Painted Finishes For Walls & Furniture: Easy Techniques For Great New Looks

By Susan Driggers

Wash a veil of color onto wood, marbleize a table, or glaze a wall. This comprehensive guide shows how to create a variety of textured and faux finishes using latex paint and easy-to-find tools. Age, crackle, and distress furniture for an antique look--instantly! Add a touch of whimsy with stencils, or paint decorations. The 30 projects include a faux inlay camisole table; marbleized fireplace and matching woodwork; textured and ragged walls in a formal living room; an antique door with faux woodgrain; and a distressed cabinet. There's a display of entire room treatments, and over 75 pictures show you how to do the job. The author lives in Lilburn, GA. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 11. NEW IN PAPERBACK.
