Decorating with Stencils

Gold Raised Plaster leaves replace glitter fish to create an elegant bath

The decorating scheme in that house was frightening! Deep blue carpet, orange walls, slat board cupboards and purple toilets were what we have to deal with...

So I started in what I call the "glitter fish" bathroom. The former owner had stenciled brilliant fish on walls, glued seashells around them (yes, GLUED!), spread glue over the fish and literally sprinkled them with glitter!

I filled the slat-board cupboards with joint compound then sanded them smooth. I did a sponge effect of light and dark browns then added our new "Raised Plaster Floral Frieze" to the center of the door. After varnishing them, you can't tell they were once "farm" looking slat-board!

After the glitter fish were long gone and the walls re-painted cream color, I then plastered random maple leaves here and there, using the stencil to also stencil "painted" leaves. Every now and then, I replaced the stencil over one of the leaves and painted it brilliant gold.

Being a lover of "cast plaster molds", I molded my own "molding" and applied it above the very plain baseboards using joint compound as my "adhesive".

I crafted the shower topper from a wonderful piece of upholstery material I found at the thrift store for $10.00. I glued gold braid to it's edge, fashioned a drape of the same gold braid and slipped a tassel on to it right before I attached it to the inside top seam.

With the bath now finished, it's the only room I want to be in since I have 11 others yet to complete! (But won't it be a wonderful place to live when we are done!).
