(I know those pictures are hung too high. We usually have a massive t.v. on the dresser that I removed for the picture.)
Last month I was contacted by Cutting Edge Stencils to review one of their products. I was super excited and I knew exactly where I wanted to put it. I’ve always loved this wall with my bird prints but I wanted something behind it to make it even more dramatic. This Missing Link stencil did the trick!
Once I got the hang of it the stencil was really easy to use. It just took a lot of measuring and leveling. After I did this wall I wanted to do it in every room! Stenciling is a great way to give a high-impact effect without having to wallpaper. I did this wall in high-gloss paint so it has the sheen of wallpaper.
Cutting Edge Stencils is nice enough to give away any stencil up to a $40 value for one of you!
They have a great selection to choose from. Here are a few of my favorites:

I love the missing link stencil you used! That would definitely be my first choice.
I really like the Acacia Allover Stencil. This might just be the thing to motivate me to work on our guest bathroom. 🙂 Great giveaway! Thanks!
I love all of them but my fav has to be the Iron Gate Allover Stencil.
Following. Thanks again!
I am a follower of your blog!
I think I'd either choose the hourglass allover or the zinnias. What a great giveaway! Thanks!
I follow your blog, too.
i am a follower and i love the one on the left out of the 3. i can't remember the name… i always do that. go look, and thten blank on the name, but that's the one i heart most.
I love the ASPEN designer stencil. I would totally paint this and frame it in my home.
I am a follower and would love to try my hand at stenciling.
What a great selection of fabulous stencils. Hard to pick a favorite. Love the Damasque Wall Stencil.
As much as I love Missing Link or Trellis All Over… I think, due to my novice level of painting, sewing and overall craftiness, I should stick with something simple.. like the Hourglass All Over. I know just the wall I would do it on.
How I do love the idea of stencil on the wall. We are renters, so this is a great alternative to wallpaper!! 🙂
Fingers crossed!
What a neat site! I am having a hard time deciding — I love the versatility of the Hourglass stencil.
I have been following your blog for a few weeks 🙂
As I am so indecisive I will go with the Beautiful Birches large wall stencil.
Great giveaway!
It looks great! How long did it take you to finish?
I love the hourglass stencil! It's timeless.
I am in the process of making my own stencil….but would sure enjoy the HOUR GLASS ALL OVER STENCIL…how much easier would that be to just win one…PLEASE!!

I'm loving the Acacia, Trellis and Birch Tree allover stencils, and the Vine designer stencil. So many great choices!

Your wall looks so great! I've been itching to try a stencil, and would love the hourglass or maybe the diamond damask.
Definately the trellis!! On the back of a built in bookcase!
I actually love the missing link stencil. I have been wanting to stencil a wall forever, but I've been too scared to do it!!
[email protected]
I love the hourglass stencil and the Irongate Allover stencil…tough choice!!

Can I be a copycat? I love the Missing Link stencil. I just love that pattern and the simplicity of it!! I am a happy follower of your blog!!
Wow! Looks amazing!!
I would choose the Iron Gate Allover Stencil!
i've been dying to delve into a stencil project! i love how your wall turned out.
I was just considering buying one of those! This would be perfect!!
Follower!
I LOVE the houndstooth! This would look great in grey and white on one wall in my dining room!
I like the Damask stencils and "Aspen" by Diane Paparo Studio.
Ooo! I think I love the Anemone Stripe Stencil but I also really like the iron gate one, too!
I'd have a hard time choosing between the Trellis Allover and the Missing Link Allover, but I do know that I would do it in my hallway for a high impact change.
Pretty sure the "Aspen" by Diane Paparo Studio would be my choice! It was a hard choice though, there are so many cool ones!
I LOVE THIS! I would pick the hourglass allover stencil!
I like the Birch stencil, but it might be too much for the entryway walls I'm planning to do…so I'd probably end up with the trellis stencil.
I love the Acacia Allover Stencil!
Love your blog and totally love the stencil. I recently order the trellis stencil and having a hard time deciding which paint to use.
Did you paint your wall a different color before doing the stencil?
Love giveaway!!!
Already follow your blog!

My wall is painted Hazy Skies by Benjamin Moore and then for the stencil paint i used just a basic white in high-gloss.
You've sold me on the Missing Link stencil!

i have a powder room that could use some umph – this would be the perfect solution. i really enjoy the iron gate or missing link patterns.
i love the trellis ones – i've been wanting one like that for my entry walls!
I love the Iron Gate Allover Stencil, too. I would like to use it in my powder room to transform the space to fit in with the clawfoot tub and high ceilings. I think it would be perfect, and so much better than wall paper.
I have been dreaming of doing a stencil in my entryway, I think I'd go with the trellis. Love your stencil work, great call on the high-gloss paint! I'm a follower too 🙂
I would love to have the Hourglass Allover stencil to use in my dining room! So cute 🙂

How did you paint the stencil? Do you trace it, then paint, or paint with a foam roller while holding the stencil? I really want to try this but I'm scared I'm going to mess it up. Yours turned out great. and I'm already a follower.
I LOVE the Acacia all-over one.
Your new wall looks great!
I so want the Hourglass Allover stencil. LOVE IT!!

http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/allover-stencil-birch-forest.html?category_id=12
I actually looked at their stencils a couple weeks ago and have been dreaming of all I could do with the Trellis all over stencil!
I am a follower of your blog 🙂
I would get the trellis all over stencil and use it to paint my dresser.
Wow, these stencils look really good. I really like the Damask, but I am also intrigued by the other artwork that can develop on the walls! Beautiful!
I'm a follower
Do I get a 2nd entry too for being a blog follower? If so, again, the Damask is very pretty!
Definitely the Missing Link. I'd like to use it on our master bedroom closet doors.
I think I would choose either the Missing Link Allover or the Hourglass Allover. There are so many pretty ones.
I am following your blog!
I also tweeted about this giveaway!
It's a toss-up for me between Trellis and Irongate!
Oh, and I most definitely follow!
I think I'd actually choose the Missing Link one although there are a bunch of great ones!
Wow I love the idea of using gloss paint so it appears to be wallpaper! I love their "fresco" collection but the "trellis" stencil is so great! Thanks for the inspiration!
This is not for another entry form since I already put two.
But, I was browsing their site with the damask how-to and they link to another site w/ the work they've done. Amazing! IDK if you saw it yet.

Two of my favorites are hourglass and damask.
For sure the hourglass… Thanks!
I'd definitely go with the missing link stencil. So versatile!
So exciting! I love their stencils and have my eye on either the hourglass or the trellis. Stenciling is a lot of work but packs such a design punch, it's so worth it!
oh, and i'm now a follower!
Your wall looks fantastic! The best part about stencils is that you can paint over them in a fraction of the time it would take to remove wallpaper.
Just put this on my Facebook Fan Page.
What a great giveaway! I like the hourglass all over stencil!
Please pick me! I wanted to do this in my guest room for a few months already!
I am a follower!
What a great giveaway! I'm torn between the missing link you used and the allover trellis. I guess I can choose for sure when I win!(fingers crossed!) 🙂
Oh my goodness… I just found your blog (via Bryn) And I cannot believe the great timing, I've been slowing waiting for the right idea to come for a powder room in our rental and wallpaper just terrifies me (plus I don't think I could do it!) This is jus the answer! Thank you so much!
So I have to enter, even if I've never won a giveaway 😉 A girl's gotta try! the wall you did looks stunning – but there's something about that trellis that is really calling for this project! I love it!
Just started following your blog too. 🙂
i have been wanting there trellis stencil but i was afraid to order b/c didnt know how it would turn out! love how your room looks! soo cute
I've had my eye on the trellis for awhile now…now if the stars would just align in my direction that trellis and my wall would be a match made in heaven
Would love the trellis design!
Just followed – I read your blog almost every day!
I am actually about to cut my own stencil because I want something simple – much like the hourglass all over stencil. I'm about 0 for a billion with giveaways so my weekend project in two weeks is to stop procrastinating and just stencil already. I have a nook that my bed headboard fits in to that I'd like to add some pop to.
