If you a devoted One Stroker (those who watch her demonstrations on TV) and belong to her-on line-web site and have most of her beginner books and tips and go to her certification classes and use the paints and brushes she recommends you will not fully comprehend the value of this book and its contents. It is a wonderful guide to things that are possible.

I am a new and inexerienced painter. I have many of Donna Dewberry's books and I enjoy them very much. This one gave me ideas of how I could paint flowers on the wall. I like that any one can paint flowers on the wall without stencils. Donna is very talented. The book has so many color photographs. This book should be purchased with one of her many other books explaining how to paint the flowers or whatever. This book does not go into how to paint flowers, but rather ideas and inspiration for one to paint their own mural. This book makes you want to get a bunch of paint and paint every room in the house!

This book has some amazing ideas that could dress up any home. She has ideas for everything from a little girl's room to the laundry room. I used her design for the greek columns/grapes in my own kitchen. The results were wonderful! One note of caution: this book is for people who have some of Donna's other books as it lacks a lot of the step-by-step instructions and patterns that they have. I would suggest getting a feel for free-hand painting before attempting anything that this book has to offer.
