Master Works: How to Use Paint Finishes to Transform Your Surroundings

I have several books on decorative painting, and of course Jocasta Innes' is the definitive work on the subject. However, I would recommend this as a second purchase as not only are the finishes and their processes discussed, actual application is shown. The author demonstrates all her techniques with an actual application in a home or apartment. The book is not only very informative on finishes, but promises many projects for those of us who may have trouble getting our creativity and applications in gear.
