# This is not the same old lineup of faux finishes you’ve seen a thousand times before. Renowned faux finish artist Patrick Daly has assembled 30 warm, sophisticated finishes that are incredibly easy to live with. In fact, you won’t know how you ever lived without them! Achieve a feeling of age with Venetian plaster finishes, from rich Tuscan red to chocolate brown. Add even more charm by incorporating a touch of iridescent shimmer or stencil design.
# Create casual chic in no time with a laidback stripe (skip the time-consuming taping-off part) and the “Rub & Run” technique. (A squeeze condiment bottle makes it go even faster!)
# Give iron railings and ceiling medallions that old-world gilded look, only for a lot less money. If “classic” is your style, you’ll also love the elegant silver-leafed wall with burnished stenciling.
# Give new life to old kitchen cabinets—from Shabby Yet Chic crackled and distressed looks to a high-end, Oriental flair.
# Create a warm welcome by transforming a metal door into mahogany, and turning a concrete walkway into a beautiful brick path.
# Imitate the look of leather, marble, tiles and more. Inspired by everything from expensive wallpaper to a plate of brownies, each effect is shown in the finished room and illustrated step by step. You’ll find professional tricks of the trade and favorite tools and materials throughout. |
