This work presents 27 original paint projects that turn flea market finds and generic unfinished furniture in country sytle heirlooms. The book is organized by technique - sponging, stippling, decoupage etc - and each technique is demonstarted on a humble piece of furniture. The projects are designed to be completed in an afternoon, or at most a weekend and all materials are environmentally sound so you don"t need masks or gloves. This books"s easy-to-follow instructions and over 200 illustrations should enable even complete novices to transform battered trunks, nondescript chairs, tables and armoires into country treasures.
