Everything you always wanted to know about basic decorating painting techniques, and then some, is included on this informative, easy-to-follow, practically inspirational video. Debbie Travis of The Painted House series starts by explaining what a faux finish is before carefully demonstrating step-by-step how to do a number of different techniques--sponging, color washing, ragging, dragging, bagging (using a scrunched-up plastic garbage bag for special effects), and stamping. Blackboards that pop up on screen reinforce the paint recipe needed for each style, and impressive examples of decorating ideas abound. There's no shortage of good advice on how to start splattering paint on your walls--and have it look like a grownup did it. Once you've watched this video, you'll head straight to the craft store. --Valerie J. Nelson
