25 Decorative Projects for the Home

Decorative paint techniques provide the quickest, easiest, cheapest and most effective ways to create stylish and eye-catching interiors. Paint Effects presents 25 original treatments from whole room schemes to decorating furniture and home accessories. To create a country look, whitewash the kitchen or use a dry-brush technique to "age" new pine furniture. For a more classical approach: A project shows how to frottage a hallway with a traditional green paint. Trompe l'oeil is represented with a beautiful imitation Tuscan doorway and stenciling with an exciting surface of aluminum leaf.
