Spring Home Makeover with Simple Stencil
Just before Andrew was born 3 1/2 years ago, I found for the first time – Vinyl Wall Transfers (or as I call them: Wall Decals). I was instantly in love, because they added elegance to the wall and filled otherwise void spaces with just the perfect touch – without becoming ‘too much’ decoration.
I instantly got one for my son’s room – It was perfect for over the closet doors.
I decided at that point that I really loved these decals.
When we moved to this house, I decided that there was going to be decals in several places – except… I never got around to ordering what I wanted.
So when Heather and I started working together on this Home Makeover Project: I *knew* we had to work with a company who had a lot of variety on their site, and had easily customizable images/fonts – because I wanted something amazing in every room! So we chose The Simple Stencil.
The first order of business was my bedroom: After all – I had to get my bedroom makeover perfect to show you all 
I knew the bible verse I wanted over my bed: Romans 12:12. But the Romans 12:12 verse that they had was not exactly the way I wanted it: so I did a custom order. It was really simple to do:
I wanted Joyful, Patient, and Faithful to be in one larger script font – and the rest of the words to be in normal sized but non cursive fonts – so that it would stand out more. So I ordered two sets of words:
1) Joyful Patient Faithful
2) Be In Hope, In Affliction, In Prayer – Romans 12:12
Then: when I received them, I cut them and laid them out on the bed just the way I wanted them (and took a picture for reference).
And then Installed them:
I’ve written a more detailed tutorial about how to install your vinyl transfers when you get them – for your future reference.
The Simple Stencil had some really awesome transfers to choose from, and I must have spent at least 5 or 6 hours on their site deciding what I wanted, and where.
Some of the ones I chose were:

My husband had the ‘opportunity’ to put these up on the wall, and he found it to be a lot easier than the transfers we have worked with previously – where he normally would have had to replace the contact paper to be sure that it all comes off onto the wall.
The vinyl transfers from The Simple Stencil were very easy, and after the first few transfers – he knew he could trust them to come right off the contact paper!
I am still looking for the perfect sconces to put up on either side of the words, but meanwhile I think that these words are perfect for over my bed.
What do you think? I know – it’s hard to see without seeing the WHOLE room – but, Tomorrow – that will be revealed

thanks fo great giveaway
this makes decorating so much easier…years ago i spent DAYS trying to stencil an ivy border in my kitchen…so frustrating!
thanks for the chance to win!
I like the way you had the stencil setup, I think it does look better with the words emphasized. I do have words I have painted on a wall, but I think it would look better with these stencils.
These are great! I would love one of these for my girls’ bedroom!
These are so nice! My oldest daughter has some in her home and they look so nice
I love the imagine & play wall quote!
I am slightly obsessed with wall stencils. 🙂 I love all of them.
Love these stencils!
I love the idea of having a beautiful wall saying above our bed, first because they remind you every time you go to bed and every time you wake up…what a couple believes in and what you are to each other. There are SO many great ones! also, I have NEVER had anything on my walls above my bed or kids because I am afraid a photo or shelf, etc will fall down and hurt someone. With these, if attached well and no risk of them coming off into a crib or small child’s bed, you are safe!
One of my favorites is this..
To know you have enough is to be rich…
