I have to admit the word “stencil” has long given me the chills–until recently. I think my mind always flashed back to the days of my childhood when it was cool to stencil apples, ivy leaves or some other country motif on your wall (usually in the form of a border. . . ). You know what I’m talking about, right? (And, for those of you who still have those apples stenciled on your walls, I’m sorry and I have a solution.)
I’ve seen alot of really cool projects on design blogs lately where stencils have been used to create some beautiful rooms, without the high cost of designer wallpaper. It’s really a low cost solution for high-end style. I was recently introduced to the company Cutting Edge Stencils. They offer some amazing designs that replicate the look of expensive wallcoverings:
I know exactly where I’d put it! on my fireplace wall in my dining room.
thanks emily!

I swoon for the Casablanca all-over stencil!
Yes Please! Love the Casablanca and the Trellis.
I have been longing for the houndstooth stencil for a while. I just can’t bring myself to spend the money so close to the holidays.
Oh and I liked Cutting Edge on Facebook as well. I must have that houndstooth stencil. I’d sure hate to have to try and create one myself.
I love the simplicity of the hourglass, but if I were to do it, I think I would need to go all out with the Damask, maybe Birds of Paradise in my dining room.
My faves are the damask wall & the brocade no.1!
Wow, I love these stencils! So hard to pick a favorite, but I really love the Brocade #1 and a slew of others. Thanks for the chance to win!

Hmmm, I like the allover trellis, casablanca and irongate. I have been converting my junk room into a guest bedroom and it’s almost complete but needs something. This would make a great wall behind the bed. I also have a piece of furniture I’d like to try this on too!

I actually used the Iron Gate stencil (the very first one you have pictured) for my foyer. Its easy to use and I love the way it came out.
fyi, I also bought the level that clips onto the stencil….and I would probably save my money the next time around. It said the pattern was level, but was clearly not. I stopped using it after about ten minutes.
here’s what mine came out like:

Hard to choose – so lovely but it would have to be damask verde.
Love, love, LOVE the Casablanca Allover Stencil!
I have been swooning over Cutting Edge stencils for months now. I love the Casablanca stencil (for my pantry and master bedroom closet), and the trellis stencil (for a powder room, and possibly even some curtains?).

I love the Diamond Damask Stencil. It reminds me of the pattern in my dining room drapes and would look really cool on an accent wall in that room. I’d have to chip in my own $6.95 since it’s over $40, but I’m good with that! :)
Thanks for the giveaway!
