The book begins with a complete guide to the materials and equipment you will need to get started, from paints, brushes, rollers, sponges and rags to specialist tools such as combs, grainers, gilder's pads, stencil sticks and linoleum blocks. The main part of the book consists of step-by-step decorating schemes for walls, floors, furniture, china, glass, fabrics and accessories, featuring a range of different styles and effects. Paint effects projects include everything from a limewashed wall to geometric floor tiles, and stamping projects include a strawberry fruit basket, Santa Fe living room, Indian velvet cushion and starry cabinet. A template section at the back of the book will help you to achieve professional-looking results for the more difficult projects.
