I want to do this in my powder room. It looks easy enough but want to hear from the BTDT crowd.

I have. It was actually pretty easy. I made sure I cleaned off the stencil pretty often to make sure paint didn't bleed thru. I used the tea-house-trellis-allover-stencil-pattern stencil for the walls.

This is gorgeous.

Thank you. It's for my home office. I sit and stare at it way too much. Lol.

This is absolutely critical and your office is beautiful!

what is your background color? My home office is painted a similar color.

What are both colors and where did you get your stencil?

I can't remember the color I picked - it's an Olympic color matched to Benjamin Moore. The color is the same for both. The wall color is a matte finish and the stencil is gloss. I added a little bit of white to the stencil color to provide a little contrast to the wall color.

The stencil is from cutting edge stencils.

Thank you all very much. This gives me something to think about.

that's really nice - and yeah - it gives me something to think about in my tiny boring basement bathroom.

That is beautiful. I really want to do something similar to wall behind our bed.

I did the entry nook in our last house.  I used a cutting edge stencil and it wasn't too bad.  I got a TON of compliments. I'm not sure I would do a much bigger space than this if I ever do it again.

Young House Love stenciled the office in their last house. It was really pretty, and Sherry had good tips (as I remember) in getting the edges done right. Getting into the corners is tricky and takes some patience.
