This project I had been planning for over a year. That's right, over a year and a half to be exact. I only started to work on it a few weeks ago though. It just took that long for me to find the right design, and have some extra time in between naps, feeding a toddler, taking care of my husband and house, and all of the other things that come with being a stay at home mom. (Don't get me wrong, though. I wouldn't change what I do for anything ever.)
Anyway, I found this template from here. I just printed it off, cut it out. Then I decided that it would take waaaaay to long to do with that itty bitty thing, so I traced it onto a 12 x 12 paper, then cut that out.

| This is what my room looked like when we bought our condo, this pic was taken with our crappy camera so you can't get the full effect of the ugliness that was this particular color of yellow-ish-p |
 |
| Here is my stencil all cut out, you'll notice that it got ripped by a certain little boy... I just taped it, and it worked just fine. |
 |
| I love the grey color on my walls, but it was just so boring, remember I have been living with BLANK walls for a year and a half, I seriously needed some decorating rehab. |
 |
| Make sure to use a level, otherwise, your stencil will turn a bit, and then make your wall looked like it is bending, you don't want that... |
 |
| Here it is, all penciled on! |
 |
| If you must stop, make sure that you feather the paint off, so it doesn't leave a line in the paint. I am OCD about stuff being straight, and pretty much perfect, so that really bothers me. |
 |
| Oh how I love the finished project. Imagine artwork of some kind on the wall, then a bunch of pillows on the bed, and hopefully I can get those little babies done soon! |
