The Practical Guide to Decorative Antique Effects

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.
