Porch Project: Stencil City

I spent the day stenciling while jamming out to Fergie and Ludacris (my mp3 player with a speaker has a frozen playlist circa 2007). 

It took about 30 minutes to paint each set of the stencil, which isn't too bad.  In between sets I took a break to stretch out my back, wash my hands and motivate for the next set.  It took most of the day to do 10 sets in the main porch floor area.

The next stencil sets will be partial overlays and creative positioning to finish the floor. To complete the floor area under the railing, I was able to hang the stencil off the ledge and paint the partial stencil.  I fear the next areas won't be as easy!



Let's hope the weather clears up so I can do some painting after work this week!

As for the steps, I am going to give them a base gray layer (any votes on the dark vs. light gray paint?), then stencil that star pattern on the stair base, with the border on the face.  Next weekend?
