Stenciled Walls
Thursday, 8. July 2010
Here is a room that I did for my daughter when she was five. She wanted a garden room. We found a stencil with dragonflies, butterflies, and lots of flowers. I painted a base coat of a soft peach and then I drew a straight line with a level all the way around the room. I lined the stencil up with my line and attached it to the wall with tape (they also make an adhesive spray for stencils). I used stencil paints and brushes for this job. There were three different stencils in the kit I bought. The first one was grass and some of the flowers. I used slightly darker colors on the first stencil as this was supposed to be background. The second stencil was more flowers, a bumblebee and a dragonfly. I used lighter tones of paint on this one because it was foreground. The third stencil was a butterfly. This one I placed randomly above the stencil. When I was done stenciling I went back and added highlights to some of the flowers and grasses. We found a sheer panel for the window that had dragonfly and butterfly appliques to help continue the look.
