Grand Illusions New Decorating: Techniques, Ideas and Inspiration for Creating a Fresh Look - Hardcover
Synopsis
From the authors of Grand Illusions, here is new decorating at its very best, introducing a fresh fusion of styles into the home. Featuring 180 color photos and 40 projects for furniture, fabric, walls, floors, and accessories. This is a book for the way we decorate today, drawing inspiration from a wealth of sources to create a rich, innovative style of our own. Mixing and matching with exhilarating flair, Nick Ronald and David Roberts capture the essence of this new eclecticism. Using color as a starting point, they focus on four distinct decorating styles--Mediterranean, Eastern, Scandinavian, and Natural. Within each style, they offer marvelous ideas and projects, from hand-stamped muslin, cane shelving, and Indian-style shutters to color-washed walls, mosaic table tops, and a faux terracotta floor. Throughout, Nick and David debunk complicated techniques, offering clear, simple instructions for painting, finishing, and fabric treatments. Brimming with vibrant color photos as well as templates and motifs, this is a glorious guide to new decorating. 144 pp 8 1/2 x 11 180 color photos

From Library Journal
The authors (Grand Illusions: Paint Effects and Instant Decoration for Furniture, Fabric, Walls and Floors, LJ 5/15/97) have created a guide to their sensual, ethnically inspired design style and include projects to assist in creating the look. The projects here are more ambitious than those presented in their previous work, and the instructions are too sketchy, a one-page description of laying tile not being much use to an amateur. They do cover cement candle holders, relief plaster wall decorations, and pebble-bordered floors that are not presented elsewhere. Purchase only if there is an interest in this design team.
