Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Gray and Innes have created a guide to using decorative paint effects for every surface in the home. Detailed instructions and step-by-step photographs demonstrate using techniques with style and imagination. The first half of the book gives basic and professional redecorating methods for painting, wall-coverings, tiling, ceilings, woodwork, furniture, and floors. The second half has more advanced ideas and directions for rag rolling, wood-graining, marbling, stippling, stencilling, splattering, and bambooing. Most techniques will require some practice, but this how-to and interior design guide can be a source of endless inspiration. For public libraries. Better Homes & Gardens Book Club selection.
