This is wonderful updated version of the original, which I totally loved, too! For those who dare declare they do not possess a “creative bone in their body,” you can actually do this stuff! Give it a try. Adrienne’s ideas and talent are an inspiration.

Ok, I admit it. Visual arts are not my strong suit, even though I love decorating. My thing is words, not walls. I need help creating the rooms I envision, and this book gives it. How to get from the idea for faux looks in my head to the actual effect in the room is a challenge for me, but this book makes it so much easier. Pictures, descriptions and techniques take the worry out and put the beauty in! It works for me! Buy it, you will be glad you did!

I was one of the lucky people to receive Adrienne’s first version of her book. It was very well done and gave my husband and me several ideas for “fauxing” our guest cabin, which we were in the process of renovating. Our guests have raved about the ideas we used from Adrienne’s book. The new edition is even better. We’ve decided to add Adrienne’s book to our selection of guest books. It’s been very well received by people who tire of typical magazine articles. This is substance that you can actually implement!
