This is a great book for you if you plan to decorate your home yourself. I found something that I could use for every room in my house and the techniques are explained well and easy to follow. There are many pictures that helped in following the directions that insured that the effect I wanted was achieved. You will love all the various painting techniques

2.0 out of 5 stars Alright companion book, March 26, 2002

This review is from: 1,200 Paint Effects for the Home Decorator (Quarto Book) (Paperback)

I had high hopes for this book. 1200 paint effects!!! Holy schmokes!! No. The first 20 pages are nice. They give you the run-down on materials and preparation. However, there is only one small paragraph for each technique and then the next 150 pgs is the same effect over and over in different colors. The last 18 pgs are for special effects. Now, the book may be a good companion book, because it does show you what the effect looks like in different colors; however, you don't see it in a room, just a color swatch. I recommend getting this if you're curious about the swatches. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
