*** 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.

BETSY TUBANDT says
STENCIL ME. Ombre painting a dresser!
Heather says
STENCIL ME!!!! This is so ironic, I had just clicked on their link on your sidebar a few days ago while searching around for some inspiration for my three-year-olds big girl room that we are tackling next month. I love the moroccan trellis stencil and the folk flower stencil!
As for a DIY that I’d love to try again – that would have to be my girl’s picnic table that I built from Ana White’s plans. I would love to get back outside and working on a swing for my girls as soon as the weather is nice in the spring.
Miranda says
STENCIL ME!
I’d like to get back into cross-stitching now that my son is getting old enough to not need constant (sorta) monitoring.
Holly says
STENCIL ME!!!!
I have an entire pinterest board dedicated to my bathroom that I’m DYING to redo! I would love to add a stencil to the main wall!

Jennifer Sootkoos says
STENCIL ME!
I haven’t tackled any stenciling projects yet but I just saw the ones in your book and I’m dying to try one of them out. This prize would put me a step in the right direction!
Anna says
STENCIL ME!
This isn’t a repeat project, but I’ve been wanting to try making some drop cloth curtains for our living room. Maybe some stenciled curtains are in order?
Jessie says
STENCIL ME!
A DIY project that I’ve tackled once and am dying to try again is painting furniture. I filled it the problem areas, I sanded it down, cleaned, primed it, painted it. again and again (LOL)
I would live to try this, but on a larger scale – DINING ROOM table and chairs. but i think I’ll go with a dark walnut stain instead of paint.
Bethany says
STENCIL ME!
The project I want to attempt again is actually a stenciling project so this is perfect timing. My first stencil project was the inside of my VERY small pantry. I was afraid to do anything bigger for fear it would be an epic failure….however, it turned out awesome and is one of my very favorite projects ever. I would love to do a really cool stencil in my office to finish it off.
Stacey says
STENCIL ME!!
Years ago I made a blanket for a friend going away to college. I sewed the silky type trim around it and stitched her name into it. I haven’t touched a sewing machine in years and would love to try again!
Denise Pedersen says
STENCIL ME!!!
Jackie Kelly says
STENCIL ME! I have about three rooms I am attempting to DIY. It would be great to add some flair with a great stencil! Thanks!

Stencil Me! I’ve left the master bedroom for last and it is TIME to DIY it up! Stenciling the one big wall is something I’ve been toying with!
Azar says
STENCIL ME! I’d love to make some more pillow covers…I even have pillow forms hanging out in my laundry closet!
Heather @ What Does She Do All Day? says
STENCIL ME! I tried to ombre paint one wall in my half bathroom several years ago and it turned out horrible! I ended up just painting the room solid and adding accent squares in the darker color. The room is bright (yellow) and I’m getting a wee bit sick of it, so I’m hatching up a plan to repaint it, paint the vanity, replace the fixtures and mirror and just tone it down a bit!
Emily says
STENCIL ME! I just started an etsy shop that features block printed and screen printed pillows (hand made) but I REALLY want to do a feature wall in my tiny boston apartment using one of these beautiful scencils! HOpe I win!
Sarah R says
Stencil Me!!
I used a geometric stencil as a focal wall in my bedroom that I’m still in love with. Next up I want to try a stencil design on my dining room table.
Safe travels YHL! See you in DC :)

STENCIL ME! Decorating my office – I had a great start in our last apartment then baby came and it became the nursery. Now in our new place we have a dedicated room but 10 months later still have boxes in it. Ughhh!
Kathy says
STENCIL ME! I have been procrastinating painting the rooms in my house. I know what a huge impact it will make, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I need to get on that!
Michelle (aka mybelle101) says
STENCIL ME!! I refinished an old hand-me-down table previously, and am looking to do the same to update my childhood dresser…and stencils would be perfect for the job!

A new gallery wall. I need to change it, update it, new frame colors, etc…
Kerri says
STENCIL ME!
I DIYed my wedding shoes by adding glitter to the heel. I used frog tape and Saran Wrap to cover up the rest of the shoe, then used two coats of spray adhesive and glitter, followed by an acrylic sealant. Of course, I promptly ruined the shoes by getting some car grease on them and had to overnight new ones the day before the wedding :( but I definitely plan on doing it again!
grace adkins says
STENCIL ME! I would love to make some more roman shades/ also cover more lamp shades

Stencil me. I painted a chevron wall with the wrong colors and am now dying to redo it!

Holly says
STENCIL ME!
Building more furniture!
Lynn says
STENCIL ME!
I am a total DIY novice. But we recently gutted and renovated a Jack & Jill bathroom and I was hoping to do something fun for the walls. I was considering wallpaper but I think stenciling them would be a fun way to learn something new and have it look unique as well.
Kathryn says
STENCIL ME!
Definitely want to find something that needs spray painting. I’ve got a can of ORB burning a hole in my pocket.
Sidenote: my bff and I can’t wait to see you both in Dallas on Saturday! :)
