Applying paint or wallpaper to a home seems harmless enough - until you are confronted with the maze of available products, improperly prepared surfaces, and difficult clean-ups. This book is for the "all thumbs" householder who wants to decorate his house but who has hesitated for fear of making a costly mistake. Which tools are best for the job? What are the factors involved in choosing exactly the right paint? How are various surfaces best prepared for wallpapering? What kinds of wallpaper are available, and which are right for a particular wall or project? How can stenciling be done to professional standards? This book answers all these questions and more.
