep eye to stencil but it’s hard to make the jump. This would do it for me!!
Jackie says
STENCIL ME! i’d love to redo a painted furniture project.
darlene mackamul says
STENCIL ME. I haven’t stenciled anything. This will give me the incentive to try. Thanks
Erin says
Stencil Me!!
I couple years ago, my husband and I came across a solid oak china cabinet for $13 at a thrift store. We repainted it and it looked great, but this was pre-YHL days for me, and I didn’t think of sanding or priming. I just bought a wooden side table and am dying to paint it the RIGHT way!
Amelia says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve done some more fun and adventurous DIYs, but right now I am itching to paint our new house where the previous owners painted every room beige…barf!
LauraBC says
STENCIL ME Pretty Please!
We painted every room in our house except for the kitchen when we moved in 2 years ago. Now our boys’ room and our masterbath are in need of a tune up.
BUT the DIY project I’m most excited to tackle again is tiling (especially a small tile backsplash) it was so fun and loved the dramatic results
Melanie says
STENCIL ME!
Sewing. Pillow. Cases. I could sew a million pillow cases. So simple, but they make me so happy! :-)
Cat S says
Stencil me, please! I have reupholstering projects stacking up in my basement, but painting a wall with stencils would be more fun.
Mindie Felcher says
STENCIL ME!
We are currently renovating our new home – we bought a foreclosure so I am not able to do all the DIY items I would normally tackle. I can’t wait to get in the space and design some new window treatments for my munchkins…they will be the finishing touches to their new rooms!
Kassia says
STENCIL ME!!!
I have repainted some furniture pieces in the last few months and I want to start on my bedroom furniture next!
Emily says
STENCIL ME! I have been working on curtains… my first sewing project in years but I would like to do more!
Ashley W says
I’ve been crafting window treatments and artwork. I’ve got plans for a stenciled wall in the entry to put all of the crafted items.
Katie says
STENCIL ME!
I have dreams of painting the hutch in our living room a deep bright plum. I can invision it and it is awesome!
Becky says
Stencil me, I am ready to stencil some furniture !!!!!
Nicholin says
“STENCIL ME!”
I’ll be tackling the job of sanding down the horrible job the previous owner did of texturing the walls in the living room, and I’ll be putting up venetian plaster on one wall to lead into the hall in which I’ve done the same (sanding and venetian plaster). It’s a monster room, so I’m not sure how I’ll go about getting it done myself, but I can’t wait to rescue the crown moulding. *smile*
Julie S says
STENCIL ME!
My latest DIY is painting our master bedroom. I think the perfect thing to finish it off is stenciling!!
Mary Hall says
STENCIL ME!
My DIY Project List includes redoing my new “guest” room. See, my son (my baby!) is leaving for the Air Force’s Basic Military Training the first part of December to serve six years (minimum!), so I plan on turning his former teen hang-out into a sweet guest room (for when he or others visit). We’re talking new paint, window treatments, bedding, maybe some new furniture, the whole thing. I’m hoping throwing myself into a DIY Project will help take some of the bite off of having my son gone. Keep your fingers crossed.
Kendra says
STENCIL ME!
I need to get on some no sew curtains for our house. But, a stenciled guest bedroom would be amazing!!!
Julia says
STENCIL ME!
My latest DIY is putting together a gallery wall!
Cathy says
STENCIL ME! I painted our girls dresser years ago. I am now ready to give it a fresh look with a new color. Would absolutely love to do a stencil on it! (But I would also love to stencil an accent wall in our living room.) :-)
Kate says
STENCIL ME!
I recently used frost etching paint to paint some frosted stripes on some glass candle holders. I just bought a bunch more to try out my holiday stencils on. How ironic!
Julie says
STENCIL ME! I just screwed up a paint job on some votives, but I’m major determined to try again! I’m not an expert when it comes to acrylic paint. It should be easy, but not so much for me.
Rachel Ochoa says
Stencil Me! I’m dying for someone else I know to have a baby so I can make another blanket, there are some improvements I’d like to make!!
renee says
STENCIL ME! I like to paint, but haven’t tried stenciling. Would love to do stenciling in my powder room. I have a funky idea in mind… want to go alittle wild!
Emily K says
STENCIL ME!
My husband and I have been debating applying wallpaper to the wall our bed is against in our master bedroom. We are concerned that it may go out of style too quickly. This is the perfect solution! You can just paint over it! So much easier than the dreaded wallpaper removal.
Adrienne B says
STENCIL ME!
Looking to paint some furniture for the new baby’s room. Well, maybe instruct my husband on how to paint it! :)
Heather says
STENCIL ME! My most recent DIY project was transforming an old antique frame into a pretty chalkboard for behind our bar. It was fun, but I do know of a certain wall that could use some stencil love!
Amy says
STENCIL ME! I stencil my nephew’s baby room a few years ago & I’ve been wanting to stencil a curved wall in my own living room for years. This could be the kick I finally need!
Marisa Fava says
STENCIL ME! I loved the way a custom decal I created for my son’s nursery turned out – I traced and cut out different size fish and then HAND DREW sea grass that I cut out while 8 months preggers and watching the Oscars (while also coming *this close* to giving myself some sort of scissors-related hand injury from the intricate cutting). I don’t know if I could pull it off again though … something about the nesting mode of pregnancy helped fuel my creativity. I last attempted ‘fun with decals’ this past weekend by lining the insides of our nightstand drawers with patterned square decals I bought at Target – kind of looks like a quilt.
Michelle says
STENCIL ME!
My husband and I built our bathroom vanity earlier this year and I stenciled the top of it. Now I cant wait to stencil our front entry way!
