It's DONE, Creative HIGH PART II

I do not let any grass grow under my feet as the saying goes! I had it pretty much in my mind I was going to do it, I was excited in fact!  However, my biggest opinion needed was every step or every other.  So this is how the story goes.

 Pretty drab really when you look at it.

 I saw this pretty stencil while at Hobby Lobby, and that is when it hit me. 

Mike happened to be with me, I KNOW poor guy at Hobby Lobby on his day off. And I asked him his thoughts.  He was not happy to be honest at FIRST

 But like we said, it's only paint.

 I have to be honest, I really don't like it

I LOVE IT!

 I even started to decorate for Valentines day, just a tad here and there so far.

 This shield is on the left going up the stairs

 And we have this pretty vintage light in the area as well.

 Someone mentioned it being a tedious job. NOT at all. It took me about an hour hour and half at most. Really simple, cheap, and I think it adds a lot to dreary area of the house.

I mixed these two colors. First I did the penny color, and then lightly rolled the black for a shading appearance. These little rollers are AWESOME to use when stenciling. 

FUNNY, Jack came home from school today and he said "WOW Mom I love the stairs, you are really getting good at painting like an artist" I said Thank you son. Does he really need to know the truth??

 Now the problem is, I want to stencil everything in site!
Thank you all for your opinions, that was great!
