*** 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.

Sheryl Danner says
STENCIL ME! I have been sewing, stenciling, and antiquing as long as I can remember. One of the projects I love is my butter yellow sunroom, which is a beautiful brick on the floor and bottom part of the walls, and the room is surrounded by windows highlighting our backyard. I stenciled a variety of bird houses and colorful birds, my most favorite being hummingbirds, around the top of the walls above the windows. This design is brought full circle when the hummers are clammoring for the 3 feeders on the outside of the windows during summer and fall! It was a fun and rewarding project and I still receive many compliments on it 12 years later. Most of my projects now center around finding wonderful furniture that I can give new personalities through various paint techniques for my antique booths.
Ris says
STENCIL ME! I’m learning to sew, and itching to get better so I can make something more complicated than big square curtains!
Charisse Andrews says
Stencil Me! I would use stencils to be daring in a kinda different way. Daring is my calling!
Molly says
STENCIL ME! A couple of years ago my friend taught me how to make pillow cases on her sewing machine. I made a few awesome and colorful cases out of chenille fabric I got at a going out of business sale at a local craft store. I still have a bag full of fabric left, and would love to get my own sewing machine so I can finish the project!
Marie W says
“STENCIL ME!”
I am dying to paint something with the Annie Sloan Chalk paint I bought about two weeks ago. Trying to squeeze in time to try it out – if all goes well, I want to paint a ton of stuff, including my dining room table, dining room hutch, a dresser and table in my bedroom…. =) My current plan is to start with a picture frame I bought at a flea market last weekend I’ll post pics when it’s done. If you guys get a chance, the flea markets in Harpers Ferry, WV are awesome! They even have an indoor one that’s open year round!
Amy M says
STENCIL ME!!! i stenciled a birch tree forest on one wall in our guest bedroom and i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. had never stenciled before…it was a bit time consuming, but the result was totally worth it. i’d like to do a wall in my baby girl’s room…it’s a great and CHEAP alternative to wallpaper…wallpaper without the committment. :0)
Michelle says
STENCIL ME!
I need to handle the nonexistent wall art situation!
Nicole says
Stencil me!
My last DIY project was making an Anthropologie-inspired ruffled lamp shade, and now I’m itching to make some fabric-covered shades in our bedroom. But mostly I really want to makeover our bathrooms and was going to stencil the walls so I need these!
Aubrey says
STENCIL ME!
I tried my hand at some DIY canvas art and have been dying to redo it with something different – a stencil would be PERFECT!
Lara says
STENCIL ME! My fav DIY was a mirrored mosasic table top that I completed this spring on a small wooden swivel top card table I found in the trash – looks great now!

Ginny Ellis says
Stencil me!
I made a great wreath a few years ago, but now our new house has double front doors. I need to get crafty again and make two new ones for this holiday!
Mercedes says
STENCIL ME!
I successfully saved an old bookcase with ASCP and can’t wait to get started on a table.
Mary says
STENCIL ME!
My last big DIY project that I would do again (note, the “do again”) would be flooring. Over the summer I installed new peel and stick tile in our front hallway. I am dying to put new flooring in our kitchen and get rid of our super ugly, stained linoleum.
Nikki says
STENCIL ME! I’ve painted the living room three colors (all with mostly the same furnishings). It’s always a nice change – and the third color is much more what I had in mind than the first one!
Brooke says
STENCIL ME!
I made all of my own Christmas ornaments last year, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Looking forward to crafting it up again this season!

STENCIL ME!
I haven’t done it before, but I’m hoping to refinish/paint a dresser once we find the perfect one to save from craigslist.
Allyson says
Stencil Me! We are in the process of painting beds for the nursery in anticipation of our first little one. We also desperately need to repaint all the builder painted trim and doors in our house. I’d love to stencil a focal wall in our bedroom or the guest bath in our house.
Jen says
stencil me! I refinished my desk and would love to refinish my bedside tables.
Krista says
STENCIL ME! Our house is DIY in progress, the projects never end! Or they never end because it takes us forever to finish….
Shanna says
Stencil Me! My husband and I are working on defeating the big beige box we live in. The hall bath has been done, the master bedroom is on deck, to be followed by the dining room and living room. The central hallway could use some tone on tone love in the form of a graphic stencil. Royal actually has my two top favorites right now… the Lisboa Tile and the Moroccan Key Stencil.
Danette S says
STENCIL ME! My next projects are wreath decorating and sweater pillows. For me, sewing is easier than getting my bows even. Wish me luck!

STENCIL ME!!
I have never used a stencil before and I have LOVED the projects that you guys have completed with stencils! I would love the challenge ;O)
Stevie says
Stencil me please! :)
I tried stenciling once, and it was an utter failure. I used the wrong paint and took too long…the paint popped right back off the wall, leaving me with a half-stenciled mess, haha! I’d love to try again, but right now I rent. :( So my DIY project I’d love to redo in the meantime would be making a terrarium. The one I made before is ok, but not stellar. :)
Teresa says
STENCIL ME!
I’m going to remodel the kids bathroom sometime this winter and this stencil post gives me so many ideas for finishing the walls.

I actually started looking at stencils last week to try a project in the master bedroom. This would be a great opportunity to start with the right tools!
About a year ago I was sewing a lot…and not so much now. I’d love to try my hand at a quilt!
Stacey says
STENCIL ME!!
Adrienne says
STENCIL ME!
I used to stencil many many years ago but had stopped because the stencils seemed dated. In the last 5 years the options have been really growing. I received your book in the mail the other day and was inspired to get my stencil back on.

STENCIL ME! I recently redid a dresser and turned it into a TV stand. It turned out really well and didn’t take as long as I expected. I also learned that poly is a beautiful thing. :) So I wouldn’t mind trying something similar again.

STENCIL ME!!!!!
I have just bought a foreclosure home and am working my fingers to the bone trying to get it ready to move in and updated with “modern cottage” as I like to call it. I am in the process of painting my kitchen cabinets right now and I could not have done it without your tips!!!!!
