Stencil Painting On The Wall: Guest
11 August 2010
Ralna at House By Numbers tried stencil painting on her wall and it turned out quite nice.
So today I took an hour of my day and finally started the project I've been thinking about for weeks now to try in our guest room. I totally stole the idea from here, and just made up a stencil with some card stock. I then used my $2.50 acrylic silver craft paint from Wal-Mart and a little craft paintbrush and took the plunge! Originally I thought I would do it all across the back wall - but now I'm thinking I like it in the corner and will most likely do one strip on the other wall kitty-corner across the room because I do still want to add my headboard and don't want it to be too much. But I'm pretty happy with it - think it made a big difference in adding interest to the room and was definitely within the budget at this point! :)

This is very nice. I've seen so many of these projects on the net lately where they've done the whole wall. I like your idea better. Less daunting and doable!
yay!!! looks awesome :)
Holy cow!! I'm not a modern girl for sure but, I love this look. Amazing how you made your own stencil. ~~~~~Cathy~~~~~
This totally rocks! I love the silvery-shiny look and how it's not overpowering. Great design! I'm totally stealing this when I move.
Ooh, I like the subtlety of this one. Sometimes I think wall stencils get too busy!
I like that it was used as an accent instead of the entire wall. I think it makes a statement but in a subtle way. It looks great!
Very glam! I like it.
Wonderful! Love it. I just put it in my possible bathroom dress up ideas. THANKS for the great idea.
That looks so pretty and fancy! You did a great job!
Looks fantastic! I love the price, too, and it adds tons of interest to your wall. Love it! That silver color is perfect.

I adore your blog and those like you ... thanks for being so generous. I only wish all of you were in one place so I never miss a posting or new blog ... a girl can only follow so many. We quilters have a 'one stop' place

I have the site in my google.com/reader and gosh I can keep up with 100's of blogs.
Thanks everyone for your encouragement! I'm actually super new to blogging - like three months, and have been so inspired by so many of the amazing ideas and inspiration out there. Our house is FAR from done so I hope some of you will keep checking in and lend your feedback/ideas as we stumble towards completion! :)
