*** 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?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Nov 14th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond the US (more on that here). This giveaway is open to The United States.

I did a wood wall in my bathroom! Desperately want to do another one.

Stencil me!! I haven’t tried stenciling before but the timing of this is perfect! I’m about to paint my neglected half bath and was planning on getting a Royal Design Studio stencil after seeing your office.
shanna says
Stencil Me! I have always wanted to try a stencil!
Eileen says
STENCIL ME! I’m not really DYING to do it, but I really need to replace a few panels of screen on my patio. Gotta break out the spline and roller.
HeidiG. says
STENCIL ME!
I’ve tried the stencil route before but because I screwed up on the color, I never went back to it. Now that tastes have changed I’d like to give it a second shot.
violarulz/ducksandbooks says
STENCIL ME! We’re hoping to buy our first home soon (no more rentals, yey!) and so many of them that we’ve seen so far are just blah. I see paint, and lots of it in my future.
Meghan says
STENCIL ME!
I stenciled a canvas (poorly) and now I’m thinking about trying again on some curtains that hide a closet. Go big or go home?
Geri says
Stencil Me! Can’t wait to redo our kitchen one day…soon!!

Stencil Me! I’ve already selected my stencil and have a powder room update planned.
Beth A. says
STENCIL ME!!
I’ve sewn curtains before, but it’s been a long time.
I’d love to tackle another simple sewing project (or maybe faux sew like Sherry’s roman shade).
Karen says
STENCIL ME!
I’d love to try a faux wood textured wall for my master bedroom. There is something so fun and rustic, yet modern about the look. Sigh…

STENCIL ME!
I’ve made curtains and would love to make more.

STENCIL ME! I spraypainted some old nasty pink mirrors I found for $7 each at goodwill with ORB paint, so now I’m motivate to take spraypaint to everything I have that could use sprucing up!
Jenn M says
Stencil me!
I just reupholstered a chair the other day, and loved the result, so I’m itching to reupholster the other chair that I picked up for free. There’s just something about the word free that makes me smile.
Kristen M says
STENCIL ME! My latest DIY that I can’t wait to try again is another Christmas wreath. It really makes it feel like the holidays and the new house has plenty of doors that need some sprucing!
Suzanne says
Stencil me. My dd’s rooM
Amanda McInnes says

Elizabeth says
STENCIL ME! I tried screen printing once and really loved it. I’d love to do that again.
Sarah S. says
STENCIL ME!
I have been searching Craigslist for months looking for the perfect replacement coffee table with no luck. I’m thinking it will be easier, and probably cheaper, to just build what I want. I’m not quite ready yet, but with some help from Ana White’s blog, I really think I can do it!
Hilary says
STENCIL ME!
We already tiled one bathroom and I can’t wait to do the other!

STENCIL ME!
Just finished painting my sister’s bedroom and a stencil would look great in there!
LoriM says
STENCIL ME!
I saw a striking photo of a textile at the Art Institute of Chicago, and I “copied” it to a large sheet of homasote to use as an inspiration board in my evolving work space. I’d love to continue the graphic over on the basement stairs. Sort of a stencil pattern without using a stencil, just painters tape.
That said, I have a wall that is crying for a true stenciled pattern!
Donna says
STENCIL ME! I’ve attempted to sew a few times, but have recently taken Sewing 101, and am ready to try again. This time, I’m going to try sewing pillow covers!
Anna K says
Stencil me! My husband and I did decal gold stars on our son’s ceiling to look like a popular wallpaper we have seen on pinterest. It turned out great and was super affordable. I want to stencil my dining room chairs’ seat cushions in a gold color -should be fun and festive!
Emily Gravitt says
STENCIL ME! I painted an old bookcase and now want to paint it’s twin. Just need to get some alone time. : )

Kamille says
Stencil me! I recently refinished a table and would love to tackle the chairs next!

STENCIL ME! I worked with concrete and powdered colorants to make all of the stones surrounding our fireplace. I’d love to create some more stones somewhere else in our house…just haven’t found the right place yet!
Kara J says
STENCIL ME!
My husband and I reupholstered a chair for my son’s nursery http://familyjulius.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/a-place-to-sit/
and I’m dying to reupholster a pair of bucket chairs for our room (AND our dining room chairs which were my late grandmother’s)

STENCIL ME!
I want to re-do my gallery picture wall (more like yours!) to include not just art and photos, but objects. Love your keys and maps!

STENCIL ME! My favorite DIY project has been sewing little makeup/travel bags. I plan on making a bunch to give my aunts/friends for Christmas.

Stencil Me! After I finished painting one room in my house I’ve been feeling the urge to paint another. Maybe a stencil this time…hmm.
andrea @ my kinda perfect says
STENCIL ME!
I actually really want to stencil something. I also have a broken piece of a table top that I’d love to re-purpose into a welcome sign. =)
Melinda says
Stencil me!
We just barely moved into our own home, so I don’t have anything that I’d like to re-try. Yet! :)
Meggan says
Stencil Me! I regrouted my shower, which was a long, arduous pain in the butt. (it went so much faster when I broke down and got a dremel multi max!) However, I would love to do another tiling project with what I learned. Maybe a backsplash once we buy our house!
Nicole Marie says
Stencil me!
I am looking forward to dusting off my sewing machine and making some new curtains!

Stencil Me!
(If this counts as DIY) I made croissants last week after many years of thinking about it. They turned out great and I am dying to try again!
Heather says
STENCIL ME!!
I recently bought a new shower curtain and was trying to figure out some decorations to use…. (insert pointing at the page in your book with the yellow spray painted wreath) That was my inspiration!
Siobhan says
Stencil me! I’m excited about painting the living room and not having to live with magnolia walls for much longer :)
Emily says
STENCIL ME!!!
Linda F. says
Stencil Me!
We have done a lot of outdoor work in previous houses, but it is time to build a patio (again)! This time, though, we’re doing pavers like yours! Thank you for the posts on it…we’ve been studying them.
