Annie Sloan's Painted Garden 25 Easy Outdoor Paint Effects to Transform Any Surface

The play of light and shade can make outdoor painting projects more daunting than interior ones, so world-renowned decorative painting expert Annie Sloan begins this book with a lesson in understanding and managing color. Sloan shows do-it-yourselfers how to create a cozy dinner nook, accent open spaces with converted salvage, and paint an old plastic pot to resemble an elegant metallic planter. Full-color photographs accompany each stage of the process, with step-by-step instructions that encourage readers to use every imaginable material - paint, pebbles, sand, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, mirrors, and tiles - to give grace to a garden or panache to a patio. Sloan's enthusiasm is so contagious that any outdoor surface will look like a blank canvas crying for color.Sloan, Annie is the author of 'Annie Sloan's Painted Garden 25 Easy Outdoor Paint Effects to Transform Any Surface' with ISBN 9781571459275 and ISBN 1571459278.
