All About Stenciling

In my daughter's room we are going to use green and blue paints. We are also going to stencil with a design shaped like squares (not solid) they can be made to look like a chain. How would you use these paints in this room and where and how on the walls would you use the stenciling?

Stencils are old-fashioned. Just paint the walls a solid color. Then after they dry, go back with painters tape and make designs or stripes on the wall in nice geometric patterns with the second paint color. Here's a nice look with step-by-step directions: http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/la_walls_floors/article/0,2041,DIY_13992_2270743,00.html Also, you can paint 3 walls one color and use the second color as an accent wall on the fourth. Here's a cool technique: This procedure can be sloppy: in addition to masking off the adjoining walls and ceiling, securely mask baseboards with plastic to prevent leakage. Use a roller to apply a heavy coat of paint to a section of the wall, press a large piece of plastic to the surface, crinkles and all then peel the plastic away (picture:http://img.diynetwork.com/DIY/2003/09/18/d136_6fa_e.jpg) .

how about painting the lighter of the two colors on the top half, darker on bottom half and pick three coordinating colors to stencil along the line between paint colors...use a laser level on tripod and blue painters tape to mask for line.
