See how easy this stenciled entryway was to create!
The goal for the entryway was to brighten it up and make an inviting statement. It is the first room guests see when entering the house. I painted the room a pale gray and used an even paler gray for the stencil. We found the stencil at Royal Design Studio. It is the Marrakech Medallion Stencil.
It mimicked the glass pattern on the entryway doors, so it was a perfect match.
^Here’s a before…
…and after!
I stenciled the entire room, and once I was done with the full stencil, I cut the stencil into two pieces – one was about 1/3 of the stencil while the other was 2/3. This allowed me to easily stencil some medallions that “ran off” off the wall. I did this along the baseboard, ceiling, and around the doorways. My goal was to make it look like wallpaper (but without the commitment).

The room looks completely different thanks to a little paint – and a stencil! Go create something!

GORGEOUS! Can you give me the name of the color you painted the walls?
Thanks Felicia! I left the paint cans at the friend’s house, but I will find out.
I’m in love. I actually painted my living room the same color and I love the stencil. Beautiful job!
Thanks so much, Karen! I checked out your blog, and it was fun seeing what you’re up to. I love connecting with other DIYers!
Wow! What a beautiful change! Did you plan where you were going to put the stencils, or did you just do it randomly? I’m too lazy to plan…but afraid to do it random. lol
I just did it randomly – very randomly! Absolutely no planning – I just went for it! If you mess up, you can all repaint. 🙂
