Very Good Paint Ideas

I just bought a new house, my first, and it was very important to me that it look like a showcase. I did plenty of research before I bought any interior decorating books. I even talked to a professional interior designer who gave me some free advice: get what you like. I like this book. It has more faux finishes than I have rooms in my house, so I can repaint in a few years with different styles I've learned about in this book. Some of the finishes are a little too "cute" for me, but it is still a book with techniques I've never seen before. I also recommend Recipes for Surfaces, Decorative Paint Finishes Made Simple by Mindy Drucker. Her book is not "cute" at all, and together, these books tell you all you need to know about paint finishes.
