reader re-do: jen’s amazing stenciled wall

To say I’m impressed with our very own Fresh Face, Jen Jones’s (from IHeart Organizing) stenciled wall is a huge understatement.

When I saw her post, I thought, oh Jen stenciled part of her wall. Oh, no, folks. She stenciled the entire wall. And bowl me over, she did. I’m in love.

Let me back up a bit. Here was Jen’s room before:

It was a blank slate she wanted to fill, and the Zamira allover stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils would do just the trick. Armed with a small stencil level and painter’s tape, Jen went to work:

She used Glidden non-tinted white flat paint:

After just one hour, I’m already impressed:

A small craft brush was perfect to paint the corner details just right:

After only four hours, it was time to remove the tape:

Voila: Finished!

See? I told you. Very impressive. I’m not sure I have the patience for this, but the result is too impressive to not give it a shot. Be sure to check out Jen’s blog, IHeart Organizing, for even more details how she pulled off this project. Great job, Jen!
