Paint Techniques
A Step-By-Step Guide

Life's too short for plain white walls.

Okay, so it's time for something different. Something new. Something beyond the ordinary paint job.

Paint techniques are easy (and inexpensive) ways to create a whole new mood for a room. With a technique, you can recreate the charm of a country cottage. Or the splendor of a European great house. Or the sleek modern lines of urban living. Even the playfulness of a kid's room. Just be creative. Experiment. With a little imagination and some great paint, nearly anything's possible.
