Stencils used in design are everywhere – and I’m not talking about rooster borders around the tops of kitchens. Stencils can be simple or dramatic, and can embellish anything that you can paint on! What’s wonderful about them is that stenciling is something that you can do yourself at home for very little money.
Here are some beautiful examples of stenciled work:

I am loving all your crafty decor posts. I’m so glad stencil has evolved. Stenciling used to remind me of the fruit or ivy borders that were so popular in Southern homes. These examples are so much more interesting and chic.

Thanks for posting some of my work, Rachel, and helping to spread the word about how cool and versatile stenciling can be. It’s a constant battle trying to break down the preconceived notions people have. Love your other examples as well!!
