*** 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.

I used your no-sew curtain method for our living room and they turned out great…now I’m anxious to make two sets of curtains for our upstairs bedrooms
Laurie says
STENCIL ME!! Unfortunately, I have started many DIY projects that have yet to be completed—a few would be enhanced with stenciling. So let’s get with it!
Laura smith says
STENCIL ME!
I loved learning electricity, I changed out a thermostat in my new (way old) house. I’ve never stenciled, but this little place could use that kind of personality.
echo says
STENCIL ME!

STENCIL ME!
We have a new old home that needs a LOT of love. I want to finish staining the deck and doing it up with some pretty outdoor furniture.
Denise says
Stencil me! I am refinishing a table right now, which is super fun! I am sanding it down by hand which is an arduous process but a good work out so I don’t mind.
Hey I wanted to share with you guys – I got to stay at the Jefferson Hotel last night… OMYGOSHAMAZING!!! I knew it was an incredible place, but holy cow, I don’t think I have ever seen a place like it! Not to mention I will probably never in my life be able to stay somewhere like that again, hah! (I was interviewing at VCU, and they footed the bill). I loved the alligators everywhere.
Jessica says
STENCIL ME! our blah wall bedroom needs some pazazz!!
Heather @ Real Cheap Housewives of Texas says

In our last home we painted our fireplace a gorgeous, glossy white. I’m dying to do it again!
Maria-Jade says

davonne says
STENCIL ME!
We just finished sanding and painting a thrifted dresser that appears to be handmade. we added new knobs and moved it in today. I love it!
Jennifer says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve never stenciled before, but I’ve painted freehand designs and murals in almost every room in our house and I’m ready to tackle it again in my poor, neglected dining room. After 13 years of living with old hand-me-down rickety furniture that wasn’t fit to be seen (or sat in) I finally got a new set. We’re putting in hardwood floor and board and batten trim ourselves, and I’m making curtains. All hopefully done before Christmas…which I’m hosting this year. And of course on top of all that I get to paint the walls, which I am so looking forward to doing. But I’m not excited that freehand painting takes me forever, so stenciling has been something I’ve been looking into. Fun AND fast.
Natalie says
“STENCIL ME”
I have GOT to repaint our living room, stat! I’ve been trying to pick a paint color to cover our “almond paste” (blah) walls and currently have SEVEN different swatches on our walls. Not cute.
Ann Marie says
STENCIL ME!!!
I have only stained once – when redoing our dining table top. I’m itching to try it again!
Kandy says
Stencil me!
I love to paint landscapes with oils. Want to paint something new for my home. Also have several furniture pieces that I want to paint and make part of my home.
Love your new book!
Tania says
STENCIL ME!
(Please! :) )
I love creating DIY art- my last one was glitter chevron and the next will be a water color of some kind :)
Alisha says
STENCIL ME!!
I can’t wait to paint the rest of my mismatched hand-me-down wooden chair bright turquoise (or other fun shades) after doing so with a scavenged IKEA chair I rescued from a Chicago back alley years ago. Every time I look at that charming little blue chair, I think about how it was once on it’s way to the garbage dump–but now it’s a loved member of my collection of furniture friends!
Jayne says
Stencil ME!
Hoping to update a dollhouse myself!
Paula M. says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve loved their designs ever since seeing them on the My Marrakech blog, and am thinking stencils could be a smart alternative to wallpaper for my bathroom re-do. I could also see using them as a decorative element to jazz up the insets on a tall, narrow, currently cottage-y storage unit that I want to paint over and make look more sophisticated.
megan w says
STENCIL ME! I just painted our bathroom and it could sure use some artwork, or some stenciling…..
Emily K says
Stencil me! I reupholstered an old chair for my daughter’s room and now i’m dying to try it again on some living room chairs. And I’d love to stencil my bathroom to make it look like wallpaper!
Maranda says
Stencil me!
I painted my master bath cabinets white and my guest bath cabinets a chocolate brown. Now I’m dying to paint my midtone wood kitchen cabinets a crisp white. I’d also love to add stripes to an accent wall in my bedroom after adding a chair rail stripe to my daughter’s nursery.
Ellen says
STENCIL ME! It’s time for me to paint some walls — the best DIY project ever.
Marissa smith says
Stencil me! I love your blog! I want to try the main wall at the top of our stairs to the 2 nd floor landing.
Annmarie says
STENCIL ME! I so want to repaint our bedroom! We plan on putting the house on the market so my husband doesn’t think it’s worth it at the moment, so I trying to work with it.
Kaydee says
STENCIL ME! I would love to repaint my room. It is a yellow that was supposed to be more pastel, but it’s not. Sadness. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a gorgeous color…it’s just more jump around sunshine than relaxing mellow yellow calmness. I think a cute tan stenciled design will be just the thing to calm it down.
Kirsten Wolfe says
Stencil me! I learned how to hang drywall a few months back when my husband moved some doorways to provide a better flow through the house and add an extra closet. Next project is taping and mudding the corners in my daughter’s room, and this time I’ve got to do it solo when I’ve never done the edges before.
Lori says
STENCIL ME! We are re-painting our living room and dining room. In the middle of all this my husband is very ill and we are waiting to finish. But for now we pray and wait patiently! Thanks for the giveaway!
Kristen says
STENCIL ME!!!
I have a brass thrift store lamp that is just waiting for a bright orange coat of spraipaint and a DIY ruffle-y upgrade to a Target lampshade. Can’t wait!
Tracy B says
Stencil Me!!
This weekend I am going to tackel painting our bedroom.

Chrissy E. says
STENCIL ME!
I sanded and stained an old cedar chest that I found in the back of my grandparents garage. My mom was about to put in on the street for free!! Now I want to do the same thing to an old tea cart…but possibly paint it instead of stain it!
Coreen says
Stencil me!
I always make my Halloween costumes and last year I made *almost* the entire Harley Quinn (of Batman) costume. All that’s left is the headpiece and I am dying to finish it. Alas, I recently moved cross country and couldn’t bring my sewing machine. Can’t wait until I get one here and can finish that costume!
Cindy says
STENCIL ME!!
I would love to tackle painting my doors again. I was looking at stencils at Michael’s just yesterday for the doors.

Stensil me!!!
I would love to get my hands on some stencils, your office walls inspire me!
Shannon Fox says
Stencil me! In our 12 years of marriage, we’ve lived in New Orleans, Houston, Shreveport, Pittsburgh, and now Denver. As a result of the frequent moves…my favorite projects tend to be of the mobile variety. I’ve dabbled in sewing, but I’m dying to really dig in and make something awesome!
Serena says
STENCIL ME! I have an old antique dresser that belonged to my husband’s great grandmother. I refinished that baby this last summer but now need to get the energy to refinish the mirror that goes along with it.
Anddd…I really would love the stencil gc because I want to diy a couple walls in my future baby’s room! Woo!
Amy says
STENCIL ME! Unfortunately, I seem to be frozen with indecisiveness, therefore our “new” home we’ve enjoyed for three years already still has lots of bare beige blah. But I really wanna throw some stencil on the walls!
Chelsea says
STENCIL ME!!
I made a wooden headboard and have been dying to make an upholstered headboard!
Crystal says
