This post is a partnership with Cutting Edge Stencils Before I launch into my stenciling-turned-brainteaser story, I want to write a few words about why we chose to stencil an accent wall in the first place. For nearly three years, Andy and I have removed wallpaper from BHH. It is a hot and messy job that leaves…
