Special Finishes for Your Home

This covers the basics in the front (how to open a paint can, removing stray hairs from a brush, loading the roller, etc.). It also discusses some color theory to help with choosing a color. Each technique gets several pages that include step-by-step instructions and photos. Also included are six sample results and usually some full room photos so you can see a finished look. It also takes a variety of techniques to show theme rooms. For example Scandinavian room or a medieval hallway or a provencal kitchen. All pretty useful if you want to try special paint effects in your home.

a must have

I decided to paint my own kitchen cabinets using the faux finish style that is so attractive and popular today. In order to decide on the perfect method and style for my room I ordered 3 different books on painting finishes. I could have saved myself alot of money and just ordered this one book. It truly is the only book you will need for inspiration and direction. The pictures are large and the text is easy to understand and follow. Ms. Cohen has a classic on her hands that I reccommend to anyone who is interested in the art of faux finishing for the home. It is a must have for all at home art libraries.
