jrchob Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 My first attempt at stenciling! The red area will be the child's play area and the grey a sewing room. The sewing room paper is in the last photo. Need to polyurethane floors before I put up the paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The sewing room with that floor and that paper will be gorgeous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrchob Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 I have no plan B as yet. I received the paper for the sewing room and it is a brown shade. This was the perfect paper as in thedescription of grey on white. I was not sent the wrong paper as it is the same number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Can you match the background color with a wash and cover the floor with it (your stencil will still show up) or draw around your stencil design with brown paint for a dimensional effect.

There's a possibility Itsy Bitsy will redo the paper. Or I may sand down the stencil repaint with the wash and re-stencil with a light brown to match the paper. However I am not a brown color person.
