Stenciling Ideas for Backs of Bookcases with Small Moorish Trellis Stencil from Royal Design Studio

Honey Sweet Home undertook a drab to fab hutch makeover that incorporated our Small Moorish Trellis Stencil that upped the glam quotient considerably.  The stenciling was done with metallic craft paint that shimmers charmingly. If you'd like that effect as well, we recommend the Royal Stencil Cremes.

Our friend Michele Hiley from Stiltskin Studios is a stenciling pro! She frequently uses our stencil patterns to adorn her furniture makeovers and this stenciled hutch transformation is no exception.  She wanted to keep this particular piece "neutral, soothing and beautiful" and so she used Pure White Chalk Paint® decorative paint by Annie Sloan for the body along with the Bronze Age Stencil Creme and our Springtime in Paris Lettering Stencil for the backing. Gorgeous!

Stencils are also perfect for shelved walls that are crying out for pattern and color! Customer Beth Ehrensberger said that this was an easy and inexpensive upgrade -- the shelving, the cabinet installation and the stenciled wall were all done in one evening!  Beth says, "All of the contractors I've had coming through the house, working on my kitchen renovation, have loved the design and couldn't believe it was a stencil. The stenciling is my favorite part of the kitchen (and that's not because it involves coffee)!"  We love it, too, Beth!
