Our house is always a work in progress as houses should be. It wouldn't be any fun if you ever actually "finished" a room, right? There has been an empty wall space above our bed for a few years now. I have thought of different ideas, but never settled on anything.
This is a real life "before" picture. I went into our bedroom Sunday afternoon and took a picture "as is" complete with an Avery drawing, baby monitor, burp cloth, and the un-made bed. I am not a bed maker. Wish I was. I am not. I digress.
BEFORE |
We have talked to you multiple times about Cutting Edge Stencils. They are so much fun and such a quick and easy way to liven up a space. I chose to use the same white paint as I did on the large tree in our "loft" area. I used DecoArt's Designer Series All-Purpose Home Decor Acrylic. I love white. Who doesn't, right?
I chose the Peony Grande Flower Stencil this time. I got it level and taped on the wall ready to go. I painted one coat...
And then two. I removed the stencil and was very happy with the results...
Ah, finally, a special something to fill that blank wall space.
And the {very staged} "after" picture...
AFTER |

ReplyDeleteI'm an avid fan and follower of lemon tree creations!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely without a doubt choose the birch trees. I have been eyeing them for weeks. I am due in March with baby #2 and this little gal is getting her very own birch tree wall!
ReplyDeleteAfter spending the last 20 minutes browsing the site...I'd have to say I like the Allium Twins Flower stencil the best. I have the same problem...nothing above the bed. This may be a solution!!
ReplyDeleteOh my oh my....
ReplyDeleteI have been a follower for a while and LOVE your blog.
Love what you did with the one above your bed. Simple and classy!
If I had to pick just one (hard to do) I think I would go with the Sycamore Spreading Branch Stencil. We just bought a new house and this would be perfect in my only, but very under decorated guest bedroom. I am imagining the colors now... ohlala.
Blog love always,
Kate

I checked out the stencils at Cutting Edge Stencils. There were several in the nursery section that I liked, but I think my favorite was bird on a branch. I'm not sure where I would use it, but the bathroom would be a strong possibility...I've already got a browns and blues bird theme going there and think the stencil would fit well.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Damask stencil. I wanna win!!!

Just saying...good choice!

I'm a follower AND I adore the Falling Leaf stencil. We just painted our downstairs family room and I did a great re-do of some old black & white prints - think, Spanish moss covered oaks...I think these would be a lovely addition to that room! And, since the paint supplies are already spread all over the floor.... ;)

ReplyDeletejessicaberger80@gmail.com
Definitely a follower!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should just list my faves... there are so many! It seems like maybe no one should tell my husband I drool over this site... he might block it/my debit card! At this moment if I had to choose one it would be the large paisley sari wall art... but then I like everything branch-y too! Oh and the butterflies!!! eeesh....
ReplyDeleteI am offically a follower now!
ReplyDeleteLove ya'll ideas!
AH! So many!
ReplyDeleteOkay I would love to use one of the ceiling medallions on the space over our stair way. You notice it as soon as you walk in and when in the living room. OR one of the tree branches in my guest bath. It would match so well and get it depth. I think Sakura and Birds or Sycamore Spreading Branch would look great!
I'm a new follower. Love the site - very informative!
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to choose, but I think the Fleur de Lis stencils would look great in my French Quarter themed bedroom.

ReplyDeleteAfter searching through the website I had a really tough time deciding what I liked the best. I really love the idea of a painted wall paper, such as the Casablanca Allover Stencil. But what really caught my eye was the Magnolia Wall Art Stencil. I will soon be re-doing my guest room bathroom, and am going for a "cottage" type feel. I think the Magnolia Stencil would look perfect above the white claw foot bath tub. Thanks for turning me on to the Stencil idea!
ReplyDelete1- HI! I am a daily LTC follower! Thanks for all of your great ideas!
ReplyDelete2- I have been wanting the Casablanca Allover stencil for a long time...even asked for it for Christmas, but didn't get it! Thanks for the opportunitiy to win it...it's not a "need", so I'm trying to go without it...but I really do want it! HA! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI'm really drawn to the Casablanca all over stencil. My plan would be to use it in the same color as my formal dining room, but in glossy. The contrast would be just enough to create a VERY dramatic affect! Love it!
