Thank you. No it must be a trick with lighting. I pinned the wreaths at an inconspicuous part of the top / backside of the cabinet.

Thank you Kim! This was an EARLY DIY of mine, and I didn’t quite get the results I was hoping for on the cabinets. I thought I prepped them properly, and I ended up using one kit as I recall, but I did have trouble with the paint adhering to the cabinets. It is chipping around the handles so I will be sanding and redoing the cabinets, hopefully before winter. I will try a different method of paint application altogether as well. I hope this helps as you tackle your own kitchen.

Thanks Sandra, the stencil is called “Springtime in Paris” and was purchased from Royal Design Studio.

Teri – thank you so much for stopping by to comment Teri! I will be sure to stop by your party – you do the same this Thursday since I am having my FIRST link party ever sharing recipes, DIY and crafts.

Hi Sharon! I love stencils and if I”m not careful I will likely overdo it stenciling my whole home. The base paint called “Fired Earth” — here is the information, and I bought it in high-gloss: http://www.lowes.com/pd_34143-4-60111FIREDEARTH_0__?productId=3814073. Then I applied a polyurethane overtop but because it’s so dark I rarely seen any splashing (so it hides dirt really well). The stencil fit perfectly between the countertop and the cabinets. It does extend into the corner which is not an easy task. But I stage things in the corners to cover up any mistakes :) ….as far as the verse, I tried to keep it in order but at some point I cut the stencil up and used it on other things. So it’s not a perfect repeat. I made sure that it was centered over the stove which seems to be a focal point of the entire project. Thanks for stopping by! :)
