Accent Wall Stenciling & A Giveaway!


I'm so excited that our house is coming along, but so many rooms need more work. I'm in LOVE with the colors we chose for our room and the darker accent wall color, but knew that I wanted some design, stripes or art to dress it up. See how you couldn't even really tell it was a darker color than the other walls?


Enter Cutting Edge Stencils! Sure, you could spend 50,000 hours hand-drawing a design or spent $400 for wallpaper, but if you want a grand look on a budget, stenciling is where it's at. Their products are of high quality and they have tons and tons of adorable designs. WIN!

Don't these ideas just make you want to try your hand at it?


The total wall probably took me a total of 4 hours over two days. The first few blocks took a while, but once you're used to doing it, it moves quickly! I watched about 4 of their tutorials online to ensure I was fully educated on how to best utilize the stencils and recommend you do the same once you order yours.

But really, it's as easy as tape, paint, move the stencil and paint some more. I fell in love with the Hourglass Allover Stencil.

Funky lighting made it look green.
Sure, if you get up really close to it, there are some imperfections, but that's somewhat the beauty of stenciling. Plus, as you're going, you can use a baby wipe to remove any and all smudges that bug you!

Don't you think it looks FAB now?

And yes, I'm aware that I left a couple inches at the top... crown molding goes in this week!


Anywhoo....the lovely people from Cutting Edge wanted to give away something to one lucky reader!
