For the Love of a Stencil

So get ready ladies I am about to take on another project! Does it ever stop?? I am guessing not but, my husband would love to hear you say it does ha!  I am going to stencil our half bath :) I have always loved the stenciled look, and have always wanted to try it out, so what the hay I am going to give it a shot. If I totally screw it up and it looks like shit at least it's the crapper :)

So here are some inspiration photos I love




Now for your help, which do you love best??

1.


 2.



3.

Keep in mind the background will be a very light tan, almost white. And the stencil will be in the color I choose.


PS  Tomorrow I will share pictures of our fabulous trip to Beaufort!

    I like the first one, and it looks like it may be the least labor-intense - ?

    I just got a stencil but I think I'm going to use it for drapes. My husband has put a ban on my wall-painting days.

    I really, really like the stencil look. I think it would look great in a bathroom where it's not too overwhelming. Can't wait to see it!

    #3! And check out Jones Design Company blog, she stenciled her office and I think gives a tutorial or two. Can't wait to see it and pics from Beaufort.

    I like #1. It reminds me of that pattern I see everywhere these days.

    I can't wait to see the outcome. I've recently looked into stencils, textured wall papers, and just wall paper in general- in designs very similar for my dinning room. I love all three, but if I had to pick I think I like the second one best!
