Decorating walls with paint and wallpaper is the most popular DIY project by a large margin. Yet, most books on the subject provide lots of discussion of colour schemes and decorating theory, but don't really tell readers the step-by-step basics of how to paint and wallpaper. Anyone can slap paint on a wall using a paint roller, following some colour scheme found in a designer magazine, but the precise information on exactly how to paint various materials and surfaces is often left up to the imagination. "Decorating 101" changes all that, with 25 basic but detailed projects for the decorating tasks that homeowners face. Readers are provided with everything they need to do each of these projects successfully. Information on tool tips, safety tips, shopping advice, tools and materials lists is given, along with the most detailed step by step information available in any consumer book on home repair.
