You know what’s exciting?

When you have a really talented friend who can craft just about ANYTHING!

You know what’s even MORE exciting?

When that really talented friend is nice enough to come help out a not-so-really-talented friend!

That’s right. My specialty is not closet make-overs. Not so much at all. Fortunately, my friend Tonya, from Love of Family and Home, is a closet makeover specialist.

Or should I just say she is a certified ROCKSTAR at any DIY project?! Yep, that about describes her.

After seeing her closet makeover project I got a little closet envy and decided…“How dare her closet be better than mine!”

Ha!

So what’s a closet jealous friend to do? So glad you asked!

Kill her with kindness until she agrees to make your closet just as good as hers? I think that’s a yes!

No no no, not really. It was actually much easier than that. I tweeted her to see if she wanted to have a closet party and (because she’s kinda awesome) she happily agreed!

She decided it would be a perfect opportunity to do a tutorial on how to stencil your wall! And since I am so fabulous at video editing these days (ahem)…it was a perfect trading of services!

Not to mention some fun girl time!

So if you ever wondered how to stencil your wall…you no longer have to wonder. Or how a girl works a drill? Or maybe your more curious of what kind of dance party we had mid-tutorial? Either way, I promise you…ANYONE can stencil after watching this vlog!

Here’s the finished product:

I am obsessed with it! Thank you again Tonya for being such a great friend and sharing your skills!

Looks wonderful! I can’t wait to watch the tutorial tonight. Think she’ll come to a closet party in North Carolina? ;-)

Looks fabulous but how do you avoid smearing paint when you move stencil to new spot ? Do you wipe paint off back of stencil before you place it in next spot?

Seriously what a good idea!!! Spruce up the closet? Why not?!

I am one of those blog stalkers (a nice one, not a mean one) that found you through some others but I also follow you on twitter and tried to reply to your whiteboard issue but I don’t think it worked, so I thought I would try it here. There is whiteboard paint at Lowes. Its Rustoleum Dry Erase. Sorry for butting in but maybe it’ll work if you are trying to use a large space. Just a thought!
