Thanks for all of your enthusiastic responses to Ed Roth’s post last week! It was so much fun to read about your Halloween costumes and plans. Halloween is always a pretty big deal here at Chronicle with a fierce competition taking place between all of the departments. We’ll be sure to post pictures from tomorrow’s festivities next week.

On to more important matters, the winner of Stencil 101 Décor and the box of Chocolate Bar chocolates is Lian:

I’ll be a folded piece of wallpaper - all tessellated into a cozy cocoon to guard against the SF chill - hopefully decorated with Ed’s fab pattern stencils!

Lian – we would love to see a picture!

Thanks for playing everyone and have a great Halloween!

Around here when we receive advance copies of books it’s a little like Christmas, here finally is the actual finished product after years of writing, editing, designing, and production. It’s always exciting, but sometimes we’re a little giddier than others, this is often the case with new formats we haven’t published before. And this was the case with Ed Roth’s Stencil 101 Decor, a beautiful over-sized portfolio which comes with ten plastic stencils, instructions, and photos that teach you how to customize every corner of your home including walls, furniture, and floors.

Author Ed Roth has been perfecting the stencil since 2005 when he founded his company Stencil 1. Check out this excellent video Ed created on how to use his wall stencils.

And be sure to look for the book which will be showing up in stores this November, we hope you love it as much we do.
