This text presents an illustrated guide to improving interior rooms with paint, wallcoverings and other decorative materials using professional techniques. Beginning with an overview of colour and decorating principles, the book demonstrates the basics of painting and wallcovering, including: selecting and estimating materials; preparing the room; removing existing paint and wallcovering; repairing damaged walls and woodwork; application techniques; and cleanup methods. The featured projects aim to appeal to all skill levels and experienced do-it-yourselfers should be interested in the advanced painting and wallcovering projects including: sponge painting; block printing; stenciling; rag rolling; painting faux finishes; painting and staining floors; hanging speciality wall coverings; and creating wallcovering cut-outs. There are also projects for adding architectural elements such as cornices, wall moldings and ceiling medallions. Each project is demonstrated with clear, step-by-step instructions and how-to photographs.
