This book has been very useful for me when I've wanted to do something different than just paint a wall. I've learned how to rag paint and use glazes, how to wallpaper properly & even what kind of trims to use. There's even a chapter on how to use fabric on a wall - which if done right looks really great. This book comes with a lot of great tips and advise on paint & wall coverings. :-)
