Use paint to create a personal decorating statement. This book teaches not only the basics of paint use and color, but walks readers through the techniques (such as dragging, ragging, sponging, stippling and splattering) needed for a wide range of room altering finishes.
A practical guide to weatherproof paint effects including stucco treatment, faux tiles, limewashing, verdigris and moss effects. The effects are arranged by project: for walls, floors, windows, planters and are in step-by-step format with photographic instructions for ease of reference. Both challenging techniques and basic skills are covered but the reader is left to create the required result or take the inspiration into their own direction.
