Comments: Bright Bold and Beautiful Normally I don't reveiw books without a specific author; however; when I saw this book had not been reveiwed I knew it deserved to get more attention. This is not your typical BH&G book. It is very artistically done with great color photos, easy instructions; lots of awesome, artistic, brightly colored designs and admittedly it's a beautifully done work of art. I especially enjoyed the great outdoors section; a swinging tire painted with a brightly colored design could make any kids yard come alive! The trio of colored urns would liven up any front porch. Anyway; if you are looking for something NEW; bright, bold and unique to create for your home or yard; you should be inspired after looking at this one! Be creative; don't just "stencil" your next peice of work! Surprise; surprise; surprise!

Comments: Paint Everything! "Springtime is a good time to get serious about home improvement. And one of the cheapest and best ways to make things look better inside and out is to add a fresh coat of paint. The Better Homes and Gardens folks have sponged, rolled, brushed, sprayed, masked, stenciled, layered, mixed colors, and painted just about everything they could find, from walls, rugs, lamps, and chairs, to tables and outdoor playhouses. And they have written this book to show their readers exactly how each project is done." (summary by South TX Library System)
