Definitely pinning for future reference... never thought to
stain over a stencil.
Here is the thing with
staining over your stencil.....
Not exact matches
What I have in mind is a soft white matte, see thru finish, (like you'd get with a
stain) and then a semi gloss in same color
over a paisley
stencil.
The
stencil is done in white paint and then
stained over top with Minwax Dark Walnut and the color on the legs is Hallowed Hush by Behr.
The glossier the paint the less the
stain will show up
over the
stencil, so go gloss for a really white
stencil and flat for a more tone on tone effect.
