Allover Stencil "How To"
by
Danielle B
Many years ago I hand painted an entire room in fleur de lis. By the time I was done I hated it (it was painstaking) but it did get a great reaction and it looked nice.
For my cottage bedroom I was trying to find a way to create a custom accent wall without going through those pains again and wallpaper wasn't turning out to be the answer either.

I decided to go with an Allover Wall Stencil. If you've been thinking about trying one, check out the "how to" I just finished using the Royal Design Stencils. I love the designs, it was easy, a lot of work, but easy.
Let me know what do you think! love it, hate it? I'm curious.

I did an allover wall stencil in my guest bedroom and it looks ok but I wish I would have done it in more of a contrast. It is a little too subtle. Yours looks very nice. It is a lot of work but looks so good when done.

what are you doing with the rest of the room? Seems like a pretty eclectic hodge podge.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
why would you put that desk in front of a window and block the light? I don't get it.
What paint did you use?
I'm thinking of doing my living room's three walls in gold, like yours, the accent wall has old/antique? wallpaper in browns and gold. (I don't know when old turns into antique: it was put up somewhere between the 1950s and the late '70s.) Do you think that would be overkill?
I know your bedroom is a work in progress, so a bit of leeway is justified in the 'eclectic' vibe. I am also curious about the large monitor in front of the window, though.
I have always thought putting your life on display on the internet, inviting comments, is incredibly brave.
