Summary:
"Fake" it -- for real home-decorating beauty! If you've dreamed of owning a gilded bedhead or a balcony with a breathtaking ocean view, get ready to paint those fantasies into fact. With trompe l'oeil, stenciling, color-washing, faux finishes, and other techniques, almost anything in the house becomes a canvas for adding special effects -- walls, floors, and furniture. With the trace-off motifs, add "pine" paneling; patterns that resemble inlaid stone; and landscapes and murals everywhere.
