A Beautiful Cabinet Make Over With Plaster Stenciling and Paint

Victoria Larsen Stencils
by Victoria Larsen Stencils
One of my favorite customers, Pauline Charpenter, went crazy when she found our Raised Plaster Stencils and has used them many times in her home to create raised beauty. But this was a favorite project that she did that just blew me away! I love sharing it.
Pauline first primed the cabinet and then used our Raised Plaster Victorian Corner and Border Stencil to create the raised designs on the doors using common joint compound.
With corner and border designs separated, it's easy to create repeated borders around the edges of furniture then to use the corner design in corners of larger furniture pieces, or use as a central design as Pauline did, right in the middle of the doors.
Once the designs were dry, she then painted the inner panels a contrasting brown to the pale green she used on the rest of the cabinet. She used brown paint in clear wall glaze over the designs to bring out the detail even further. The look was so beautiful that I'm now thinking of this treatment for my own bathroom cabinets!
