Tropical Stencil Furniture Makeovers

Kick up the heat on your home's style with bright stencil projects that import the feel of the islands.

Cabinet doors with leaf prints
Leaf It Out
    Give a cabinet personality with a facade of large tropical fronds. Stenciled on an artist's canvas from the crafts store, the fronds are rendered in three green hues. Stencil one leaf color, let it dry, then reposition the stencil, slightly overlapping the first to add another color. Turn the canvas into a door by screwing on hinges and a painted wooden knob.
     
    This is a great inexpensive way to decorate your space, furniture, baskets, even lamps! Stencils give an amateur decorator a lot of lee-way and room to play! Find what "theme" or collection of patterns, or ideas fit you and your decorating tastes. For me, I have always been attracted to an island feel, beach motif, and bright colors. The beach is a very special place for me, it is my personal happy place, a place of retreat and utter bliss. So of course, I want to surround myself in that!
