*** 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…

Emily S says
STENCIL ME!
I refinished my dining room table prior to moving out of our house and into a tiny apartment. I’m dying to refinish some more furniture, but I need to wait for some more space!
Samantha says
STENCIL ME! This might sound silly but one of my favorite DIY projects was making a monogrammed pillows as gifts for friends last Christmas. I just used craft paint on inexpensive store bought pillows and played with different fonts that I thought “fit” each gift recipient. I even made 1 a Scrabble tile! I need more reasons for initials in my house/life.
Jeri says
Stencil me! And I’d love to try stenciling again. I tried it once before, and loved the outcome – except I did it a smidge crooked, which really bugs me. I know I could do better 2nd time around.
Jessica says
STENCIL ME!
I used chalkboard paint to make a frame that we could hang over our fireplace and absolutely cannot wait to try to use the paint on other things!
Jen N. says
Stencil me!
I’d love to attempt making my own curtains, but sewing scares me.

STENCIL ME!
I recently tried my hand at chalk art and it was SO MUCH FUN that I can’t wait until I get tired of the current saying so I can do it again. :)
Holly says
STENCIL ME! I am dying to try out a stencil project!
I built a chicken coop from scrap wood and looking at pictures online. It’s quirky and cute, but I would love to start again knowing what I know now–and with full consideration about how big my hens are (and how much width they take up on their perches at night–it’s a little crowded in there).
Sarah S says
STENCIL ME!
I only have a few successful sewing projects under my belt, but after making a sewing table this weekend, I’m ready to improve that success ratio!
Sarah J. says
Stencil me!

Phoebe Koehler says
Stencil me!!
I love DIYing with fabric, like new chair covers or a headboard.
Samantha says
Stencil me!
I spray painted the legs of my couches since they were a lighter wood than I liked. I’m itching to spray some more!

“STENCIL ME!” I can’t wait to make more window treatments! I’ve already made floor to ceiling curtains for the living room, now I’m ready to get my faux roman shade on in the kitchen!
Lou Anne says
STENCIL ME!
Last year, I wrapped all of my Christmas gifts in the same general way, with plain brown or red paper and the recipient’s initials cut out of some fun Christmas scrapbook paper. I’m looking forward to doing something fun, creative, and different again this year!
Heather Bailey says
Stencil me!
We are in the process of diy-ing our basement. We took out the red shag carpet and are in the process of painting the paneling! WOOT!
Katie Oz says
STENCIL ME! I’m new to DIY, but this would be a perfect first project!

I love painting lamps/chandeliers and completely transforming them! Can’t wait to tackle the beautifully-shaped but ugly gold chandelier in our dining room.
Andrea says
STENCIL ME!
Much to my husband’s dismay, I love any DIY project that involves painting furniture.
Melissa Severance says
STENCIL ME…. we’ve been doing a total overhaul of the living and dining room to make them more functional and want to give my walls a real WOW factor.These cool stencils – and the tips to help me make them look great- would be perfect.
Bonus: I made a photo collage poster from a trip we took to Holland that turned our photos into instant wall art and want to try doing the same for the holidays.. bring in cool prints/colors and then some photos we treasure as part of our holiday decor. (Now… finding the time to do it!)
Addie says
Stencil me!

Lara says
Stencil Me!
I redid a dresser a while back and I can’t wait to do it again. It took a long time, but it was worth it. I want to find an old credenza or buffet and do it again.
Tiffany P says
Stencil Me!!
I am itching to give new life to the rocking chair my Mom rocked us to sleep in- and the one I will be rocking my frist born (due in March) in! Need to decide on a color!!
Brianne says
Stencil Me!
We are actually moving (to Richmond!!) in the next month or two so with that starts off many new house projects. For starters…. painting the walls.

STENCIL ME! I’ve been contemplating stenciling the kid’s room. We’re bathroom reno DIY pros here, but stencils are new to our makeover arsenal.
Ali Miller says
I am sad to say that I have only repainted ONE room in our house (they ALL need it). It turned out so well (thanks for your many tips), but I really need to get on the rest of the place.
In better news, your book has inspired me and I did lots of reframing projects over the weekend. You know it’s bad when even your husband comments that you need to get some things on the walls.
I even recut some old frames to fit some custom items! THANKS GUYS! :)
Rebecca @This Nest is Best says
STENCIL ME! I recently finished painting an old-ish armoire a lovely turquoise and now every piece of furniture in my home is in danger of getting painted! I seriously looove how it looks!
But on a stencil sidenote, I’m considering stenciling our kitchen floors, so this kit would be amazing!
PS – so great to meet you in Chi-town!!!
Lindsay @Off for the Season says
STENCIL ME!
I currently glueing rope to a mirror. We’ll see how this goes….

Liene says
STENCIL ME!
Jessica says
STENCIL ME! Although we just tackled our first stencil project, I’d love to do another. I am DYING to try your dresser project from the book, but on my jewelry armoire. I am going to use shades of blue on all of the drawers.
Carissa T says
STENCIL ME!
We are about to move into our new house, so we have not done a lot of DIY yet but we would love to start soon!
Amy says
Stencil me!
Does painting count? We’ve pretty much painted (and re-painted) most of the rooms in our house, but there are a couple that I’d love to re-paint and one that still needs paint. Ask my friends though and they’ll tell you this is perfectly normal for me! :)
kristin says
STENCIL ME!
I am thinking about building another nightstand! Hopefully the second time is easier than the first!
Crystal says
STENCIL ME!
I’d loved to try to reupholster my chairs again. I started off well but got discouraged by the insane number of staples I had to pull off. I’ve recently discovered that there is a staple remover I can use, versus the hammer and screwdriver that will make my life so much easier!
Lindsey says
STENCIL ME!
I made a DIY wall-hanging out of toilet paper tubes that actually turned out pretty cute!
Skittle says
STENCIL ME!! I once tried to stencil something & it was a complete failure. I have since learned what my mistakes were & would love to try it again.
