He held the stencil and I used a foam roller to apply the paint. It went pretty fast. We finished both walls in under 2 hours.

I started freaking out on the first row and thought maybe the Polar Bear White was too bright but decided to keep going. Now I love it.
I'm thinking I need something on either side of the green frames but I don't know what. Something wood tone.
Please ignore my unfinished table. I'm going to paint the base a light gray and sand down the top and either stain it lighter or a mahogany color.

Hi - I'm a new follower. I love the stenciling! It is beautiful - gives me some inspiration for my dining room. I like the wood tone idea or some matching iron pieces on the sides of the frame. I started looking at your blog in the summer and love all of your ideas. I especially love your laundry room. I just started a blog this week and would love new followers.

I thought I was looking at wallpaper. It really gave the dining room some personality. Nice job!

Wow! I love that look and it's not wallpaper! How did you prevent it from bleeding underneath the stencil? That is my biggest problem and the biggest reason why I haven't pursued it.
Wow! It looks like classic wallpaper, but if you ever want to redo it (what you?? Never!) you don't have to go through the *headache* of taking down wallpaper!
That looks amazing! I'd love to see it sometime.. hint, hint ;)
great job on the stenciling! I'm not so good at that. Ya'll did good. Glad the fella helped!

Love this and can't believe you finished it so quickly. Nice look.
gorgeous!!! love the wall stencil- it's soft yet makes a big impact. nicely done!
STUNNING! I need to do some stenciling... such a transformation. I'm putting it in the PoPP Spotlight this weekend.
Hi - can you give us a tutorial? What kind of stencil did you use? How did you prevent it from bleeding? Any other tips? I'm thinking about stenciling a room too!
very nice stenciling job.
I've been wanting to do something similar on my dining wall-- only instead of a stencil I have a stamp/sponge cut-out. You've inspired me to just do it!
I'll let you know when I do.
Wow! The slenciling looks fabulous! I can't believe you did it in less than 2 hours! I can't wait to look around your blog.
