I've been wanting to add a damask stencil somewhere in the house
and decided to place some around the mirror over the sofa.
The stencil is taped in place with painters tape.
This is a stencil called Brocade from The Crafters Workshop
that I found on Overstock.com
I placed them around the mirror to create my pattern.
If I didn't like it, I was going to paint right over it.
Turned out I liked it~a lot! This was the perfect spot for a little extra detail.
I used matte white craft paint and applied it with a dry brush and a pouncing motion.
It is feminine and pretty without overpowering the room.
This stencil cost $15 and is a 12"x12" size,
a good buy compared to other stencils I checked out.
This was an easy project that only took an hour.
If you are looking for a little pizazz to add to your space, think stencil!

Looks nice Amy. I've been thinking about trying some stenciling. I just can't make up my mind what and where.
It's lovely Amy! Adds a real touch of elegance!

Very pretty Amy. I always love coming over here to see what you've been up to.
That is really gorgeous. I love damask and it looks so soft and romantic on your walls. I am hosting a link party that opens tonight at 8pm EST. Hope you drop by and link up this post.
Amy, The stencil is perfect in your room and it looks gorgeous! You know what a fan I am of your style and I would love to feature your home in my new party starting 3/17. Check out my latest post for details.

I love the added touch! So soft and pretty looking.
i just love the stencil and it looks so good in your living room. Could you tell me the color you have on your walls? I am having my living room painted and it is fairly dark in there, only one double window. I'm looking for something to lighten it up but not look harsh.
Oooh! I love it!
So gorgeous! I really enjoyed my visit to your beautiful blog. Wishing you happiness, Katherine
That turned out so delicate and lacy, I also love how your wallpapered hutch turned out! Bravo!!!

Looks so pretty, Amy. Yes, that is a GREAT buy compared to many. I think the damask stencil in my hallway nook is around $50/$60.
What an eye you have to snag that gorgeous stencil. I'd give anything to have that brain of yours!
Looks great!
Amy, just gorgeous! I have been looking at stencils for a powder room and the stencils I have seen aren't as pretty as yours nor have they been $15. What a perfect touch for a beautiful room.
Not only do I adore the stencil, but I love that lamp shade!
This whole room is beautiful!
really pretty Amy!! I've been wanting to do a stencil project in my powder bath- I will definitely need to check out your source! Great project.
