*** 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.

Doreen says
STENCIL ME! My daughter and I painted chevron stripes on an Ikea area rug. I was a bit nervous that after a day of painting that when we removed the painters tape, that the paint would have seeped through the rug. It was perfect! Now I’m ready to take on wall stripes on the ‘not so perfectly smooth’ walls in my dining room!

STENCIL ME!
We just finished painting the trim in our dining room, which was bare wood and loved how it brightened up the space. We really need to carry the bright white trim color into the rest of the house (which is all painted a pukey-brown off white color with an unpainted quarter-inch round)!

STENCIL ME! Indoor winter projects for this Chicagoan include stenciling a cool geometric pattern over my dark grey walls in the spare bedroom. The second half of the project is to board and batten the bottom half of the walls and finish with pops of color. Already have a neat yellow cedar chest just waiting to find its new home in this newly stenciled room!
Rachel says
STENCIL ME!
A few weeks ago, my husband and I painted the walls in our living room, dining room, and master bedroom. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun! <—first-timers! Our guest bedroom aka future nursery is in dire need of a paint job, so I'd love to get started on that soon, and I'd love to accent one of the walls with a beautiful stencil.

Catherine says
STENCIL ME!! I haven’t tried this before but I pinned a pair of hand stenciled curtains on my pinterest board. Made with store bought drop cloths they should be cheap and chic!
Laura S says
STENCIL ME – I want to repaint my master bedroom. My husband and I argued in Lowes about the right shade of green. Eventually, he gave in, but once I painted it, I realized that he was right. We should have gone with something with more blue and less yellow. Plus, adding a stencil would look nice!
Lisa says
Stencil me!

We may move back across the country again & I LOVE setting up a new home & all that entails- painting, finding awesome things on craigslist & good thrift stores, moving the furniture pieces we’ve had in our families forever around to make it feel like home.

Well, I tried painting a Craigslist Buffet and it didn’t turn out very well. It stares at me every day, saying “I need a repaint!” I’ve just been lazy, but it is something on my list of things to do.

I recovered a thrift store lamp shade with a tangerine colored t-shirt and then covered the whole thing with rosettes I made out of leftover tangerine colored crepe streamers and turquoise colored crepe streamers. The colors matched my tween daughters bedroom perfectly! I’d love to try it with another lampshade, but maybe use something else like peacock feathers and costume jewelry.
Amber W says
STENCIL ME! I painted the trim work on the inside of our front door (from the tip in your book!) and I loved it so much. Can’t wait to do a couple more doors.

My husband and I have a tiny house (less than 1000 sq feet)and are always trying to make the common areas work better for us. We’ve finally found the perfect paint color for the living room – which we’ve painted three times. However, I would love to use a stencil on one wall of our dining room. We’ve painted the dining room twice, and I really think a stencil with differentiate the space from the living room and make it extra lovely!
Woo hoo!

Jennifer Smith says
Stencil Me! I would love to stencil a fun pattern in our laundry room. It is right off of our garage and has no windows. So, it’s really dark. I’d love to brighten it up
