*** 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 have been planning to paint the house for a while, but it just doesn’t get done. It’s not a project I’m dying to take on, just one I’m dying to have completed.
Erin Sanderson says
Stencil Me!! I’ve been itching to do some furniture re-furb’ing… My vision actually includes a fab stencil back-ground for my hutch. This would be the perfect way to get the ball rolling!!
Sophia says
STENCIL ME! My last project was painting our Hemnes dresser from black to white and adding brass knobs. Definitely up for stenciling some walls!
katie says
STENCIL ME..I would love to redo another piece of old furniture!
Megan says
Stencil Me! The last project I completed was small but fun. I took a couple different sized bottles and wrapped them in thick twine. It added some nice texture to the mantle of our corner fireplace. I’m dying to try out a large scale stencil though. The master bedroom is just asking for it.
Mary S, says
STENCIL ME! I have wanted to try this, stencils have come a long way since the 80’s!
Erin Marmelstein says
STENCIL ME!
I am dying to do something creative on a large blank wall in our new kitchen.
Katie says
STENCIL ME!
I am getting anxious to make some more pillow covers and recover my dining chairs in some new fabric…again! : )
I have the perfect dining “nook” wall in my 1950’s rambler style house to use this on!!
Daniel says
STENCIL ME!
repainting a room again
Kirsten says
Stencil me! I have been wanting to stencil our guest bedroom. I have been framing lots of fabric lately and am looking forward to framing some in the guest room along with the stenciling.
Megan Van Leeuwen says
STENCIL ME! Well the DIY project I’m dying to try is not one I’ve tried before. I am soooooo in LOVE with the charcoal inspired stain job from that reader redesign that I am now desperately searching for a wood piece of furniture that needs staining…

Kelly says
STENCIL ME! We finished and installed new butcher block counters and an apron sink in our bungalow’s kitchen and I’d love to do this again in our new place. They came out beautifully, but of course we learned in the process and would do it slightly differently the second time around. Also, we had just brought home our newborn when we tackled the last project, so although we’d picked materials and designed together before the baby was born, my partner did most/all of the labor with the install while I recovered. I look forward to getting to be more hands on with the next install.
Liana says
STENCIL ME! I have a bunch of spray painting projects that have yet to be done…once I find the time.

Stencil Me! I’d love to stencil my entryway – it’s a 14 long hallway, and it’s need of a little excitement! I haven’t stenciled before, but I have painted stripes before, and loved the result!
Kelly says
Stencil Me!!!! Getting ready to tackle our largest DIY project to date. Our new home that is 4775 square feet. I finally get my own craft space and would LOVE to stencil the walls. Or maybe the guest bathroom. Or maybe the guest bedroom. Or maybe… Drat!! I don’t know where to start but I am sure I can find a place!! So many ideas and so little time.

Amanda Leather says
STENCIL ME!
I have had to cut down on a lot of expenses lately, we moved into a new house a year ago, so I’ve had to tackle a lot of DIY, but I really enjoy it! So far I have painted my brick fireplace white, transformed my ugly honey oak end tables into a painted and stained farmhouse table look, installed vinyl plank floors in the kitchen, made my own drapery panels, made a curtain rod out of copper piping that I spray painted black, the list goes on and I can’t wait to tackle more!
haley says
Stencil me!! I’m really getting in to painting furniture. Ive done a couple smaller pieces and am excited to do my dining room table in the next month or so.
Krissy says
STENCIL ME!
I (read: my boyfriend and I) recently replaced an ugly ceiling fan with a new-to-me-from-the-ReStore spray-painted chandelier. I have a second one for the hallway that I can’t wait to put up, to take down the plain and ineffective boob light hanging there.
tracy says

Well, after sewing a Prince Charming costume for my son this year, I’d like to try making a Cinderella dress for my niece.
