Customer Reviews

This book is awesome!

I love this book. Not only does it give you decorating ideas, but the pieces shown are stylish, sophisticated, and the directions on how to paint each piece are step-by-step. Very easy to understand. I highly recommend this book.

Good for dabblers and inspiration

The projects are simple and instructions are too. They're nicely laid out on the pages. But as someone who does decorative painting for a living, I wished there was more content to it; that the white space was used for more information, more detail, more projects, more. What is there is lovely. I chose it because the projects had a similar aesthetic--fresh, modern, playful--to mine and I'm always on the lookout for new inspiration.
