Donna O'Callahan purchased our Raised Plaster Life-sized Palm Tree Stencil then used it to cleverly frame a wall in her New Jersey home.

Smart artist that she is, she has "uplights" on the floor that in the evening will shine up on to the trees giving them a warm glow. I love uplights and use them on my own Raised Plaster Aspen Tree wall designs in my own home.

I can just imagine how gorgeous this looks with the furniture back in place! Here's what Donna said about the stencil project:

Hi Victoria, 

 

     I have done a number of interior design projects and home remodels, but the first time I used one of your products was on my latest project.  I used your Raised Plaster Life-sized Palm Tree on the wall of my home overlooking the Raritan Bay in New Jersey.  The stencil went tremendously well with the rest of the homes tropical and nautical themes.  As you can see I chose to leave it white, as the wall was painted in “Goose Down” and “Bar Harbor Beige”, and the natural plaster color blended well with those restrained shades.  I think it turned out very well.   I was very impressed with the quality of your product and fast response of your company. 

                Sincerely,

Donna O’Callahan

Designer's Tip: To make your tree project go faster, use our "skip" method when applying the trunk.

Do the first, repeat, skip the second, do the third and so on. Since the joint compound must dry between repeats, jumping past the next repeat allows you to continue on.

Once the first repeats are dry, simply go back and use the stencil again to fill in the missing repeats. Begin adding side branches to any portions that are dry and continue on with your tree construction.

How to stencil with joint compound

You'll be pleasantly surprised!

Remember that any of our plaster stencils can also be used with paint!
