Years ago (way back in the 1990’s) when every stencil designer was coming out with endless “ivy” designs, someone actually named one of their stencils “Yet Another Ivy”. Ivy has had it design day for awhile, but I don’t think that there can ever be too many Damask patterns in the world! There is such a heightened interest in Rococco and Baroque suddenly. Good example: Brocade Home!

Here is one that I did for the upcoming Modern Masters collection. Still loving the Faded Fabric look shown right but I wanted to show the designs interpreted in different (and less time consuming to produce) ways. I really like the Lace Valance version on the left and think it makes a nice deep frieze option for a bedroom with slightly higher ceilings. The background is sponge-rolled metallic paints and I stencil-embossed the “lace” over it with Shimmerstone.
