Book Synopsis Designer Faux Finishing by : Victor DeMasi
Download or read book Designer Faux Finishing written by Victor DeMasi and published by Quarry Books. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faux finishing, or decorative painting, is the process of applying multiple layers of interior house paint and glaze to craft a textured or photorealistic pattern, such as wood grain, marbling, a cloudscape, and onward to more complex murals and trompe l’oeil. Most of the other faux-painting titles in the market focus on either room shots *or* finished paint swatches but do not successfully evoke both inspirational and hard-working images. Designer Faux Finishing fills that empty niche. The room designs in Designer Faux Finishing will inspire homeowners to transform their homes into leather-worn libraries, ancient grottos or French streetscapes with just a little help from paint. Each image shows a faux treatment within the context of interior color, design, and lighting, enabling readers to make design decisions when working on their own or with interior designers. Twenty of these photos feature tutorials that deconstruct the techniques used and instruct readers on the nuances of replicating those looks in their homes.

Book excerpt: Seville, Indiana has five traffic lights and one interior design firm—Designer Jeans, co-founded by Jean Hastings and her daughter, Jean Jr. Lately they’re finding that the keen eyes needed for plotting color schemes and tracking down flea-market treasures also come in handy for interpreting more sinister designs… Death of the party Even the death of a local bookseller can’t throw a pall over the grand re-opening of the Sleepy Hollow Country Club’s dining room. It’s a triumph for Jean, who transformed it from tired and bland to Art Deco grand. But when the manager—who fought Jean every step of the way—rises to make a toast, he promptly falls down dead. Two fatalities in one week have aroused Jean’s curiosity—and her instincts for discovering deadly patterns…
