I first heard of The Royal Design Studio when I lived in San Diego. I was taking Fine Art Classes at UCSD; however was told that a studio in Chula Vista was offering classes in Faux Painting techniques.Sign me up! The owner, Melanie made the classes so much fun and was extremely helpful.
We learned gilding, marbling, glazing, texturing, faux bois, and many uses of stencils with gorgeous results.
I remember painting a lovely cherub on a narrow wall in my home as opposed to doing the traditional three or four on a painted ceiling design
. Another project was a Trompe l'oeil Ionic Column with an Urn atop.
In a Master Bath without a window I completed an iron window with a curved top. The sky with clouds could be seen through the iron "panes" I always surprised myself with the realism achieved!
Choose fresh and fun looks and current colors....or....
The Olde World look of Intricate Tile-work!
Royal Design Studio has an amazing Blog of inspirational ideas; Design Amour is a source you will love!
For all of us Annie Sloan Chalk Paint fans here is a project completed on a lovely chest with a Royal Design Stencil on the table leaves only in Duck Egg Blue!
Chinoiserrie Lovers not to be left out! Melanie has mentioned that she loves the look of a hand painted wallpaper at much less cost. There are Chinoiserie florals as well.
Lovers of all things Paris take heed!

A special note of appreciation to Anna of Lona de Anna for the five most gorgeous land and seascape prints!
I am loving the Moroccan vibes!! I have a project coming up and hope to be able to use several of them!
ReplyDeleteI follow RDS on FB and pinterest! Such great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love the Moroccan collection; the star diamond would be great on a patio table, and the endless circles for a dining room wall or the large Moorish Trellis stencil for the dining room or possibly my bedroom. There are so many great designs, I couldn't pick just one!!!
ReplyDeleteRecover quickly!!! Healthy thoughts your way.

ReplyDeleteI am also a follower on Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose just one, but I'd love to use the Kyoto stencil on the wall behind the bed and then also stencil it on a bed skirt and maybe cornice boards and a throw pillow or two to tie the whole room together.
ReplyDeleteHope your surgery goes well.
Thank you for this beautiful post but I am so sorry to hear that you are going back in for surgery. You will be in my thoughts. No need to enter me in the giveaway (even if it is lovely) as I am so thrilled with my Jose Esteves lamp for Interieurs!
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't know that you spent time in San Diego. My parents lived in Crown Point for over twenty years and I spent a lot of time with them there--I love it!
Be well...
xo,
Heather
Excellent, I am sitting here not worrying as there are more international giveaways to come. xxx
ReplyDeleteAnd may the surgery go well, and I hope the recovery isn't too hard on you. Many many good wishes from your faraway friend.
ReplyDeleteI would love to use the Honeycomb Allover Wall Stencil on one wall in my master bedroom. Thanks for the awesome giveaway and have a speedy recovery :)
