Over 300 ideas for twenty projects which use color to enhance room decor and appearance,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Painted Home (Paperback)
Kerry Skinner's The Painted Home: Transform Your Living Space With Color, Pattern, And Texture features over 300 ideas for twenty projects which use color to enhance room d‚cor and appearance. So what's new about painting a room? Plenty: for one thing, today's room colors can be as bold as plum or bright green, and can be combined with trim colors for added impact. For another, faux tiles, textures, and color variations can transform even the dullest wall to a work of art. The Painted Home is packed with ideas on how to make it happen

great ideas,
This review is from: The Painted Home (Paperback)
This book is full of ideas for using color in your home. As a decorator, I love using faux techniques that add not only color but texture and pattern as well. It allows for so much individuality and expression when decorating. The colors and explanations in this book are great resources.
