5.0 out of 5 stars Thin volume packs a wallop!, December 1, 2000
By Julie (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia) - See all my reviews
Pick up this book for innovative ideas and unusual techniques for results that are stunningly elegant, yet simple. Using her new home in Bristol as a canvas, Ms. Innes creates a suave atmosphere, showing DIY decorators to create texture on walls with minimal amounts of paint and glycerin as a glazing medium. Have you used relief borders (anaglypta) in your home to no particular effect? Turn to page 29 and find how powdered graphite - what goes down on paper when you write in pencil - makes all the difference. White tiles make you blah? Check pages 45 and 63 for a simple, weekend project that will leave you with a beautiful frame or backsplash for the kitchen. Love tapestries but can't be bothered with needlepoint? Pick up you paintbrush and turn to page 71 for a trompe-l'oeil wall hanging. "Background and Borders" will leave you with accessible, simple and economical solutions for a sumptuous décor. Highly recommended.
