*** 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.

STENCIL ME
I have not been allowed to paint walls in a VERY long time! I’d love to give stenciling a try.
Ashley G says
STENCIL ME! we need to paint our walls again… that’s about as DIY as I can get at this point!
Kendra says
STENCIL ME!
Recently made a chalkboard with paint inside my pantry, but I’m dying to try a whole wall (inspired by you-know-who) in the kids’ room!
Rachel says
Stencil Me!
*geek alert!* Last fall I went to a Civil War reenactment with my dad and two of my SILs. I made two (!) dresses for the event, and it was so much fun! I’m just dying to go to another so I have a chance to sew myself more ridiculously fun costumes!
Betsy says
STENCIL ME!
We recently painted the front door, and replaced the hardware. It looks great, but now everything else out front looks like it needs to be painted! We will probably tackle painting the screen door, railing and shutters next (if the weather holds up this fall). :)
Jennifer says
STENCIL ME! I painted our bedroom years ago, and I would love to redo it in another color, and add a stencil in there for interest!
Kelsi G. says
STENCIL ME! Would love to tackle stenciling my guest bathroom!

STENCIL ME!
I made my daughter a play kitchen and it seriously needs some touching up!
Kelly says
STENCIL ME!I tried to DIY my own headboard…without a lot of success…so now I want to try again. Maybe with a few tips from your post on your headboard.

STENCIL ME!
i made a wood sign for our bathroom inspired by the subway style signs in your old bathroom and a DIY post from Katie Bower. i have another large scale one in the works now for our dining room.

STENCIL ME!
Nikki Kelly says
Stencil Me!
I actually would like to do some more stenciling! My sister is having a baby early next year and I’m helping her out with the room!
Natalie Royall says
Stencil me!
I painted in a chair-rail like boarder. Pretty plain. Would love to add to it. But currently my 5month old is keeping me pretty busy! But she’s too cute for me to complain :)
Sarah says
Stencil me! I want to do another window covering like I recently did in my family room (my bedroom and kitchen both need window coverings). But I also really want to do some stenciling in my laundry room! The previous owner touched up the white paint with a different white paint so it looks pretty bad (if you look closely enough, because I bet most people don’t notice it, but it bugs me). Plus I just got cute white enameled animal head hooks (giraffe and elephant) from Anthropologie and I need some contrast on the walls before putting them up!
Alice says
STENCIL ME!
I think the only redoing of a project would be making curtains for the guest room after making ones for the kitchen a while ago.
Bridget says
STENCIL ME!
I loved stripping this cute little end table from a bright safety line yellow into this gorgeous cherry simple masterpiece. Oh, and I bought it at a nun’s flea market for $2. Seriously- it was at a convent. I can’t wait to find something else to play with!
Liz says
STENCIL ME! I attempted to refinish and stain a dining room table, but need to give it another go…. :)
Christa @ a*typicaljourney says
STENCIL ME!
Unfortunately, Life has been getting in the way of getting my DIY on, but last year I did an image transfer onto fabric using a artists solvent-based blending marker. I made a bunch of faux grain sack pillows for Christmas last year and would love to do some more!!!
Kathleen B says
Stencil me!! I want to stencil an old desk!
JillM says
STENCIL ME!
I love anything crafty. A few months back I painted an old antique dresser a jewel tone green. I’m dying to do another dresser to turn into a changing table, just need to find the perfect one on Craigslist.
callie says
STENCIL ME! This is perfect for me! I stenciled our son’s nursery and would love to tackle our dining room next!

Stencil Me!
Funnily enough… my one DIY project that I tackled and would like to tackle again actually goes along with your earlier post – I would love to attempt a roman curtain one more time. I wanted to make something for my window above my stove and ended up with a strange looking valance instead of the roman curtain I was aiming for. So that is a DIY I’d love to give another try to! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Hilary says
STENCIL ME! I am anxious to refinish another piece of wood furniture after refinishing a dresser for our baby’s room. Your tutorials (including how to paint over laminiate) were so helpful!
Megan says
Stencil me! Refinishing & repurposing a dresser into a TV stand
Brooke Harris says
STENCIL ME! I want to repaint some walls. I went a little too color happy last time!
Allison says
STENCIL ME!
I spray painted a table last summer, and now I can’t stop painting furniture. I wonder though… can you stencil it? I want to try!
Shawna says
STENCIL ME!
When I couldn’t find any fun patterned curtains for my living/dining room, I decided to paint my own with a stencil I made from a flexible cutting board (use what ya got!). It. Took. For. Ever. They look pretty good from far away, but up close… I’m anxious to try again. Love the simple striped tutorial from your book, now to find the colors!
Jordan says
stencil me! I just used fabric paint on an ikea pillow cover for my daughter’s room. (from your book!) She now wants to make one for herself.
jessica says
Stencil Me!
I had a lot of fun making my daughter’s bedding before she was born. I’ve been feeling the itch to get the sewing machine back out. Perhaps freshen up the curtains in our master bedroom?
Jennifer says
STENCIL ME!
I always thought stenciling was lame (old school flowers over doorways) until I saw it on your site and now I’m obsessed with it. I have a guestroom that I am plotting the stenciling of a whole wall.
DIY – I am dying to do more furniture re-vamping. I have a boring headboard and a boring dresser than need to be brought to their full fabulous potential.
Wendy says
STENCIL ME! I love to paint and a stencil would be the perfect way to top off my apple green office.
Leanne says
Stencil me! I’ve had my eye on the Royal Design Stusio houndstooth stencils for our office wall!!
I revently spraypainted two table lamps for my living room and I am dying to spraypaint something else (the cat better watch out!).
Sarah says
STENCIL ME!
One day, I shall sew again.
Amber Hardiman says

Katie says
Stencil me! I am dying to make some more baby clothes for my kids!
Rosemary Palmer says
STENCIL THIS – I tried using stencils on a wall many years ago when all you could get was the small stencils. This looks so much easier and the designs are so up to date.
hilary says
Stencil me! I am dying to paint my cabinets…we did it at our last house and I cant wait to accomplish it again!

STENCIL ME! I’ve never had the guts to try a stencil project but I think this would be the perfect reason to start!
Lindsay says
STENCIL ME!
I made some DIY postcard art and can’t wait to decorate using more mementos!
KellyM says
STENCIL ME!!!! Oddly enough I’d like to do a stencil project again…I did one about 20 years ago, no idea what I was doing and it wasn’t as great a job as I would have like….now years later with more DYI and painting experience I think I could get a really pro result…plus the BF has a fear of wallpaper :)
NancyY says
STENCIL ME! I never get tired of DIY artwork. I’m on the lookout for a cheap big canvas to do a big something for our kitchen…
Rosie says
Stencil me!
We just renovated our guest bath and now I can’t wait to rork our master bath…especially the tile in our shower!
Hope you guys make it to Albuquerque!
Jennifer says
STENCIL ME! I just learned to sort of sew while doing some projects on my daughters nursery. Now that I have adjusted to her being here, I’m ready to get back to more sewing projects!!
Krysta says
STENCIL ME! I need to do a photo wall soon but I have a fear of putting a nail in the wrong spot. Do you guys do house calls?

my diy’s are generally small and portable (woo renters!) so i’m working towards finishing my most recent paint-by-numbers to hang up.
Gigi says
STENCIL ME!! I finished building a vanity in my master bath and I’m about to tackle the one in the guest bath.
Kim says
STENCIL ME!
We’ve been DIY-ing a bathroom in our half-finished basement, but it definitely could use a different paint color and better finishes.
Kristin says
STENCIL ME! My daughter’s room is striped and it turned out really well. I would try that again.
