Customer Reviews

creative -- but what if you change your mind???

Step-by-step techniques for inspirational projects. How to add reveals of foil, pearls, glass gems, glazed leaves and fruits. Brilliant ideas, such as how to use cake decorating tools to make 3D leaves, vines, and flowers. "When in doubt add a scroll or color it gold". WOW. Check out the comments (below) for a good tip on helping with later removal of textured plaster if you decide to change the look of the room. (...I hate sanding).

LOVE this book!

I am a faux and decorative painter, and this book is perfect for adding interesting ideas to your portfolio that have a little "zing!" Great addition for any decorative painter's library!

Great New Faux Finishes..!!

As a professional Faux Finisher this book rates a 5 from me because it is easy to follow the steps and accomplish the finishes without a lot of expensive tools. These are out of the ordinary finishes and add punch to a portfolio that is mainly old world plaster finishes. Fun and do-able!! Even for a beginner..!

I'm inspired!

Thank you for inspiring me to start faux finishing! With your detailed instructions, colorful large photos, and list of items to buy, you make it very easy. Your ideas are fresh and fun! I am really enjoying your book - I would recommend it to everyone who is looking for something with extra pizazz! Not the same old colors and techniques.
