Paint Recipes

Résumé du livre

No one combines the stylish and the practical like Jocasta Innes. Through popular books like her landmark Paint Magic, she has introduced millions of people to striking yet inexpensive decorating effects -- and shown them step-by-step how to achieve each look.

Now, in this new series of affordable small-format guides, Innes turns her matchless expertise and creative flair to four different decorating challenges. Color illustrates a host of proven color palettes -- and then shows how to jazz things up with an unexpected combination. Paint Recipes is a veritable paint magic cookbook that highlights new techniques and offers intriguing variations on old favorites. Underfoot showcases a wealth of floor-decorating options, from cheerful stencils and painted designs to mosaics and floor cloths. Finally, In Your Own Write -- the most unusual volume in the series -- shows how to incorporate lettering and writing into a design scheme with twenty-six projects for fabrics, walls, furniture, and accessories.
