Stenciled Accent Wall

After Erin debuted her craft-room wall stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils a few weeks ago, I couldn't help but get caught up in a stenciling frenzy. I decided that what my living room makeover really needed was an accent wall, and I found just the right stencil over at Cutting Edge. For my first stenciling project, I took on their Allover, Hourglass Stencil. I loved it! Please check out my step by step picture tutorial, and be sure to stop back by tomorrow as I review this awesome product and do a giveaway for your very own stencil from Cutting Edge.

Take a look at the before and after: Can you believe how 'blah' it looked before?

This project was quick and easy. It took us about 2 hours from set up to tear down. Here is how we did it:

1) Tape the stencil in place. After you level it once, it levels itself the rest of the way through!

2) Roll over the stencil with a great foam roller from Cutting Edge to acheive your desired darkness.

3) Use the built in leveling tools to do it all over again, until you've covered your wall!

4) Admire how quick and easy the project was.

I really do love how clean the lines came out. We chose a very geometric pattern, and it seems to give our living room just the boost it needed! We also used a semi gloss paint, and I love the way the light bounces off the accent at night. Even my husband is in love with this project, which means it is a real keeper!

I'll be linking to these parties this week, so be sure to stop by and join me.
