*** 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?

STENCIL ME! I’d love to stencil a small, guest bathroom that I’ve been avoiding tackling for, oh you know, years. This would be the kick in the butt I need!

Grambie says
STENCIL ME! My last effort at stenciling was back in the 1980’s when I remember stealing every moment to stencil the living room border while my children were napping. Our designs were of the country-berries-and-birds variety, so it would be great to try a more modern approach!
Nicole M. says
STENCIL ME! My latest DIY project was making some coffee charm markers and hacking some IKEA candle holders :) Next up painting a pillow. I would love the challenge of stenciling a subtle pattern in our living room!
katie t says
“Stencil Me!” I would like to retackle our bedroom I chose green when we 1st moved in and it is the wrong shade and needs something fun to spruce it up.

Stenciling quotes on kids rooms

Lindsey says
STENCIL ME!
I want to re-upholster an old chair with fabric that I create. (I have never done this, yet it sounds too fun!)
meagan says
stencil me!
reupholstering our dining room chairs. Wasn’t difficult and the results were very gratifying, because they sure were ugly before :)
Tracy P. says
STENCIL ME! I’d love to try painting some more furniture. Great way to add some color and totally make over an old drab piece — and it’s cheap!
Kate says
STENCIL ME!
Looking forward to tiling our fireplace surround.
Michelle says
STENCIL ME! My husband and I would love to change out our backsplash. It’s the one part of our kitchen project that we weren’t happy with.
Maria says
Stencil Me! I painted a chevron design onto my bedroom wall; hardest thing to do ever, but the outcome was well worth it. It even goes from darkest color on the bottom to lighter color on top. :):)
Lindsey says
Stencil me! I recently sanded and painted my grandfather’s nicked up hand-me-down dressers and endtables, replaced the hardward, and love the new look! Painting is a great way to transform ALMOST anything. Love what you’re doing on the site, btw!
Claire says
Stencil me!!!
Dying to making crib sheets again!

I want to paint the trim in all of our house. I did one room and thought it was too hard to do the rest of the house…but now that it’s been a while I wonder if I could do it again!

Kelsey says
STENCIL ME!
I’m kind of a DIY virgin, but the “stencil success kit” might be my key to overcoming the intimidation factor and just doing it. (Whoa, just re-read what I wrote – sorry about all the innuendo! That was not intentional!)
Julie says
STENCIL ME!
LisaR says
STENCIL ME!
Definitely need to paint some furniture around here!

Does paint count? Because I just bought a new home, and need to paint. And I was already planning on a stenciling a wall, so this would be perfect! (All my other DIY plans for the new place are new to me!)

I have a lot of things on my to-do list–hung up art/curtains, but really need to paint the trim and would love to try my hand at stenciling :)

STENCIL ME!
I need to do something on my large, boring bed room walls!

STENCIL ME!
I would love to repaint my bedroom furniture. Tall dresser, short dresser and 2 nightstands. First time was ok. But now I have better skills.
But starting this Saturday, I am tackling the kitchen. Painting the cabinets and walls. Got my sander, deglosser and primer ready.
Andrea says
STENCIL ME!
I just finished repainting my husband’s grandfather’s childhood desk and from the sanding to picking out the knobs, the project was a lot of fun!

Stencil Me!
My latest DIY is helping a friend paint her ceilings and living room.

STENCIL ME!!
Would love to do this in my dining room!

Stencil me! I have a long list of DIYs that I would love to do or re-do. Top of the list is a gallery wall..but a stenciled wall would be just as fun :)
Eliana W. says
STENCIL ME! I’m getting ready to stencil a cheap rug. I also really want to etch my builder grade bathroom mirror.
Christina @ Homemade Ocean says
STENCIL ME! This is so funny because I have spent about 18 hours on back breaking stenciling projects in the last year and I just said to Tim last night that I am ready to take on another (thanks to your last house crash).
I want to add some metallic paint to a little nook with a stenciled design. It’s small enough to not send me into a tizzy thinking about it haha!
Lizza Apostola says
STENCIL ME!! I am eyeing a few crochet/ knitting projects for Christmas gifts but haven’t done anything like that in a long time so I am excited to see how they might turn out!
Ashley says
STENCIL ME!
Laura M says
STENCIL ME! I’ve nevered stenciled before, but I would love to try it in my dining room. It would make such a great statement.
Terryn Stagge says
STENCIL ME!
I have been wanting to stencil a wall in my house and have been eyeing some stencils at Hobby Lobby, but winning this would be so awesome!
Lindsay says
Stencil Me!
Trying to re-finish an old dresser! I hate sanding!!
Jenny G. says
STENCIL ME please!! I tried to make my son a “Space Window” out of chalkboard paint on his bedroom wall. We had grand plans to frame the window and make it the focal point of his bedroom. Long story short – never framed, painted it too high, never even broke out the chalk. Major fail! I totally need a do-over.
Jasmine says
stencil me!
Leslie says
STENCIL ME!
i’ve refinished & distressed a bedroom set(guest room) that i love & would love to do it for my boys room – just have to find two twin headboards first !
Nicole A. says
Stencil me! We recently added board and batten to our living room…it was a lot of work but I love how it came out and would love to do something similar in the bathroom.
Jenny says
Stencil Me! I painted an exterior door…and need to try it again on the same door. If at first you don’t succeed…..
Julie says
STENCIL ME!!!
I’m in the process of choosing colors for our new rental. I’ve got a powder room, a living/entry and a kitchen/dining/stairway to paint. Actually, the entire house needs help, since the owners painted everything in 4 different shades of FLAT browns. I know this because each room has 4 different colors!
I’d love to do another furniture piece – I have cute vanity just begging for a new painted finish!
Katie B says
Stencil me!
I recently repainted an old rusty file cabinet to a fabulous seafoam green (thanks for the spray paint tips by the way, it turned out great!), but I’m itching to really give it a little more pizazz. I’ve been thinking about freehanding something on it, but stencils might be a good way to go too!
Kimberly says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve had success with painting and am ready to tackle another room.
Alissa says
Stencil me!
My only DIY project to date was painting a few of those small unfinished square ikea mirrors, probably 4 years ago. I’ve recently gotten the DIY itch back (thanks, Pinterest!) so there are quite a few projects in my future.
