Giveaway Weekend!

Hello there and happy weekend to you! And you! ;)

I have another fantastic giveaway for you this weekend! Whooo!

I’ve had a thing for stencils for awhile now – I mean, I’ve got a whole tab dedicated to them. :) They have become quite hip of late though – and the folks at Royal Design Studio are surely keeping up with the times:

Royal Design Studio

I love stencils because you get a custom look, like wallpaper, but without the wallpaper fuss. I used a stencil as an accent in our family room years ago:

stenciled molding box

And when I was ready for a change, I just painted right over it. Wallpaper is just a tad more difficult to change up. ;)

I found a few favorites at Royal Design Studio and had to share them with you – and most of these are some of their latest designs!

This French poem typography is stunning:

script stencil

How beautiful would that be in bedroom, or on a wall in a dressing room (for the luckies with a dressing room) or a closet? I love that it’s so unique!

This modern trellis design is oh-so-hip:

I love how versatile it is! It’s sophisticated, but done on one wall or maybe within frames made of molding, it could work with just about any decor.

I’m a traditional girl at heart, so the Acanthus Trellis is right up my alley:

3

Oh, that is LOVELY!

The bamboo look is SO in right now, and I’m loving the white on yellow design on the right:

Royal Design Studios stencils

I think that would look FAB in a powder room. Hmmm…our powder room is waiting for it’s redo and this gives me an idea. ;)

But the bamboo may have to fight with the Lisboa Tile stencil for a spot in our powder room:

tile stencil

I am smitten with this one. Wowza – I love it! Looks like they used three tones of the same paint to get this result, so it would take some patience! But the result is amazing.

All of the Royal Design Studio “allover” and damask stencil patterns have an easy stencil registration system that allows you to repeat these stencils across your wall with ease.

I’ve seen quite a few bloggers use them and all have mentioned they were great to work with.

And don’t forget – stencils aren’t just for walls! You can use them on trays:

stencil on tray

Or on the backs of bookcases, insets on cabinet doors, countertops, or even on the floor! The possibilities are truly endless!

So the GREAT news is that one of you will get $50 to use as you wish at Royal Design Studios!

Here’s how to enter:

1. Leave a comment here. What UP?

I met you(r blog) less than a week ago and I am pretty sure I have managed to read every post since then! It's hot here...not moving much... Through you I have now also met Pinterest, and we have become great friends.

I have been searching for ideas for a teeny weeny outdated bathroom, and was already familiar with the RDS site, so how EXCITING to get a chance to win something! I am completely undecided but my current favorites are the Chinois and the Hampton Corner. If I win will you come to my house and decide for me?
