| If you have
never stepped in to an old Victorian mansion, you wouldn't believe the
ornate wainscoting on the lower portion of the walls.
As I did my research on old Victorian homes in
developing this Raised Plaster Stencil line, I was introduced to that lovely look and fell for it
like a ton of bricks! Hence, our Victorian Wall panel stencil was born.
When repeated side by side around the lower level
of the wall, it creates much that same look. With two stencil overlays, you create
the outside box shape of the design in the first plastering, then go back and add
that wonderful detail with the second stencil. Now, paint the color of your wall for
simple "elegance" or do as I did in the photo above and add just pale hints
of color with a stencil brush and stencil cream.
This is also a great stencil design to run up the sides of
doors or fireplaces. Anywhere you would like to increase the apparent size
of the architecture and add to it's beauty.
