Stenciling used to conjure up images of parochial folk-art and less-than chic patterns of leaves and grape-vines. Not any more. Stenciling is making a comeback in the latest decor trends and proves to be simple enough for both decorators and amateurs alike. I’m pretty comfortable with a paintbrush, but I’ve never stenciled a pattern onto a wall. That’s all about to change because our little powder bath downstairs is desperately needing an artistic makeover. Unlike wallpaper, paint is easy to change your mind on, and a fraction of the cost. Are you itching to add a little character to your casita? Here are some ideas to get you started. Pick one for me to do while you’re at it!

Great idea for the master bath in my new (to me) house. Wallpaper in it is way outdated, and I’ve been contemplating whether to paint or repaper.
I’d love to see it if you do this in your bath!
So pretty! But alas, I know I wouldn’t have the patience to do such fine work

You crack me up. I dare you….
I’m loving all of them, but my mod’ish side especially loves the second one. I can’t wait to see what you do with the bath. It will look great. Give me a stenciled wall any day over wallpaper…
Ahh, yes. Isn’t that the same pattern that I used for your apron?
Great ideas! If it’s a small powder bath…. I think I like the second or last one because of the smaller print! I would love to do this to my bathroom that needs remodeling! Let’s see if Dominic likes it! /images/smilies/icon_wink.
Oops! I’m not sure what happened to my wink! However, I just had a thought about size! If the print is larger, and it fits, it will make the room feel bigger!!
Good point, Joy! I do like the idea of a grander pattern. Thanks for the input!
