*** 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!
Spraypainting more old frames fun bright colors.
Luis says
Stencil Me! Let’s be realistic. My wife wants stenciling done, she chooses, points, and I am the one who will do it. So this little prize would actually be a big help four our entrance. Whatever the lady wants…
Brenda says
Stencil Me!I need to repaint my hallway…my kiddos seem to think they need to touch it whenever they walk through!
Kelly Jones says
STENCIL ME! I have nine drop cloths I need to show some stencil love and make into fabulous curtains!
Brandi says
“STENCIL ME!”
We want to Re-do our master bedroom. We originally painted it when we moved in (1.5yrs ago)…and now it looks sad. I’m thinking some wall paper or a stencil would be just the ticket!
Betsy says
STENCIL ME!
I basically demo’d & rebuilt the entire inside of my last house, and now that I’m temporarily living with family members, I’m itching to do any DIY at all! I’m actually looking forward to helping my mom repaint her kitchen, ugly oak cabinets & all!
Karen Carapezzi says
Stencil Me!
Need to update my Master Bedroom – but can never stop at one room – rest of house will get updates as well!
Olivia says
Stencil me!
I painted my guest room pink to create an uplifing vibe but it’s a little more bubblegum than Mediterranean. Trying again this weekend!
Ashley says
STENCIL ME!
I am the queen of spray painting anything and everything. My favorite activity is trolling thrift shops for interesting shaped frames and small furniture to give a face lift.
Sarah says
STENCIL ME!
I really want to DIY an upholstered headboard but it probably won’t happen anytime soon.
ALEXANDRA says
Stencil Me!…I bought some vintage kitchen chairs off craigslist and my plan is to strip off the old ugly paint and repaint them. Very excited to see how they turn out!
Amanda says
STENCIL ME!
I painted every countertop in our house to hide the hideous pattern. They came out beautifully and have lasted years. It was so therapeutic…or maybe I was just getting a buzz off the bonding primer!
Jessica M says
STENCIL ME! The DIY projects I can’t wait to get back into involve my sewing machine! I just had a baby and then had to have my gallbladder removed but now that my energy is returning, I’m dying to get back to my machine and sew, sew, sew!!! I have so much I want to do, especially with Christmas coming up!
I’ve never stenciled anything this big before but if I win, I have ideas for the master bedroom in the new house we just bought!
Kim says
Stencil Me!
I made some cute pom poms for a baby shower recently and can’t wait to make some more to decorate my nursery. So easy!
Ashley says
Stencil Me!!!
I would love to try my hand again at some Paper Mache. Last attempt was a no go! So I need to try it again.
Jen Bishop says
Stencil me. Painting furniture. Love giving something a new look.
Fay says
Stencil Me!
We stenciled an accent wall (with Royal Design Studio’s stencil) in our nursery, and just love it. The rest of the room is really simple so it is perfect! Can’t wait to do another one somewhere.
Amber says
Stencil me!DIY- Holiday decor
Molly says
STENCIL ME!
Sara says
STENCIL ME! I would love to do another set of built-ins. We did bookshelves when we first moved in and I have about three other built-in projects on the list that I would love to get to!
Sarah Anne says
STENCIL ME!!
Last year did a ton of DIY Christmas decorations and I am SOOOO excited about doing even more this year!
Kim S says
STENCIL ME! Believe or not, I tried stenciling our guest bathroom and didn’t have much (ok, ANY) luck. However, that was with a homemade stencil and no Young House Love expertise to help me along, so I’d be willing to give it another go…although maybe on a smaller scale this time. I loved the stenciled desk you guys did in your book, so maybe that would be a good starting point!
Kelly F. says
STENCIL ME!
I am dying to stencil a wall in my hall.
Ami says
STENCIL ME!
My favorite DIY project is spray painting. It’s amazing what a cheap can of spray paint can do.
Julia says
Stencil Me!
I’m planning a piece of DIY art to put up in my bedroom – a monochromatic union jack!
Katie Lewis says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve tried some DIY canvas art and I’d really like to try some again with some painter’s tape!
Danielle M says
STENCIL ME!! I’ve never stenciled but we did DIY decals as our kitchen backsplash. I hate our downstairs bathroom and would love to stencil it!
KellyJo says
stencil me! i made my first no-sew curtains for our bathroom this weekend! walking into joann for the first time in my life was overwhelming – but my 60% off coupon made it worth it. thanks for your great tips!
Cinny says
STENCIL ME!
My first, big girl do-it-yourself project (outside of painting a bedroom, etc.) was a quilt I made for my boyfriend’s Queen Size bed. I had so much fun shopping for fabric. Ultimately I went with a gold and black (Pittsburg Steelers!) color theme. It doesn’t really match anything in the room though.
Since I’m hoping to move in soon, it’s time for another quilt…one that actually matches something! :)
Julia says
Stencil me! I have a dining set that desperately needs refinishing. I’m hoping to have my muse give me something brilliant and unusual before I start though…
Crystal C. says
STENCIL ME!
My first DIY project was tiling my former master bath floor with slate tiles. In my current house I sanded my oak colored kitchen cabinets and put dark brown gel stain then varnished them. Would love to try stenciling a wall next!
beth says
STENCIL ME! need those stencils for master bedroom makeover and craft room. Right now I am into the chain syles! Haha!
Nothing weird, I am just not into chevrons or damask anymore.
Becka says
STENCIL ME, please!
Cindy says
STENCIL ME!
I just painted my first artwork. It was so much fun to work with acrylics, and they now hang in my bedroom. I’m anxious to paint again.
JulieH says
STENCIL ME!
Sarah says
STENCIL ME! My next DIY is hopefully painting my front door green, and putting the yarn wreath I just made on it for the holidays!
nicole mason says
Stencil Me! I’m ready to paint the family room again…this may or may not be the third time.
Brittany P says
STENCIL ME!
I loved making both my ceiling light covers and would love to do one again, but I don’t want them all over the house. Guess I just need a second home. ;)
Christinak says
Stencil Me!
I’m accepted the color I chose for our living room just isn’t the one, so we are starting over again. I would love to tackle some throw pillow covers as well!
Kayleigh says
STENCIL ME! I am really needing to make some curtains. We have 4 sliding doors in our home and they could all use a little love.
Amber says
Stencil me… the master bedroom is calling!
Vicki says
STENCIL ME!
I’d definitely like a do-over on the color I chose for the basement. My husband likes it though, so repainting the large space has been a tough sell. I’d also repaint our bedroom and bathroom because I’m tired of he color and it has only been 3 years.
Molly B says
“STENCIL ME!” I have wanted to stencil our master bedroom wall for a long time!
Jess says
Stencil Me!!
My hubs & I just repainted a little side table & I’m not too crazy about the color (black) so I think we’re going to paint it some bright funky color… I just can’t decide: teal, red or yellow? Orange? Lime green? Neon pink? Our house has just about zero color so anything could work…!
Sandra says
“STENCIL ME”
I need to make some curtains for my kitchen, maybe I’ll try a faux roman shade!
Kate C says
Stencil me! I love refinishing furniture! I wish I had all the time in the world to hang out on the back porch or garage with a lovely piece of old wood and some stain. Maybe when the baby is older…
Michaelann says
STENCIL ME!
our 50’s house is full of projects- hopefully none of which we will have to repeat!
kelly says
STENCIL ME! I need to stencil my basement floor!
Dorothee says
STENCIL ME! I had re-painted my previous apartment, and would love to spruce up the new rental we have. Gosh! This place needs fresh painting!
jessica says
STENCIL ME!
I can’t wait to paint another bed frame. I painted our master bed frame and it made a world of difference. I have a free (!) bed frame just waiting for a fresh coat for our guest room.
