Once upon a time there was a small closet in our home that was in desperate need of some organization and cleaning. Ironically, I'm referring to our cleaning closet. I just couldn't seem to find the time away from Pinterest motivation to get to it....... that is until I was contacted by Cutting Edge Stencils to do a review & giveaway.
I'm a huge fan of the stencil decor trend but if you recall just an image alone of a full stencilled room makes me hyperventilate. So I figured the next best thing would be to give it a go on a much smaller scale; the closet! I mean after all, there aren't alot of people nosing around in my cleaning closet. Heck, much to the hubby's dismay I barely nose around in that thing. So I figured if I screwed it up royally it wouldn't be the end of the world.
I went with the Fuji All Over Stencil and I found the Cutting Edge how-to videos to be VERY helpful. I had a few spots down near the bottom of the wall {perfectly hidden behind the cleaning cart!}where I got a little over confident and probably used more paint on the roller than I should of but in the end I was pretty pleased with the results. I found this stencil to be alot sturdier & easier to work with then some craft store ones.
After finishing up the wall {which took about 3 hours} I organized my supplies in some baskets I had gathered from other closets. I spray painted the silver, rusty cleaning cart blue and then just for the heck of it designed and framed a quote that soooooo meets my motto in life. "Our house is clean enough to be healthy, but dirty enough to be happy." Who knows this new, fun space may just inspire me to clean more! Cue the laugh track. I said "may" people.
So are you ready to get your stencil on?!

Love the rachel's garden all over stencil!
Oh- so hard to pick! They are all so lovely and inspiring. But, I'm such a sucker for simple polka dots. Soooo, I'd have to say the polka dots all over stencil would this girl's choice!

I love the tree and branch stencils! and I LOVE your closet! I'm impressed!
I am loving that closet space!! I am totally OCD about little spaces like that and they drive me crazy if they are messy. I love what you did here. And as far as stencils go... there are way too many cute ones! I think I would choose the Julia allover stencil.

So cute! I'm so afraid of stenciling too, I really want to do one in my pantry, but I've never had the nerve to start, because I think I'll give up in the middle. Ha! Yours looks great!
your closet clean-up has given me inspiration to clean out clutter in a few areas of my house, a few areas that i never ever wanted to touch again but maybe i should now
Oh my gosh! I need this! And I know exactly what I would do!
