*** 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…
- BONUS QUESTION: … one DIY project that you’ve tackled once and are dying to try again. Is it a paint project? Something building related? Are you itching to take another whack at a crafting or sewing project?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Nov 14th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US (more on that here). This giveaway is open to The United States.

Stencil me! My next big DIY project is something I’ve never tried before (which is probably the reason I’m pretty nervous/excited/daunted) … to sew a duvet cover for our master bedroom! Eeeep! A stencil sure would come in handy to bring that whole room together (after almost 3 years living there…) ;)
CC says
Stencil me! I’d love to redo the dining room wall that we painted when we moved in–wrong color!
Megan says
Stencil me!
I stenciled a LOT as a kid in the early nineties. Mostly floor mats and canvas wall hangings, but also my headboard and a couple of side tables. Oh, and the bathroom wall. All with parents permission, of course. :) I can’t wait to try a stencil in the tall, long hallway of our house but its taking a while to build up the nerve and commitment for the project! A few smaller projects might be the way to bust that open. (oh boy, this did end up wordy!)
Michaela says
STENCIL ME!
We are just finishing up our bathroom reno and I am already dreaming of doing the guest bath. A stenciled wall that everyone sees as they walk down the hall sounds perfect.
