Growing up in New Orleans, I have a deep appreciation for old houses and their unique architectural characteristics. I have always been fascinated by the details and decorative ornaments created by the skilled craftsman of the past. I created this collection of stencils in order to reintroduce some of those details - at least in a faux finish. These stencils should add a little fun and even some humor to the doors in your home while they introduce a touch of the past.
