In Paint Techniques for Home Decorating, seven simple methods–sponging, ragging, brush texturing, combing, mopping, stenciling, and block printing–yield a variety of pretty wall effects and home accessories. Beginners should have little trouble with most of the techniques, each of which is explained in general and then put into practice in one of the four dozen step-by-step projects. A stenciled magnolia-bedecked trellis climbs a folding screen; a beautiful trompe l’oeil rug is painted and block-printed right on the wood floor; a nine-drawer apothecary chest sports a different combed finish on each drawer; a bedroom combines positive and negative stippling divided by a brushed basket-weave pattern in a soothing array of blues. The look tends toward country (heavy on the trailing ivy and the pastel shades), but of course the techniques can be adapted to any decor style.–Amy Handy
