Hi everyone, Denise from Salvaged Inspirations here!
Have you ever thought of stenciling an ENTIRE piece of furniture? Have you been seeing those drop-dead-gorgeous furniture stenciling ideas on Pinterest and in decor magazines lately?
I’ve been admiring the pieces with bold contrast and strong design and I finally found the perfect piece to try it out with French Trellis pattern. Updated: Check out our full line of oversized stencils here.
This buffet was bought off Craigslist over a year ago and has been in storage ever since.
The base color is Dixie Belle’s Coffee Bean. It’s a rich yet subtle black with dark brown espresso undertones. It’s been added to my-BEST-black-paint-list for sure… it’s right up there with DB Caviar.

Tips & Tricks:
Stenciling a dark color over a lighter color is easier than stenciling a light color over a dark color.
Blot blot blot – use an almost dry brush to get clean, crisp lines and avoid running under.
Mark out the center of the stencil and the center of the furniture. Line it up for your first stencil positioning – work outwards from there.
Lay the furniture flat on its back to the stencil. I find this easier than stenciling while it’s upright.
