I’m not really sure what got me started on this project. I wasn’t actually unhappy with our master bath. I think I was just spending too much time on Pinterest and got the seven year itch…
The main change I made to our bathroom was painting the vanity. The color is Nocturne by Behr from Home Depot.
The smaller changes I made were a new bathmat and rearranging the accessories. My inspiration was a stunning master bath by Amber Interiors. If you are as in love as I am with her style, check out my post on finding the ingredients for her beautiful spaces.
Some of the elements I wanted to use included:
With just a few changes, I am excited to see the transformation in our master bathroom!
I wonder which room is next to be the beneficiary (victim) of my makeover fever!

Have you seen these fabulous pendant light drum shades at Room and Board? I’ve been drooling over them for years, with all the gorgeous prints and colors. They’re a splurge at several hundred dollars a shade, but they are really beautiful. Go check out all the beautiful and funky prints they have!
As always, I was wondering if I could make something like this myself, and in browsing ideas, I found some great examples, including this one from Laura at Some Kind of Lovely Ride. She did a beautiful job on her shade and had great instructions that helped me conquer my apprehension about this project!
Yellow floral stencils on a lampshade by Laura at Some Kind of Lovely Ride. A perfect DIY inpsiration!
I was so excited to get started, I rushed to the craft store to pick up my supplies and get to work! I stenciled the lampshade in my craft studio and while I was at it, I also stenciled a piece of fabric for a throw pillow. I used Laura’s basic instructions and discovered a few tips along the way, so here’s how it went:
Supplies:
Stenciling
Basic stencil:
Adding a color:
Finishing the fabric:
Finished stencils!
Here is how the shade looked before:
And here’s the finished shade:
Drum shade transformed with floral stencils in blue, green, and silver. I dare say, I like this better than the inspiration shade!
The random pattern of stencils gives a different look from every side. And it makes it easier, because you don’t have to worry about lining up the pattern.
Here’s the finished fabric. I’ve got a lot of pillow projects lined up, so I should work on those soon!
The stenciled fabric, on the bottom, will be a throw pillow for the daybed. The colors coordinate with the hydrangea print paper I found. I’m making desk accessories and some other projects with the paper.
