Publisher's Notes
Gary Lord has been creating beautiful paint finishes professionally for more than 20 years. This dazzling book marks the first appearance of Lord's trademark techniques in print, featuring 12 step-by-step projects for achieving an array of imaginative effects -- from elegant and contemporary to warm and classic. Full-color photos and Lord's masterful instruction make it easy for home decorators of all skill levels to create: -- simple yet versatile two-color rag blending and crackle finishing -- warm, textured and patterned effects using torn paper and newsprint -- dimensional textured finishes, such as realistic stone blocks and "sand drifts" -- metallic finishes that produce the illusion of sumptuous gold leaf. A stunning gallery of completed rooms offers decorators pages of inspiration with tips for applying these techniques to their own home interiors.
