*** 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!
We refinished a dresser for my daughter’s room and it turned out SO well and was so affordable… and I’ve been searching for the perfect chest of drawers for our room. Im convinced it doesn’t exist, so I think we just have to MAKE it exist by modifying another thrift store piece… :)
Lisa says
STENCIL ME! I have been meaning to get some Gorilla Glue to try and re-do the shadowboxes from my son’s 1st and second birthdays that were an epic fail the first time when I used Krazy Glue and it wasn’t strong enough to hold up the candles!!
Lindsey K says
STENCIL ME! Haven’t ever stenciled before but would love to do a statement wall in the entryway.
April says
Stencil Me!
I painted stripes on one wall in my daughter’s nursery. It was too cold in the room when we painted and the tape pulled the Sheetrock off the walls. We patched it up but she is ready for a big girl room and would love to experiment with something else to cover the stripes.
Yoelly says
STENCIL ME!
Chevron pattern wall in the master bath!

stencil me! Master bedroom is waiting for some stencil love!
Jessica says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve been able to accessorize only one bedroom in my whole house because of ongoing remodeling that needs to happen before pretty is added. I’m so itching to get to another room already! Even hanging a new rod and curtains (and throwing away the 50 year old stuff that was here when we moved in) in another bedroom feels like a HUGE accomplishment.
Christine says
STENCIL ME!
I want to stencil our downstairs bathroom, since I can’t decide between paint or wall paper. I figure its a good compromise of the both?! :)

Janna says
Stencil Me! I’m still so happy with how my last upholstery project turned out, and have a couple more lined up I can’t wait to get to. Now if only I could decide on a fabric!
Holley says
Stencil me!
My favorite DIY was a couple of framed jewelry hangers – cheap goodwill frames repainted, with some fabric-covered cork board and push pins. Super easy and cute!
Allison H. says
STENCIL ME!
Actually – in sticking with the paint theme, I recently painted all the closets and baseboards in our home in preparation for selling it. I always thought I hated painting, but found it must just be large walls I hate painting. The detail / small space thing I really like! We hope to buy a bigger house (one we have in mind…) soon and there is a little half bath that would love some stenciling / detail painting :)
Heather says
STENCIL ME! Painted an oak table and want to paint another piece of furniture soon.

Stencil me! The sewing machine still sits in the closet taunting me since my last effort to make pillows. sigh.

STENCIL ME! I recently reupholstered a bench with my new Birthday present)staple gun-my husband loves when he can buy a gift for me from Home Depot. Have my eye on some fabric to recover the seats of my dining room chairs next.

Stencil me!
I would love to paint another Craigslist piece-I am thinking an old buffet or dresser in a fun color to double as toy storage in our basement!
Renee says
STENCIL ME! I’ve been wanting to stencil our stair risers since the first time I saw a photo of it done…but now our house is on the market.
Erica says
STENCIL ME!
My last DIY project was to stencil one wall in our living room. I used flat paint, then used the same color, in semi-gloss (couldn’t get high gloss with the paint I chose) for the stencil effect. It turned out great. I had some hiccups, but no one has noticed them, yet =) I really want to add a stencil in our pantry, between the shelving. It’s an open area, and it needs a little something to make it pop =)
Beryl says
STENCIL ME!
I painted and stenciled a side table few weeks ago, and it didn’t come out perfect as I imagined it. It was my first time painting and stenciling anything. I want to try my hand on stenciling again after I learned what not to do.
Rachel says
STENCIL ME! I made half the number of cute pillows we needed for our new couches–I would love to have time to tackle the other half!

Dianna says
STENCIL ME! I’m in the mood to paint mom & dad’s bathroom in a pretty light pink color and was thinking about stenciling the first wall you see when you come in. They still have a mint green bathtub and we’ll have to work around that…Yowzers!
Mackenzie says
STENCIL ME! I recovered a lampshade the other day. Looking forward to giving that another go. Maybe a pattern this time….

STENCIL ME!

Jennie says
STENCIL ME! I’d like to make some more shelves…
Kate R says
STENCIL ME! Please. I have grand dreams of a stenciled stairwell!

STENCIL ME!
I would love to stencil my bathroom walls. I’ve never tried stenciling but the end results make it tempting to try.
Chrissy says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve redone one bathroom and put in a second and then we moved. I’m dying to work on our master bath and make a few changes to the kids’ bathroom as well.
