I was oh so giddy to receive a note from a reader that he had recently stenciled his walls with an amazing trellis pattern in his living room just like I did in our master bedroom.

“I have been reading your blog for awhile now and love everything about it, and because you are in the Bay Area! Your blog motivated me me to create my own Jonathan Adler "lite" lamp using parts from the St. Vincent de Paul store in Oakland and to do some plantings in my garden/patio. However, when I saw you were stenciling your wall, I thought I would share a recent project I just completed for my living room. While I was not as industrious as yourself in making my own stencil (I bought it online) our desire for a similar pattern is evident.”

Doesn’t his living room have that ‘wow’ factor with that amazing wall ? I also love the gray sofa, the shag rug, and the Lucite coffee table. Completely fantastic Courtney!
Courtney purchased a trellis stencil online ~ you can read his entire tutorial right here including the paint colors and tricks he used to achieve this stunning effect, and the source of his fabulous stencil.
Love it!

Looks great and adds the wow factor!

A-MAZING! I kept looking at your wall and thinking I probably didn’t have the patience or steady hand… THIS I can do… I think. Thanks so much for sharing. loving this technique!!
I really wish I had the patience to do something like that. absolutely stunning!
That looks fantastic. I love it!

Thanks Kate for the shout out on your blog. The project was easy and fun! And when I get tired of it, I can simply paint over it. And thank you to everyone for the kinds words and wishes!
That completely looks like wallpaper – wow.
Very neat DIY feature by a reader. I like that. Love the color he chose for the wall. :)
Maybe I’ll be brave and really give this a try. That looks really awesome. I could do something like that in my master room or bathroom. I don’t know. I {think} I can get it done.
Such a wonderful job! I love the tile stencil used here, and that whole living room looks wonderful!
I need to pop over there and read more, thanks for sharing this! Side note: that ‘movie set’ light fixture is amazing!!
