Hello World! Welcome Friends! You didn’t think I could use the Chinoiserie stencil just once, did you? I spent time wandering around my house with stencil in hand trying it out in different little places. I landed on the art niche that is just outside of the Master Bedroom. Wisdom would dictate that I finish painting the laundry room and paint the back hallway, but no, I just have to use that stencil again!
If you missed the One Room Challenge Breakfast Nook Reveal, let me give you a little refresher.

My sister also has a Partners in Building house and has a similar art niche just outside of her Master Bedroom. I think her niche is a little larger. She does after all have a big, mac daddy house…meaning her house is bigger than mine.
The stencil from Cutting Edge is very easy to work with. I’m sure if I just used one color it would be so much easier. But, I’ve never been know to take the easy route. I used the same color palette in the art niche as I did in the breakfast nook. It really brought some interest to a little space that otherwise you wouldn’t notice. It’s all in the details, isn’t it?
I’m also debating about whether on not to paint the light fixture or change it completely. I’m not sure if I like the glass globe. If paint is the direction I go, it will be a metallic gold. I’ll keep you posted on what I decide.
This little guy is going to be getting a makeover as well and just might find his home here in the niche. We call him, Chang!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day/night depending on where you are in the world! Go with God and remember to be kind to one another!
Toodles,
Love the style.
Where did you get “Chang”??? I have a lot of Asian decor and LOVE him! I also love that stencil!
Chang was given to me a long time ago from a friend. I think she originally got him in the late ’90’s at Garden Ridge Pottery. We love him! Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks!
I love this little nook makeover Kathryn. I like how the nook looks more like a complete picture (with plants at the bottom and sky at the top) rather than a repeating stencil. Really great work 🙂 xx
Thank you, Kate! Have a lovely week ahead!
Kathryn, that stencil is perfect for that niche. Great job!! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Your beautiful stencil is certainly getting a work-out! Love how you used it in the art nook–such a great idea. Thanks so much for linking up with us at Vintage Charm 🙂
Way to get more bang for your buck. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Chang. Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, and have a great weekend.
Kathryn, I’m glad you were able to use your beautiful stencil again. Your art nook is charming! Always glad to have you share at Vintage Charm! Blessings, Cecilia
Such a great idea for that niche. Scheduling to Pinterest. Thanks for sharing at the To Grandma’s House We Go link party.
That stencil is fabulous! Where’d you get it? I’d like to try that in the wall behind our guest room bed.
The stencil is from Cutting Edge: http://www.cuttingedgestencils.com/chinoiserie-wall-stencil-mural-panel-asian-design.html Thanks for taking a look.
