Give your home a modern boost by stenciling pillows with stylish patterns.

These two handmade floral stencils, arranged agreeably askew, decorate the inner edges of curtains, framing the window. Designing a border, rather than covering the entire panel, achieves a more customized look (and saves time). An accompanying pillow features the same primitive blossoms in a related palette and echoes the still life on the wall.

Complete all motifs in one color before moving on to the next. We used natural linen curtains; when painted, they can be washed and steamed or ironed.
