| | Complete Paint Effects explores three of the most popular and enduring techniques: paint effects, stenciling and stamping. There are over 55 projects to suit every kind of decorative style, from the bright and contemporary to the traditional and classical. The first section, Paint Effects, shows how you can create different effects and moods using soothing or bold colors. There are enticing ideas for lime-washed walls or a front hallway using traditional green colors. For a more modern look, comb a pattern on your floor in oranges or reds. There are also ideas for decorating furniture and accessories. The second section, Stenciling, looks at an ever-popular technique that can be used as a border around a room, as an all-over pattern or to provide subtle accents in a larger room scheme. The final section, Stamping, explores one of the newest, most innovative decorating techniques and a quick, accessible and effective alternative to stenciling. Effects can range from bold motifs to intricate designs hand-tinted with watercolors and can be applied to any surface. |

| Window top treatments can be tailored or free-flowing, elegant or casual, simple or ornate. A top treatment can be used alone to soften the window frame and add color and style. Often, though, window top treatments are the finishing touch over curtains, draperies, shades, or blinds, where they not only embellish the look but hide clunky lift mechanisms or other hardware.
Top treatments are very popular DIY projects. They take relatively little fabric, time, or sewing experience, but add a lot of decorating style to a room. |

With 15 easy to follow, fabulously illustrated step-by-step projects, this is just what the beginning upholsterer needs. The first eight items--including a drop-in-bottom chair, overstuffed seat, and box cushion--teach the fundamental techniques required to tackle any upholstery task that might arise. After that, it's time to get more creative, with a beautiful Art Deco armchair, chaise longue, leather chesterfield, and more. Each project includes a list of tools and materials, a quick overview of the key skills, and tip boxes to make the work go more smoothly.
Save your old sofa or stuffed chair by reupholstering it. This book outlines the process clearly and concisely, with wonderfully detailed illustrations and photos for every step of the way. Sowle and Dye, craftspeople from England with their own upholstery web site (www.oldsofas.com), handle the topic expertly, covering basic techniques, tools, and materials. The layout is crisp and cohesive, which results in an attractive book. Although this is essentially a British publication, with lists of overseas suppliers, comparable materials and tools are available in the United States. Good for beginners; recommended for public libraries. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information. |
