Stenciled Glass Cabinet Doors
About a month ago, I was inspired by a stencil project that Heather at Love and Life at Leadora had created. She applied a beautiful stencil to the glass window in her front door. While thinking my china cabinet needed some lace in the glass doors, I remembered Heather’s project.
This is Heather’s front door, the source of my inspiration.
Her stencil work is intricate and beautiful And her dog’s cute, too!
This is my cabinet that I wanted to add lace panels to … but thought a stencil would be more unique.
Hubby had some old brushes and white acrylic paint, so all I needed was the stencil and adhesive.
I cut the stencil apart so I could fit the edging better.
I didn’t use a lot of stencil adhesive so the glass would remain clean.
The trick is not to thin your paint too much. Then simply brush it onto your stencil.
I used a fairly simple stencil for this project.
This is what it looks like with doors open.
And with doors closed.
Thank you, Heather, for your inspiration!
Be sure to check out Heather’s wonderful blog at Love and Life at Leadora.
She’s amazingly talented, as I’m sure you’ll find out while poking around her blog.

The stencil really adds so much. I didn’t realize that acrylic paint would work on glass.
Amazing!! I LOVE love it so I pinned it! You did a beautiful job!
Oh wow you are a genius! Love this project (and you cute dog). This project would be perfect for our linky party featuring “Transformations” called Repurpose-Remodel-Reveal, I know our readers would love to see it too!

You did a great job and it’s so pretty! I have an old cupboard that had stenciling on it but most has worn off. It’s really old. They used black on my cupboard but now you’ve shown me I can restore them! Thank you!
So very beautiful! Thank you for sharing the details with us! I am storing this bit of inspiration away for future projects!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
What a great look for the windows! It’s like they were made that way!
