Decorating with Stencils

Little Vignettes make the biggest impact.

 Brenda Olstad obviously loves gardens. Rich with flowers, cute little elements and fountains.

Here, she created an adorable setting against a stenciled white picket fence with blooming flowers of various styles and winding vines.

In a similar setting, she's stenciled garden boots next to pots and flowers and a cute little stenciled garden trowel.

Below, a garden fountain graces an exposed brick wall with vines trailing over the wall.

Simple vignettes like this are easy to achieve by beginning with the background elements (the wall or the fence), then adding things in the foreground (flowers, the fountain, vines, etc).

You needn't do an entire, grand mural in order to have elements of a mural in spaces like the corner of a room, at the edge of a doorway, above the kitchen sink where no window exists, or over the stove.

Sometimes, it's the simple vignettes like these that actually carry the most impact. You get to decide the colors and the placement. It's fun!

Thank you Brenda!
