Well, I figured everyone has waited long enough. By the end, we had revised our plan 5 0r 6 times! We just couldn't decide on the right placement or which size of stencils to use. Fortunately if you don't like it, just get out the old paint brush, and you have a new canvas to work with again.
We intended all along to only stencil two walls and paint the remaining two a very soft shade of grey. The grey will happen over the next week I hope.
The interesting hanging lamp came from Ikea. It's leftover from Sara's old "funky" bedroom, but I love the soft glow it casts on the desk. We've seen this lamp in several movies. : )
So you notice how there's three stencils? As mentioned before, I cut out the biggest one myself but the two sizes of the other one came from JoAnn's. I thought they complimented each other very well. The mirror was from an antique store, but only cost me $50. It was a gold color, but I spray painted it the cream you see here.

Holy cow! That's beautiful!
You did such a fantastic job. If I tried to do that the stencils would be all crooked and wonky on the walls. You got them on in such straight perfect lines.
The colors are beautiful and so is the bedding. And that lamp! Oh that lamp! It's perfect. It's completely unexpected with the style and it works beautifully.
Thanks for sharing!
It looks really beautiful. You have a lot of great ideas and I'll be back to check out your blog again for sure! Have a great day.
WOW!!! that looks amazing! and something right out of a magazine. That looks like it took a lot of work. I love the Damask look.
All I can say is...GORGEOUS!!!
Wow! I absolutely LOVE those walls! Beautiful colors and stencils and I really like the mix of the different sizes. The whole room looks great. I love the French feel! I bet Sarah really likes it!
Give you a blank canvas and you create a fun, original, and functioning room or corner! You really have a knack, always have! ...Just some amazing visual samples of your engaging personality! ----Lauren
It looks so amazing! I'll bet Sara's enjoying it! :)
Oh, I didn't realize I hadn't left a comment yet. I'm sitting here showing it to the girls. Claire's comment was, "Oh it's so beautiful, I can't stop looking at it!"
It really is beautiful, and I can't wait to see it in person. I agree with Lauren, your style is just a reflection of your personality...creative, beautiful, and unique (the good kind;)). Bravo!
Oh my goodness, it looks fantastic!! It looks like a lot of painstaking work--but let me tell you, your hard work paid off because it is gorgeous!! Love, love, love it!

Your daughter's room is so pretty! What a lot of work you put into all those stencils...but totally worth it. So Frenchy French! And I love the mustard color on your walls...can't wait to see it when it is finished!
