Customer Reviews

Jocasta Innes completely rocks!

This is a great great book, as are all of Jocasta Innes' books, imo. The projects are just beautiful and to include patterns is pure genius. You won't be disappointed.

Sophisticated patterns give new life to painted furniture.

If you enjoy the techniques of many do-it-yourself crafts but aren't fond of the country or primitive patterns, this is your guide to painting furniture. Jocasta Innes, with Stewart Walton, has brought her painting expertise to furniture with 34 designs that will appeal to the most sophisticated painter. Themes include leaf and berry borders, rococo ribbons, english roses, rope borders, sun,moon & stars motifs,and a selection of classic motifs that will give new life to painted furniture. The authors give explicit directions and creative ideas for using their designs in a variety of ways. The book even comes with separate patterns and transfer paper that are housed in a pocket at the back of the book. So, forget that tired pineapple border, and make a statement with scrolls, fluer-de-lys, or a neoclassic wreath. Finally a book for the more sophisticated traditionalists! Once you own this book, your only problem will be choosing which pattern to start with!
