Great easy to follow instruction with lots of pictures that go with the instructions. Gives lots of ideas to use and in what room or area they would look the best.

I found this book to be extremely informative. So many of the faux-finishing books today are the same old techniques, and they all seem to look like the last one you looked at. I do faux finishing for a living and I actually learned a few things I didn't know that will save me money. For instance, instead of using the $35/gal. glaze to manipulate your paint and extend drying time, you can use wallpaper paste (considerably cheaper). I highly recommend this book.
