I See London Fog

It's done! It's done! I can hardly believe it!
I'm thrilled with the outcome!
I decided to just stencil the stairway
I think if I would have done all 4 walls it would have been overkill.
This was one looooooooong project.
Between driving the kids to and from school, helping with homework, cooking, cleaning and daily life this took days to complete.
The weather didn't help much either!
Here's a picture of what it looked like before:
I was initially going to paint it the color you see there in the middle section...
And now:
I'm already thinking of my next stencil project, master bedroom or my princess' room?
Now to decorate these barewalls...

Here's my stencil review:
I will definitely be buying another stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils, the stencil was very easy to use and to CLEAN! I must have washed/rinsed it over 20 times and every time I did, clean up was EASY! My stencil is still in perfect condition, no rips or tears!
The top stencil was very convenient. You will need it for the top of your project!
The clip on level was super helpful! I think its a good purchase to buy it along with your stencil if your thinking about buying one.  If you've got OCD like me you will thank me for it!
Do not expect to be done with a project this size in a day.... if you want it to look nice you will definitely be taking a few breaks!
Their instructional video was extremely helpful (so please make sure you take advantage of their free video! If you follow it, your project will have a great turnout!
Here's how you can win a $50.00 credit (plus free shipping) towards your purchase of a Cutting Edge Stencil.
(Followers only please)
Please don't forget to leave me a way to track you back! I'm so excited to share this giveaway with you! Giveaway is open until February 22, 2012.

  50. I'm a little jealous that you have a staircase. There's something about stairs that makes a place seem larger to me. :)
