Check out how Kelly stenciled her bathroom floor: She first began by cleaning it well and removing any residue. She then applied 1-2 coats of a bonding paint primer with a paint roller. After that dried, she applied a coat of Behr Porch and Patio Floor Paint in Dove White.

She chose to stencil our large Parlor Lace Stencil Sherwin Williams Paint in Rainwashed for the pretty pattern, making sure to off-load the excess paint from the stencil brush first so that the paint wouldn’t bleed under the stencil. There are registration marks built right into the stencil that helped her stencil one repeat and reposition the stencil to the next repeat. To stencil the corners, Kelly bent the durable stencil to make it fit cleanly in those areas.
