RAISED PLASTER KENSINGTON FRIEZE STENCIL From Victoria Larsen
If you have ever put up wallpaper and then removed it years after, you know how much of a pain it is to get rid of wallpaper. My mother took down wallpaper in a room, and to the eye the walls looked very clean before she painted. She didn't make the mistake of not scrubbing the walls, however they missed a couple spots that when it came to painting, some of the paint in the room ended up peeling off. She missed the glue in some of the areas causing them to sand some areas down. It was a disaster. One really easy trick of updating a room which has outdated wallpaper trim is to leave it on!! Instead of getting rid of that wallpaper trim, consider painting over it and using plaster stencils to stencil over the previous raised trim areas.
Paint over top of the wallpaper using a good primer and the same color as the rest of your walls.
You now have a raised design on your walls in the area that was once your wallpaper trim. The look is simple and breathtaking! Paint the same color as your wall for ultra raised elegance or you can pre-tint the joint compound with craft paints to create a colored raised design. The best thing about these stencils is they will give the look of adding architectural detail without dating your room like wallpaper trim does.
