Simple and easy to use for the not so artistic person

This book is great for beginners who do not have the artistic eye. There are step by step directions and a lot of large colorful photos to make even the beginner paint like a pro. They also offer variations on each project so that you can customize your look. Each project also has a detailed list of the tools you will need so you will be completely ready before you start your project.

Good Step-by-Step for Beginners

This is another Taunton book that is part of the "do it Now, do it Fast, do it Right" series. This one addresses changing a room with paint. What is so good about this book is that it includes detailed color photographs with it's step-by-step guide for each project. Each project includes info on tools, materials and tips on how to do it right. There is also a side bar called "What's Different" where they point out diferences in products you may use (for example, joint compound). I picked up this book because it contained several projects I was especially interested in: painting trim, striping walls, painting floors and painting cabinets. Of course there are many more projects, including other paint techniques like strie walls, stencils, splatter, painting a cloud ceiling and "old world techniques. This is a great book for those who want a detailed guide on how to paint and need step-by-step guides for specific projects.
