Review:
Concentrating on a wide array of decorative accessories for the home--not including adornments for walls, floors, and furniture--Fantastic Finishes presents more than 30 colorful, attractive techniques to adorn frames, boxes, trays, screens, small tables, and much more. In project after project you'll learn about wood finishes (antiquing, distressing, graining, crackling, and decoupage); metal finishes (verdigris, patina, foiling, and leafing); marble, stone, and shell finishes (malachite, fantasy marble, granite, abalone, and tortoiseshell); and decorative finishes (painted motifs, texturing, embossing, floral painting, and leather looks). To provide inspiration, each category closes with a photo gallery of items decorated using the techniques. There's also a handy chart showing 24 different finishes together across a double-page spread, making it easy to compare them when trying to choose a method for a particular project of your own.
