Decorating Ideas with Plaster Stenciling

Luscious Walls filled with color and style

Using our Raised Plaster Grapevine and Mold Stencil Set, she first faux finished her wall to a soft, warm beige with cream color. That provided the perfect backdrop to an arch of 3 dimensional grapes, vines and leaves.

The grapes were cast from our mold with plaster of paris then painted varying colors and depths of reddish purple, soft pink and blue/purple. I love that! The colors are magnificent and really show off that "artists" touch.

Ah...but look closer (click photo to enlarge)...is that just a touch of metallic gold I see gracing some of the grapes?

Check out the leaves. Rather than simply painting them a solid color, it appears she "glazed" them with green glaze (achieved by simply mixing green paint with translucent wall glaze) so that the depth of color varied through out each leaf, but then she also added a bit of her brown tone wall color to the leaves as well. And yes, I do see a little of the same metallic gold added to them as well.

It's people like Cara that we wind up learning little tricks from that give our wall stenciling designs that extra punch of creativity. It's those little tricks that set our walls apart from the masses and makes them unique, truly beautiful and so easy to live with.

Designers tip:

By keeping your colors less vivid, more subdued and varied this way, helps to create a design that you don't tire of easily. I'm sure this creative wall will be part of Cara's home for years and years to come!
