I could envision exactly what I wanted to do on my dd’s wall. The wallpaper I have seen that was almost exactly what I wanted. The color and price was what was holding me back (like $250/roll!…..eeek).
Soooo, when budget and or design is not exactly right, that is when some of my most creative projects are born. A while back I had purchased a damask stencil. I initially tried this with traditional wall paint, and it was too thin, and would require more than one coat….no good. I got out my Annie Sloan Provence chalk paint (which was the exact color I was going for) and stenciled the walls. The nice thing about the ASCP is that it is thick and the coverage is good. It was quite a long process, but worth it. Here’s the before:
And here are the afters with the fabric I will be using in her room:
Will have more to share on her room reno complete with tutorial on a wall mural I painted very soon!
Thanks for dropping by.

That is awesome. I love the stencil and can’t wait to see the entire room. Thanks for sharing at DIYbyDesign.
That is really really beautiful! Amazing what can be accomplished with paint and some hard work when you want to create a look without the pricetag! Great job!
Ohhh, Ahhh, I love that stencil and the color you chose. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m visiting from Restored It Wednesday. Won’t you come by and share at my party Totally Transformed Tuesday? I love to have you. Hope to see you there. Peggy
Your stencil is beautiful! So much easier to apply than paper.And when you are tired of it just paint over it!

Great point Anne. I hadn’t thought of that, but it would be much easier to paint over than remove paper!
Your project is absolutely beautiful! I would love to do something like that in my dining room.

I love the color! Great pattern choice!

Hi Leanne,
I was not able to respond to your email because you have the “no reply” thing going on. I can tell you how to fix it if you want. You are welcome for the feature, and yes you may use my table
That wall stencil is amazing by the way!
Wow, $250 a roll, that would be about a thousand dollars for the
room…. your idea makes much more sense and I bet it will
look wonderful! best of luck
Sandy

Wow, that stenciled wall is just gorgeous, the color choice is fabulous! The room is turning out beautifully, can’t wait to see it completed. I am thinking of stenciling a wall so can’t want to see the tutorial also. My fingers are crossed that you’ll share your creativeness over at Sundays’ Best going on right now – sharing is a good thing! Ps – now following you on Facebook!
Tickled pink you join the party. I just love this, the stencil design is beyond gorgeous, really. I really love the color. Can’t wait to see the whole room. So glad you shared your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped create a successful party!
This is SO pretty! The color, the pattern, everything! It came out so well! Thank you so much for sharing this at my Throwback Thursday party, Leanne! I’m so happy to have you party with me! When I clicked on the link to visit you, the link didn’t work though and unfortunately the party is closed so we can’t fix it! But I would LOVE to have you come by this week and link it up again! And anything else you want to share! This is so gorgeous and I don’t want anyone to miss out!
Beautiful and frugal at the same time! I have been looking for a stencil like this for a while to no avail… where did you get the stencil?
I love this!! Just saw it featured on Sunday’s Best facebook page and it immediately reminded me of the bag I just got this month! I love the design and the colors! Great job!!
