Your Home A Living Canvas: Create Stunning Faux Finishes & Murals with Paint
Bringing this book to life was the most rewarding challenge in my creative career! Using only paint, joint compound and a lot of imagination - I share with readers the amazing transformation, as a long neglected historic dwelling once again becomes a warm and inviting"HOME!"The book is basically a pictorial walk-through of each room in my private residence. Along the way I explain how every room concept developed and relates to the adjoining space from a design perspective. I then highlight each of the dramatic paint transformations with tons of beautifully photographed and detailed step-by-step images. There are over 30 unique projects featured which are accompanied with all the paint colors and materials and tools necessary to re-create the wall or ceiling treatment. Also included are unbelievable "before and after" pics of each room. It was my ultimate goal that this book awaken the creative passion in each reader. If you are simply a novice admirer of decorative painting and/or just love interior decorating and learning the secrets behind good design, I truly believe you will find this book bursting at the seams with inspiration! On the other hand, if you are a professional artist / interior designer or architect / home builder or remodeler / fellow historic home owner or admirer, etc. -"YOUR HOME A Living Canvas" is sure to ignite your creative juices!
