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 great! I’m jealous that you can even walk IN your closet

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!
