In exchange for a stencil from Royal Design Studio,
I am bringing you this promotional post!
After introducing this sweet little dressing room
of mine to you last spring, I knew I would
eventually create a statement wall with
something subtle…something tone-on-tone.
I turned to
Royal Design Studio
after falling in love with their
![Inspiration for subtle, neutral wall stencil patterns | Fortuny Stencil by Royal Design Studio](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0094/1122/files/fortuny-stencil.jpg?4852)
Royal Design Studio
Isn’t it gorgeous in the nursery above?
I do love a professional grade stencil, and you
may recall another French script stencil project
of mine with Royal Design.

Ta daaaaaa!
I love the impact of the lacy design,
and it took less than 2 hours
to complete it yesterday.

A couple of my collages mingle with
art, antique French documents,
and vintage jewelry.

Besides the glorious stencil, the only other
supplies I required were a small foam roller
and watered down soft grey latex paint
(Martha Stewart’s Sharkey Gray).

I played around adhering different items
to the wall, and guess what I learned?

There isn’t anything that doesn’t work against
the Fortuny…even my treasured original Lulu DK
watercolor painting with its bold floral works.

The stencil’s pattern is reminiscent of the famous Italian
Fortuny silks, and the classically quiet
combination of muted grey on white
evokes a lovely hushed elegance.

Michele,
I am so SO glad I found your blog! Your dressing room is so lovely! You create the warm and enveloping feeling with your decor, which I love. I am also swooning over the stenciled wall and ghost chair too – they really make the room.
That is one gorgeous wall. I'm making a not for that stencil. Thanks for sharing it with us.
How pretty! I bookmarked the stencil for my next painting project
Gosh it's so pretty and delicate (the stencil wall and the whole room)! I've always wanted to stencil a wall. We've recently moved cities and are in a rental, but when we do (eventually) get our own place, I'll be looking for a wall to stencil-makeover. Bookmarking this for inspiration 🙂
Love that color combination with this stencil design!
Oh my your wall is so lovely! I must find a sweet little spot to try this out, it's just perfection with the ghost chair. So soft, so pretty, love….
It is absolutely beautiful – great job!! I'm inspired …
That is just fantastic! Such an elegant look.

No idea how I missed this post so I'm totally late but I couldn't not say how FAB it looks. I love the soft design, it's so very you. It must be such a pleasure to be in there. Gorgeous xxx
