*** 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 loved doing our bamboo countertop for the basement kitchenette. I’m definitely ready to tackle another project like that soon… unfortunately I’ll be working on the basement ceiling instead. Unless I win in which case I have an awesome stencil project already in mind!
Teresa A says
STENCIL ME!!!! Please, stencil me. What gorgeous patterns. I wallpapered my half bath with my Mom. She did most of the work. The pink stecil reminds me of the pattern of the wallpaper. Great inspiration to tackle my daughter’s bedroom.

Stencil me!
Meghann says
STENCIL ME! I stenciled a border in my bedroom when I was in middle school, and painted over and re-did it in college. Now my husband and I are expecting our first baby and I’d love to do a fun accent wall – or maybe the closet – in the nursery-to-be.
Kathy says
STENCIL ME! I would love to try stencilling an old dresser that is hiding in my closet.
Alison says
STENCIL ME! I haven’t ever stenciled, but when I was about 16 I repainted my room with some serious vertical stripes. It was a little out of control and I’d love to try a toned down version of my accent wall :)
julia says
Stencil me!
Even though the 1st time was a success, I stripped an old nightstand and re-stained it. It was tough but I bet I could do it better the 2nd time.
Abby says
STENCIL ME! The hubs and I just bought our first house in June, and we are definitely beginners in DIY home improvement, but have lots of ideas! I am really excited about our newly painted living room, dining room, and kitchen – can’t wait to tackle the den and foyer to tie the whole first floor together. I’m headed to IKEA this weekend to get some frames for a black and white frame wall in the dining room – I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Molly says
Stencil Me!
I think the project I would like to try again would be adding architectural detail to our builder basic house…we already added corbels(that we built). Who knows what might be next!
Chrissie says
Stencil me!
My husband and I made a bench from Ana White’s plans & I would love to do that again!
Mary Lou says
STENCIL ME!
The one DIY project that I am really proud of and that I can’t wait to try again is refinishing my childhood dresser. I had to strip down the layers and layers of paint then prime, sand, paint, and seal. I also boiled the hardware in water to remove the layers of paint. They came out being this beautiful brassy shinny color. Can’t wait to try this again!
Emily P says
Stencil Me!
I know it’s a bit boring, but I’m just feeling the itch to start painting walls again. We did half of them before we moved in, and then haven’t touched the rest of the house since then.
Sarah Snell says
Stencil me!!
I love to collage and would love to tackle a picture collage along the staircase in our home. I also want to try upholstering a headboard even though I’ve only tried chairs before.

STENCIL ME!
We remodeled our downstairs full bath 2 years ago and now I have my eye on our upstairs full bathroom – I just can’t decide what I want to do with it! Maybe I should do an awesome stenciled wall?!?
jeanie says
Stencil Me!!!!!
I’m dying to stencil on gray painted accent wall w/ clear poly for a super subtle effect. It would be so super,uber cool, I hope.
Jana says
STENCIL ME!
I did my first spray painting project recently by spraying a couple of shiny gold and maroon touch lamps an artichoke green color. Such an easy way to change an item that feels blah!
Erin says
STENCIL ME!
I haven’t tried any stencil projects as of late and would love to give it a try. Thanks!
Lauren says
STENCIL ME!!
I recently decided to do “nature art” for each season by finding something in nature that reminds me of that season and figuring out a crafty way to get the image onto canvas (so far I’ve only used spray paint). Can’t wait to get all four seasons done and up on the wall!
erica says
STENCIL ME! I just picked up some gold spray paint yesterday to get festive!

STENCIL ME! My husband and I have DIY’d the desk in our office (thanks to the great inspiration here at YHL). Now i have a LONG list of built-ins we need to get started!
Bethany says
STENCIL ME! Last year I totally revamped an old hutch and turned it into a bar cabinet. The doors and sides had recessed panels, so I used textured wallpaper in the recesses to give it a great moroccan pattern. Then the super dark walnut color went bright yellow and I put a turquoise plexiglass top on it so it would look like glass (but not break like glass!)… I would love to do another furniture project, maybe with stencils this time!
Whitney says
STENCIL ME! I wish we had a house of our own so I could go crazy… however we don’t… yet. I can’t wait to make some homemade Christmas gifts and ornaments! I would also love to make another headboard (last time we made it from plywood… then I saw the page in your book about the canvas stretcher-amazing! That would have saved a lot of scuffed paint from me struggling with a heavy headboard by myself!)
Gillian @ GrowingUpGillian says
STENCIL ME! Over the summer we walled-in one of our bathroom doors. I’m dying to do the same in our bedroom to add a little wall space and one less pointless doorway.
beth says
stencil me! my husband and i put in new tile throughout our previous house and would love to put some in our new house.
Teresa B says
STENCIL ME! I have made some DIY artwork for the house and can’t wait to move on to bigger and better DIY projects! We need to paint out entire house (still builder’s paint) and stenciling would be the perfect personal touch :)
Alicia says
STENCIL ME! Two summers ago I removed, stripped and spray painted all of the door hardware in our house. Now I am just itching to do the front door hardware.
ashley says
STENCIL ME! We just bought a house, so my list is long. My first DIY is our laundry room. Luckily it’s our only unfinished room in the house so I have a blanket canvas to work with :)
