3-0 out of 5 stars Kinda Boring!
Unfortunately I wasn't very impressed with the artwork. Out of all of the featured artists maybe two actually impressed me. Not that the others weren't talented (the artists themselves probably are, just the artwork they chose to feature was plain and ordinary). If you're looking for something to go wow over I suggest The Art Of Trompe L'oeil Murals by Yves Lanthier or The Painted House by Graham Rust.

4-0 out of 5 stars Artistic Finishes LLC of Milwaukee recommendation
Interesting suggestions for a variety of wall and object painting techniques.Easy to follow steps using paint & plasters for the beginner to the experienced faux finisher.
4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent idea book and great for Professionals
This is NOT a step-by-step or "how to" book, which is part of it's charm. This is definately written for the professional decorator or painter, but the beautiful finishes can be appreciated by the novice too. Excellent read and great coffee table book in one. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Beautiful to look through but rather Standard
This little book is beauty for the coffee table, but unfortunatly it offers no real inovative or new ideas.I bought it a while ago but just got round to using it in my projects.It offers the traditional mix and match of fabrics with wall coverings.It actually is more interesting as a general interior design book than one exclusively for wallpaper as the title would suggest.The pictures show the wallpaper used to only decorate a room, rather than to create you know that something that you want by changing from paint to wallpaper or just changing the wallpaper to achieve a new look. ...

Editorial Review

"There are as many ways to paint a subject using decorative painting techniques as there are decorative painters," says expert painter and masterful teacher Andy Jones. Though it may take a while to reach a high degree of proficiency, the systematic nature of the form means that even beginners can produce competent results. Yet there is still much room for creativity: following step-by-step instructions does not have to produce a formulaic outcome; quite to the contrary, as this adroitly presented guide makes clear. Once you learn the basics and practice the exercises, you'll be well equipped not only to do justice to the lovely projects, but also to design your own. Jones's approach is very thorough; he offers solid information (for both acrylics and oils) on all aspects of equipment, preparations, and basic techniques, then presents 13 projects in detail. He bedecks crockery, a cutting board, and a serving tray with luscious fruits, and strews beautiful flowers over boxes, lampshades, and frames. His results are gorgeous, and best of all, yours can be, too. Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A wonderful addition to the Mary Engelbreit book collection.
This is a typical Mary Engelbreit book with lavish pictures and a "vintagey", comfortable look.Where some of her books are more for ideas than how-to's, this one is not.While you will most definitely find much inspiration in these pages, it also includes shopping lists and detailed instructions for recreating these looks in your home.There are many painting techniques described, including striping, sponging, glazing, and a few more!

5-0 out of 5 stars I'VE LOVE THIS BOOK. AND I'VE READ OVER A DOZEN.
This is my most treasured painting bible. 4-0 out of 5 stars A Correction
Not much to add to the review below, but the description states that the book is 'color throughout'.In fact, most of the photos are in black and white.However, this does not detract from the information contained.There is a color section showing some house exteriors when discussing color choices.A good choice for the new homeowner who has never painted and wants to know how to do it right.It doesn't take much more effort to do the job right than to do it wrong for lack of knowledge.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great for the do-it-yourselfer
This is one of those picture books for someone who has never painted anything before.NOT FOR a pro.I ended up skimming some of it.But There were a few points mentioned that would be helpful to someone who has never painted before.So if you are looking to fix up that living room or siding in this tight market and have never painted... try this. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars Not so inspiring
This book had some cute project ideas, but not many that truly inspired me.Many of the projects just didn't tie together into themed rooms.To me, the rooms were not that creative nor ones that I would want to use.This book really wasn't what I was looking for for children's room ideas.If you are just looking to make a few projects (i.e. decorated lamp, storage box, or bulletin board) this book may be what you are looking for.However, if you want to totally redo your child's room another book may provide more inspiration.

5-0 out of 5 stars The BEST decorating book for kids' rooms
I've looked through several different books for decorating kids' rooms and if I could only keep one this would be it.This book shows you how to create a beautiful room for your children by just using paint...painting the walls, ceiling furniture, floor, rug, headboard, shelves, decorating accessories or whatever.I am not an artist or interior decorator but I felt like I could do every project described.Most decorating books just show you a finished room and a few comments about different unique characteristics of the room.This book gives detailed instructions for how to create the entire theme yourself.Some of the themes described are castle, safari adventure, carribbean, fairy tale, circus and many more.If you want to transform your child's room into a creative haven all on your own then you MUST have this book. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Last of 7 "small decor" books rated
I am irked at this book's deceptive marketing. Unlike other "small space" books, these authors withhold sq-footage measures, but-DUH!-the photos reveal HUGE rooms. Not a trick of the camera, nor an illustration of how their use of color "expands," a typical "small" bedroom featured here accommodates a K-size bed + 3-cushion sofa + huge fireplace + museum size oil paintings & swagged draperies fit for a palace. A living room "seating area" has a 3-cushion sofa + love seat + 3 large upholstered chairs + a day bed + a rocker, all spread around a coffee table big enough to accommodate the 11 people sitting there. Perhaps "small" is relative. My small 3-BR condo is 1400 sq. ft. The average US apt. is 800 sq ft. So if 4,000 sq ft is "small" to you, buy this book, but you'll find color charts that any paint store has, and poor reproduction of colors in the photos. Better yet, buy any decorating mag at the grocery store: even average rooms shown will be smaller than the "smallest" in this book.

1-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
This book does not seem to address small spaces. I guess if you live in a house in the burbs that cost at least a couple of hundred thousand, maybe it will work for you. I live in an apartment in the city and I saw very little that I could use from this book. The color schemes were VERY bland. White/off-white and gold seem to prevail in their color palette. I found this book boring and unuseable. Fortunately I only paid $3 for the book and $3.50 for the shipping; maybe I'll give it to the goodwill and they can find someone who might appreciate it. Majorly disappointed.

1-0 out of 5 stars misguided
While I agree with the people who have already reviewed this book that the pictures are very good, and the colors combinations are good, I would not say that the authors were guided by the concepts of small spaces that are in the real world.Read more
