Hi readerlearner. I used a stencil brush. I think that if you use a regular paint brush you might end up with a mess. I tried a stencil roller but it didnt work for me. This is what the same stencil looks like in my bedroom. It is done in a metallic silver. I tried the same stencil in the bedroom in both blue - the same color as the upper portion of the walls - and brown. I didnt like any of them. I think this stencil needs to be from floor to ceiling to get the full effect. I really dont care for it in the bedroom and I will paint over it. I will probably either replace it with another stencil or do pitcure frame molding. The bedroom is a work in progress and as you can see, I haven't yet put the baseboards in place. They are just laying against the wall. I actually had pitcure frame molding up and recently removed it...long story. Then I had to spackle and sand the damaged walls - HUGE MESS! After that I decided to see what the stencil looked like before I put new molding up. Now I think I'll try a new stencil first. Anywhoo thats the reason the baseboard is'nt attached.....

I wasn't familiar with the color so I pulled it up on my computer. Personally, I think it's a nice rich color with a lot of depth to it that some may be read as plum as some may read as brown. That's what makes it interesting to me. I worry that doing the stenciling may cheapen the look. Have you tried fooling around with different light bulbs to see if that makes a difference? What other colors are in the room - trim, tile, etc.? Maybe they're contributing to pulling out the brown. If you love the color and everyone else loves the color, whatever they see, I'd probably leave it alone. Perhaps doing your towels one, two or three shades lighter on the color card might help. http://www.sherwin-williams.com/do_it_yourself/paint_colors/ideas/color/SW6272/
