Color Your World

Learn Inexpensive, Unique and Uncomplicated painting techniques and infuse your home with fun colors and designs by taking the advice of paint expert Sunny Goode, author of Paint Can! 


     Sunny- how could you not take the advice of someone with such a colorful name- offers detailed projects on color-washing, stenciling and painting horizontal stripes and plaids, along with many others.  The book opens with an explanation about what paint can do for wall, ceiling, floor, and furniture, and how to successfully incorporate this medium into your decorating scheme.  Decorating tips such as "make a room look cozy" and "create harmony," are not only helpful but are exemplified in the accompanying photography.  Included is "Paint 101," a section designed for those who don't normally use paint when decorating, in which Sunny discusses finishes, top coats, and other miscellaneous paint terms that might boggle those unfamiliar with the paint section of the local hardware store.
    Additionally, each project includes a convenient shopping list and detailed instructions, as well as all the steps from the beginning of a project to the end.
     Readers are sure to be inspired by the projects featured in this book and satisfied with the outcome.
