"Five Stars" according to Pamela W Seitz. great. "Not a "How To" Book" according to Cottage Rooster. I purchased this book along with another it was paired with "Your Home a Living Canvas" by Curtis Heuser. I was looking for help in learning some basic faux techniques, as I am nearing the completion of a major home remodeling project.

There are surprises in every room-(such as a "broken wine glass" painted on the steps or a woman in just a towel painted on the bathroom door.)Ideas to change a home without ripping things out--a cat stained wood parquet floor stained to resemble an inlay wood persian carpet or an ugly refrigerator made over to look like a built-in.
