Earlier this year, I toyed around with tiling our "breakfast nook" and got as far as ordering samples. I envisioned a pistachio green wall for that retro flare to match our KitchenAid appliances. Fast forward 4 months: I finally did something about it, but not in the way you'd expect! I used the tile stencil and paint I got for a future bathroom project.

This is what the space looked like before. The white walls gave the space a simple and clean look, but it was time for a change.

Pick a stencil pattern


I used a pouncer from a past stenciling project.

Start stenciling from a corner


Use a level to keep the pattern straight. Our ceiling wasn't exactly level and required touch up afterwards.

Keep stenciling!


You will need to bend the stencil for the edges and hand-paint the corners.

    Did you paint your cabinets too? They look totally different in the after pictures.

    Do you remember where you purchased this stencil and the name of it?

    Wow! Beautiful! Do you think someone (like me) who has never stenciled could accomplish the job without making it look too bad? Any special tips to make it look good for a first time stenciler?? Thank you!
