Stencil-Room with a View



“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 taped the stencil directly on the wall with blue painters tape, just like in the instructional video, along with written instruction and lots of Q&A's


I ordered the stencil and the roller, and I had them in a couple days, they provided super fast shipping.


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!


I will be adding more stenciling in the bathroom and other areas, that's the nice thing about stencils, you can use them over and over again! And Cutting Edge Stencils are of such a high quality I know it'll last forever!






Leave me a note and let me know you were here, and I would love it if you wanted to follow along!

  3. 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.
    Blessings, Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures

  11. So 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.
