I found this book very easy to read. It has a wealth of wonderful information for anyone who wants to start or even improve upon their own faux finishing business. Lynette is able to take you through step by step literally everything you will need to know about operating your own business. I only wish that I would have had this book 25 yr. ago when I started my own faux finishing business. I would have been able to know all the right steps to take without all the years of trial and error that I actually went through. It is obvious that Lynette is a very seasoned professional and she shares all of that expertise with you in this book. I would highly recommend this book for any faux finisher at any level of their career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fauz Finish Business Must Have!, December 2, 1999

By	Nancy Mayszak (Geneva, Illinois) - See all my reviews

This book has everything in it to help you start your own faux finish or stencilling business. It includes equipment lists, how to name your business, how to set it up, creating contracts, invoicing, business cards and much more. I felt this book was written for me.
