“It is like a mustard seed, which a
man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and
the birds perched in its branches”
NIV Luke 13:19
This is my first cutting edge stenciling project, it was seriously so easy, it only took a few minutes.
I just rolled the roller in the paint on a paper plate and then rolled it off onto paper towels until the roller appeared dry. Then I just rolled it over the stencil applying medium pressure. I think I only had to add paint twice to the roller. Then I was done... I just removed the stencil and admired my work!
There are no windows in my bathroom, (hence the poorly lite photos) so we hung an old window over the stenciled wall, for a beautiful "view" The window was given to me, I like a good deal, but I LOVE FREE!
Leave me a note and let me know you were here, and I would love it if you wanted to follow along!

good morning Lorrie ...Love this stencil and how you used it. This is the same stencil I ordered months ago and had this same plan in mind to go over a bed in my daughter's ranch house. I thought of doing it on canvas or drop cloth and attaching it to the back of the window. Do you think that would work? So happy you are back blogging, you are so talented.

u just gave me an idea for over my bed. i don't have anything over it and this would be perfect! i may not add the window though, but i do like it
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful--we also have no windows in either of our bathrooms!! At first glance, I thought this was sprayed etching on the window, which would also work but limit your window to only horizontal the birds. But painting the stencil on the wall??--genius idea--so pretty.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I thought it was on the window...silly me:)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Your vintage window looks so pretty with the stencil. I love stencils! Thanks for sharing the inspiration with the newbie party.
ReplyDeleteVERY pretty! I love the idea of putting the stencil on the wall and putting the window over it! We have no windows in any of the 3 bathrooms we have. Might have to think about this idea for one of them!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out amazing! You really get the feel of looking out a window. What a super creative project!! I've been nosing around on your blog and I love how you pull ordinary things together and make something extraordinary! Gina picked a real winner here!!
