Huge selection of classic stencils for elegant home decor.
An exciting announcement!
After living in New Mexico (closer to my family) for the past 5 years, I’ve decided that I’m not a desert girl after all.
I’m moving back to the state that I felt most at home in: Idaho.
So I’m on a new adventure!
The first order of business is to get this house totally in shape to sell in the spring.
I started off by hand painting the entire stucco house myself this summer. With that all done now, my focus is to do all the transplanting this fall and then this winter to work on the inside.
By April/May, I’ll list it then find my property in Idaho.
In the past 5 years, I’ve turned this acre of desert sand in a to a green oasis (unusual for this area). But it’s come out beautiful!
For instance, here’s the back yard when I moved in:
How it looks today:
The cute benches were made from scrap lumber and all the cushions covered in the same cheery fabric.
What a lovely place to relax with the sound of the water to soothe you.
My point for telling you all of this is that with a vision, you can turn your own home in to the home of your dreams in so many ways. Don’t let anything stop you.
Though I will sell this house, I know that the new owner will enjoy the fruits of my labor, and the really cool thing? I get to take all I’ve learned here and make my next home my “forever palace”.
Subtle Beauty With Plaster Stencils
Kathy Frates loves beauty, Kathy Frates loves dramatic decorating. But she’s also someone who loves the elegance of “tone on tone” She achieved that with our Raised Plaster Frilly Acanthus Stencil
At the staircase in her home, there was a blank wall. Not a fitting place for a simple painting, but screaming for something wonderfully ornamental.
So she plastered the design and then painted over it with rich, chocolate paint.
All I can say is “Wow!”. This wall changed instantly from plain to beautifully elegant!
Simply painting over a raised stencil design gives you the look of embossed wallpaper. (You know, that highly expensive stuff!). So give it a try. Whether it’s on walls, furniture or ceilings, you’ll be amazed at the results!
A Stenciled Stone Wall that’s So Cute!
Teri Chappel loves updated and modern and being the creative woman she is, she did a bang up job decorating this wall to achieve just that!
Using our Raised Plaster Stacked Stone Stencil, Teri used common joint compound with the stencil to create the stone wall. Joint compound dries pure white so there’s no need for painting or adding color to the compound in this case. Just be sure to pre-paint your wall the color you want the stone grout to be. In this case, the wall was pre-painted gray first.
What a perfect background to the adorable safety pin wall hangings!
Super job Teri!
Plaster Stencils for Beautiful Cabinets
Pam Findley was (and I mean “was”) like most of us. Construction grade cabinets in her kitchen and she wanted more. More I say! More!
And she got it!
She used our Raised Plaster Companion Vines Stencil to create beautiful raised vines on those plain cabinets.
She used the large vine stencil at the fascia board and then the smaller design on each of the doors, flipping and mirroring the design on each door.
I love the country finish she used for the cabinets, but she didn’t mention how she did it. Either way, it was quite an upgrade to those cabinets. Great job Pam!
Spring is here! Dress up your outdoor decor with stencils and artwork
We’ve always been all about decorating the inside of our homes. But what about the outside?
There are many ways to use stencils and your own creative artwork to add your personality to outdoor spaces.
I love decorating with raised plaster stencils. They create a raised design on anything you put them on! Whether you want to add an elegant design to planter boxes,
Or make over an old garden tool shed,
Plaster stencils give you dimensional beauty!
On this shed door, I combined plaster branches from our Raised Plaster Pine Tree Stencil Set with pine cones from the included plaster molds to give it a woodsy look.
Just about any surface can be embellished with your own art or stenciling.
Here, Lynn Low used her own hand painted art to create an interesting mural on her block wall surrounding her pool.
Simple acrylic paint was used to create the tree, vines, bushes and urn full of plants. Where you don’t have artistic skills, that’s where stencils come in!
So before “living outdoors” once again takes place, take a look around your exterior to see what you can make prettier with a bit of art.
Exterior surfaces that can be stenciled:
Deck rails
Concrete walkways and patio floors
Planter boxes
Block walls
Wooden fences
Garden pots
Porch posts and floors
