*** 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!!!!
I haven’t DIY’ed anything in years, but I’m gearing up to do several projects for my son’s nursery. He’ll be here in February, so I need to get on it soon!
Claire says
STENCIL ME!
I’m on the verge of painting another piece of furniture. My attempts always end up looking like a toddler’s craft project but hopefully next time it’ll be better!
Jen says
STENCIL ME! I really want to stencil the upper half of our dining room. A free stencil is way more attractive than buying one, but I may have to go that route.
Meredith O. says
STENCIL ME!
I just rearranged my living room which made a big difference, but I really want to stencil my adjoining dining room.
Jessica S says
STENCIL ME!
I need to paint some fabric (maybe just drop cloths) to make a curtain to replace the bi-fold doors that we took down in the playroom. Because bi-fold doors + little fingers = lots of pinched pinkies! And no doors means we see the mess! I also need to make a no-sew cushion for the window seat in there.
My current project is a knock-off mail center made from heavy-duty cardboard covered with fabric. I just have to get a warm enough day to spray the adhesive on the cardboard, then get the paper-craft supplies out and label the bins!
Oh, and I’m in the middle of my annual holiday baking, where I churn out about 2500 cookies, so I guess I’m a little busy here!
Dreaming of a dramatic stencil though for the back end of my bedroom :)
Allison Jabaay says
STENCIL ME! One project I would like to try is making a vanity from and old dresser. I just finished making drawer fronts for our current vanity for the time being, and I’m feeling a bit more confident with my wood-working skills
Amelia Adams says
STENCIL ME!
We have been renovating our entire home for the last 2 1/2 years, and I think a stenciled wall in our master bedroom is just what we need.
Ashley M says
STENCIL ME!
I think I would like to make another chalkboard picture frame. Sounds super easy but that’s because it is! Gotta love the instant gratification and plus there is always places to hang more :)
Sarah says
Stencil Me!!! I would LOVE to stencil my entryway, I was thinking of doing wallpaper but that gets expensive.
Jennifer says
Stencil Me!
I would love to have another try at my powder room it’s kinda boring now and I loved the one in our old house, a stencil might be just the thing it needs.
Tricia says
STENCIL ME!! I am dying to paint/stencil an accent wall in our living room!
Susie says
STENCIL ME! I wouldn’t say I’m dying to do this particular project, but I really need to strip and refinish my old bureau. It has several coats of dirty-looking off-white paint over the original oak.
Shauna says
STENCIL ME
I got in to sewing/quilting while laid off from my job and I really enjoyed it. Once I got a new full time job, had a baby a new house etc, pulling out the ole sewing machine doesnt top the list!
PS – I was thinking of stenciling a backsplash in our kitchen… I have been looking at stencils. If I ever do it…I will surely send a picture to you!
Morgan says
STENCIL ME!
I’d love to try alying bamboo floor again. We replaced living room carpet with bamboo in our old house. Our new house has some nasty carpet in the lower level that would really look much better in the dumpster.
Hallie says
Stencil Me!
I’ve started refinishing a set of bedside tables. One is getting close. The other I haven’t started yet! Gotta get crackin’!
Carrie says
STENCIL ME!
I just recentaly took off my closet doors in my bedroom to add curtains, loved the outcome so much, I cant wait to try it in the other bedrooms!
Heesun Shim says
Stencil me
Janis S. says
STENCIL ME! I would love to take on another “painting furniture” project. I want one of those old buffet tables to antique with maybe a pretty yellow color for our school room
Melissa says
STENCIL ME!
I have attempted spray paint one time and really want to try it again. I’ve seen so many great things done with spray paint, but definitely lack practice and confidence that I could DIY similar.
Lauren says
STENCIL ME!
I was just telling my H how I wanted to stencil our entry over the holidays!
Nicky says
STENCIL ME!
I’m dying to try my hand at refinishing/staining furniture again after recreating your changing table project from Clara’s room for my own daughter!
Kristen says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve recently started trying more with my sewing machine (formerly only used for straight lines!) and I’m having a lot of fun with it! I made my daughter’s Halloween costume and also some baby gifts for a new niece! Next I plan to tackle some Christmas related sewing projects :)
Allison W. says
STENCIL ME! No DIY projects as of yet.
Lauren says
STENCIL ME!
I did a gallery wall for my little lady’s nursery and I’m now in the process of creating about 3 more around the house. It’s so much fun to get creative, piecing together things most people wouldn’t think to put in frames or hang on the walls. All of the fun personal-to-us touches are going a long way in making our house feel like a home.
michelle says
stencil me! I want to stencil my bright yellow basement bathroom!
Alexandra C says
Stencil Me!
I’ve done homemade curtains before, but I’m wanting to replace my closet bifold doors with curtains! I want to use the setncils to make a painted backsplash in my kitchen!
Kai says
STENCIL ME!
We just did two small furniture refinish projects, one involving an armoire that Erich painted deep blue with metallic hardware and then a kids bench I painted a shade of turquoise and plan on stenciling with the alphabet. I also have one last piece to do – a small bookcase – and I want to use a modern repeating stencil on the shelves and top to liven it up a bit!
Kasie says
STENCIL ME!!
I am definitely new to DIYing. My husband and I just bought her first home about 1 1/2 ago. But I am dying to take another stab at painting. I can’t wait to paint some of our other rooms.
Lessie says
STENCIL ME!
I am ready to start on a guest bedroom… my first stenciling project ever. This would be a great way to start :)
Meredith T says
STENCIL ME!
I’m in the middle of a DIY Project right now. I’m painting a rolling kitchen cart I bought to use as a coffee bar. It is laminate, so a little more involved. I’m really excited on how it will turn out.
I’m also painting some IKEA floating shelves to use in my dining room.
I’m a painting fool.
Michelle says
STENCIL ME! I’ve only ever painted a bedroom wall. I would love to do anything DIY. There are just soooo many things it’s hard for me to start!
Bethany Annechino says
Stencil Me!!!
I have a couple of things I really want to stencil to turn them from blah to totally me. And it looks like we may be moving, so I’d be able to use whatever stencils I get now in future projects. Stenciled bathroom walls, anyone? Sounds delicious.
Erin says
STENCIL ME! I would love to do a stenciled accent wall in our new house!

Jordan says
STENCIL ME!
I’d like to repaint the room that I first painted on my own (as a surprise for the hubs, while he was away on business) and have never been too thrilled with!
Amber says
STENCIL ME!
We have most of the downstairs painted in our new home, but our living room is just begging for something new. Can’t wait to work on painting it!
Jenn says
STENCIL ME! I can’t wait to paint the cabinet I bought for my entryway. It has great molding and it will be fun to pick out new knobs.
Gretchen says
STENCIL ME!

I haven’t ever stenciled anything, but I would love to try it out!
Brandi says
STENCIL ME!!!
I don’t have any going on right now, which is why it would be great if I won this; I could get started on something new!
Jessica Boltz says
Stencil Me!
I’d love to try painting some light fixtures again…once it is warm enough to spray paint I’ll be back at it!

I’d like another whack at my teacup jewelry holder.
Katie says
Stencil Me!!
My latest DIY project is crocheting myself a hat!!! Next are gloves! I’ve made tons of scarves, blankets and hats in the past, just getting back into it to get read for the winter season!
May M. says
STENCIL ME!
We stenciled our son’s nursery at our old place. It was beautiful, inviting, whimsical and so us. Unfortunately we cannot repeat it at our current rental….BUT….we just closed on our FIRST HOME yesterday, literally! I cannot wait to stencil every single wall I choose without any restrictions. =)
Tara says
Stencil Me, Please!! I am actually going to try to make some new doors for built in cabinets in my small townhouse living room. Currently they are the ugly formica like ‘european” style cabinets that went into every townhouse in the 80’s. Thinking to replace with homemade doors painted white to match the trim. Cross your fingers it works :-)
Amy H. says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve been wanting to stencil something but I can’t decide what!
