From Library Journal
Gray and Innes have created a guide to using decorative paint effects for every surface in the home. Detailed instructions and step-by-step photographs demonstrate using techniques with style and imagination. The first half of the book gives basic and professional redecorating methods for painting, wall-coverings, tiling, ceilings, woodwork, furniture, and floors. The second half has more advanced ideas and directions for rag rolling, wood-graining, marbling, stippling, stencilling, splattering, and bambooing. Most techniques will require some practice, but this how-to and interior design guide can be a source of endless inspiration. For public libraries. Better Homes & Gardens Book Club selection.

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First Edition, Second Printing. "A professional finish depends on careful preparation, and the first half of the book is a practical guide to basic and professional decorating techniques, from painting and papering to tiling and flooring. Written with an easy warmth, much of this part of the book is in question-and-answer form, making it simple to go directly to the particular decorating problem being confronted. In the second half, more advanced, "designer techniques-rag rolling, sponging, and many others-are explained with clear, step-by-step photographs and detailed instructions. The starting point of each section is a beautiful room, inviting and perfectly suited to a particular technique being explained." Profusely illustrated in full-color photography with accompanying descriptive captions/passages. 192 pages. Minor bumping to top of DJ spine and some shelf rubbing to DJ cover, elsewise a fine, bright, clean, tight, decorator/collector-worthy copy. *NOTE: Due to size and weight of book additional shipping will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment.
