FLOOR STYLE DECORATING TECHNIQUES

The ideas inside are so simple and creative, yet anyone can do them! It doesn't matter whether the floor is wood, vinyl, linoleum or asphalt: the exciting treatments are applied to almost every material, indoors and out, as well as ideas for covering it up completely with decorated cloths and rugs. Stain and stencil wood with faux parquet or a leaf garland; for drama, mix country French stripes and spatters in the kitchen; bring nature right onto your screen porch with a mountain laurel pattern. Best of all are the collection of patterns for canvas. Choose from: sunny yellow "luscious lemons", painted with a resist technique; "Comparing Pears and Oranges" with bright washes of colour; "Magnolia Elegance" for chic focal points; and many others.
