First off, let me just say I came across this photo while perusing google for an idea to stencil, and I fell in love.
Good Girl Gone Glad did a fantastic job on her wall!! I wanted the SAME.
So, after finding my inspiration from Good Girl Gone Glad, I had to find a trellis stencil which I found on this lovely blog Jones Design Company. She did her office (picture below) with this trellis stencil and she provides a stencil printout HERE.
I moved my daughter into her own room, and the paint colour was driving me crazy!!! I had to do something about it right away!! It's not a terrible colour, but very boring for a fun, hip room makeover!
So I took some paint that I had left over from a project last year (they told me to get way too much!) as I had enough leftover paint to do my whole daughter's room!
Okay so I printed the stencil out on the computer, and traced it onto a cardboard cereal box.
Then I drew the chalk onto the wall in the pattern I wanted.
After many hours of painting I came away with this...
And this...
And this...
It was worth the time! I am so pleased and my daughter even says she LOVES it! Ya, she better after how long it took me!
I will have more posts with progress from her room later.
This took a long time, I need a break now.
I may just go lay on her floor to stare at it for awhile (wink).

That looks amazing, especially against the turquoise - come do mine, please? ; )
How did you get the lines so even and straight?
And yes, I think I did just leave this comment on the prior post by accident. I am still getting used to the whole comment link at the top of the post thing... Oops : )

I love it! What a difference it made! What did you use to paint the chalk lines? I love it!!
I love it...I used this same design on my painted rug, a shelf and a pillow cover I painted.
You did a wonderful job! I'm planning on doing something similiar in my bathroom. Love the color!
Great job! That looks amazing! :)

That is gorgeous...thinking of using that patterns on some curtains!
WOW! I am in love with this! My little girl wants a pink room, but I'm totally wanting to do this!!! Hmm.....Thanks for sharing, it looks time consuming but obviously was worth it the stencil looks amazing. (ps-found you through backyard eden linky)
This looks absolutely beautiful!
Stunning. Wow. That must have been painstaking to chalk and paint, but well worth the effort. I tried something similar on a smaller wall and it was a colossal fail. I rushed it!
If you have a moment today, please share this with my readers @Creative Juice Thursday Hope to see yours among all the amazing projects!
Stunning stencil! I know first-hand how much work that can be... go you! I'm putting it in the PoPP Spotlight.

Thanks for linking to Creative Juice Thursday. Hope to see you back this week.
Wow! You are a genius :) I have loved and wanted to do something similar to this BUT those darn stencils just seemed so expensive and possibly fussy. But your method has no cost so what have I got to lose!!! :) You're handy work looks amazing!!! Thanks for sharing this idea!!!
Absolutely AWESOME- my hubbs is OBSESSED w/ Frank. Great Father's Day gift ;) Oh, we featured you today! Stop by to snag a featured button :) xo
This looks Amazing!!! Wonderful Job!
Ok so I am actually attempting this on my wall right now and im noticing that drawing the stencil doesnt take very long but that its the actual painting that takes forever. What did you use to paint the lines? Im just using a small brush but it seems like there has to be something that would be faster. The help would be much appreciated:)
Nice Article! Thanks for sharing with us.
