<<This powder room makeover was brought to you by Cutting Edge Stencils.>>
So, the previous owners of my house had an intense love affair with the colors red (tile), orange (cabinets), brown (carpet), and maroon (countertops), and, inexplicably, gold glitter (plastered on random surfaces, no joke, we had to remove it with a belt sander, it took 3 entire days), so in the couple of years we’ve been here, we’ve been slowly undoing all that mess while still trying to figure out what we want it to be.
One room the previous owners hadn’t touched was our half-bath downstairs. No paint, no faux brick murals like they blessed us with in the other parts of the house, no gold glitter thank heavens, no nothing. Basically a sink and a toilet. Well guess what? I finally did something about it! Check it out:
Woo! Do you like it? Isn’t that better? I’m pretty happy with it. Everyone who sees it seems to like it too, if only because I force absolutely anybody who drops by to take a look. Friends, neighbors, the UPS man, the guy who fixed my sprinklers today, I don’t care, I’m so proud of it!
Gray paint is my very favorite gray: Weathered Tin.
White paint is Whipped White by Dutch Boy Refresh Paint, (this stuff is great, very low to almost no odor).
Mirror is from Home Goods.
Light fixture (not that you can see it, someone please tell me how to take a picture of a light) was on clearance at Home Depot.
And the piece de resistance; the stunning stencil is the Zamira from Cutting Edge Stencils.
Here is the stencil in action. It was really easy to use once we got the hang of it. You definitely want to use a foam roller like this and go v e r y l i g h t l y on the paint. We did a light coat followed by a few minutes spent watching 30 Rock, followed by another light coat, then we’d move the stencil. The cutouts on the bottom are there to help you line it up exactly when you move the stencil, and we didn’t have any trouble staying on track.
That’s not my burly arm up there, that is my husband Matt’s. I say “we” but I mean “he” because he did all the painting. He tries to pretend he doesn’t like it, but look at that grin.
I helped by watching 30 Rock while he painted and also taking stupid pictures of myself in the mirror.
I was VERY impressed with how well the stencil worked, the lines were so crisp and clean. I only ever had to do minor touch ups when we accidentally overloaded the paint brush, or around the back of the toilet where we gave up altogether and I free-handed it. It was a little difficult getting into the corners with the stencil, but there are really helpful tips on their YouTube channel.
All in all, this entire powder room makeover took about 8 hours total, a pretty decent time-to-outcome ratio, I’d say.
I once heard that you should have something unexpected in every room, so this is it. A tiny hot air balloon! You can only see when you are standing at the mirror, it’s like a little prize for washing your hands! Or I guess you can see it if you gaze upward while on the toilet, but who would do such a thing?
Hope you enjoyed this little powder room makeover, and if it inspired you to try something bold in your home, I’d love to see! Here are more bathroom makeovers for your enjoyment.

October 1, 2011 at 2:27 AMYour bathroom looks amazing!! Looks like it came straight from a magazine. I’ve always been a little apprehensive about using stencils on a huge wall…but your DIY project makes it look much easier.
Stacie Larsen
October 1, 2011 at 2:30 AMLOVE the stencil! When we lived in Phoenix, I stenciled chili peppers all over my kitchen – it seemed like a Southwest thing to do. But this is waaaaay cooler and much more sophisticated than chili peppers! I want to do gray and white in my basement – will have to check out those colors! It is wrong to say “yumm” about a bathroom makeover?
Leilani

October 1, 2011 at 2:58 AMI would choose the Casablanca Allover stencil. I actually have a wall in the living room I’m painting that I am planning to stencil. But because I’m a cheapskate I’ve been trying to devise my own stencil. This would be soooo much better!

Megan B.
October 1, 2011 at 12:39 PMBEAUTIFUL! very inspiring- I thought it was wallpaper at first glance. Looks perfect.
Lea
October 1, 2011 at 12:42 PMThat mirror is a huge batch of awesomesauce! I actually gasped when I saw it. This space is totally worth the eight hours and Matt spent in there, and if my bath looked like that I’d flag down cars and make total strangers look at it.
Krista
October 1, 2011 at 12:46 PMWhat a fabulous makeover! Maybe a stenciled wall is just what we need to make our half-bath more exciting!
Lea
October 1, 2011 at 12:55 PMPick my favorite stencil? You’re kidding, right? That’s like asking me to choose which of my kids is my favorite…I love ’em all…just in different ways for different things. The Casablanca stencil is amazing, but so is the All Over Paisley, and that Splash Wall Pattern. I’ve got serious wall envy goin’ on right now.

October 1, 2011 at 2:47 PMBeautiful! I’ve always wanted to try stenciling but I’m afraid I’d put like 10 hours into it and it would like crap and I’d have to repaint the whole thing!
Rita
October 1, 2011 at 2:47 PMYour bathroom looks AMAZING!! I have a half bath that I need to do something with… it looks a lot like your before picture. But I live in Tucson, and I think all the builders just put the EXACT same fixtures in EVERY house in Arizona! I hadn’t thought of doing a stencil, but I am really considering it now!

Shayla
October 1, 2011 at 4:17 PMLooks awesome! I am also in love with grey at the moment….so many awesome color combos with it. I would choose the acacia allover stencil as I think it would be awesome to use for some artwork as well as on walls. I also liked on fb. =)
Bob
October 1, 2011 at 4:21 PMNice job! And it only took 8 hours? Amazing. Love the gray color palette. Gray is the new black, I’ve heard. Going with a neutral is a good thing.
Martha
October 1, 2011 at 4:24 PMI was so impressed by your stenciling that this is the first contest that I’m going to TRY to enter. I agree with Meadowlark; this is CONFUSING! Unless you understand it. And then it’s NOT confusing. In any case, I would choose the ‘Lilly Scroll Allover Stencil’. Off I go. I’ll wish me luck!

October 1, 2011 at 6:15 PMI LOVE these! We have textured walls so the rub on style decor won’t work and lo and behold here are classy stencils! My first choice would have to be the Sakura and birds. Have the accent wall that color and it would look amazing. Thanks for sharing the site. We have a desk in puke wood color and now I do believe it will get some paint and a geometric stencil on the desk top!

Renewed Upon a Dream
October 1, 2011 at 10:27 PMI really like the entwined allover stencil. It’s cool but not TOO much. I really like how they painted the “poppy allover stencil” one, with the shiny grey on the matte grey, looks cool! Would love to do that!
Deb
October 1, 2011 at 10:30 PMThat looks amazing!!!! I think I’d like to try a medallion stencil to spice up the dining room a bit 🙂
cndesigns
October 1, 2011 at 10:41 PMOooooh! Do I get a prize for being the 201st comment? Haha! But seriously, your bathroom re-do is super-duper cool! It wasn’t so bad before, just not much personality. Kinda “builder grade look” if you’re into that sort of thing. LOL!
So hmmmmm….what would I do with a stencil from Cutting Edge…I’ll have to think on that awhile. But wouldn’t it be fun to give it a shot 🙂

Laree
October 2, 2011 at 11:22 PMI love your bathroom! Really, gold glitter? what were they thinking! But I feel your pain with getting it off. My previous owners did a (not exaggerating) plaster treatment that stuck out in 1/2 inch spikes floor to ceiling in the front room. almost 20 hours of sanding later, I finally had a room that no longer created scars!

October 3, 2011 at 11:15 AMjust in regards to taking pictures of light fixtures, the best method I know of is shooting a HDR (high dynamic range). Basically you take 3 pictures of the exact same frame, except one picture is under exposed (about 2-3 f-stops), one perfectly exposed, and one a little bit overexposed (about 2-3 f-stops). Then combine the 3 pictures in photoshop and it gives you a perfect balance of light and dark.
(sorry if this was super confusing, I’m sure there are simpler tutorials online)
