Description
Classic techniques for turning everyday spaces into
favorite places.
With a little paint and this easy-to-follow guide, you
can transform even the most modest dwellings into warm,
welcoming interiors that express your unique lifestyle.
Thirty step-by-step demonstrations show you how to create
popular decorating styles from Tuscany, England, France,
Early America and Rural Mexico:
-
Richly textured walls--from soft washes of color and
classic Venetian plaster to bold stripes, floral borders
and simulated leather
-
Hand-painted floor cloths and faux inlay floors
-
Faux marble tabletops, gilded accents, rustic benches,
painted scrolls on curtains, and other artifacts that look
like they come straight out of regional shops and village
gardens.
Stunning photo galleries provide further decorating ideas
for infusing ordinary rooms with timeless beauty,
traditional artisanship and plenty of Old World appeal.
Whether you long for rustic charm or romantic elegance ...
whether you are a beginning decorator, a weekend renovator
or an accomplished artist ... the paint effects in this book
are easy to achieve and even easier to live with.
