Very good ideas and beautiful examples of what can be done with Faux finishing. I was fortunate enough to visit the "House that Faux built" in Virginia and the book has great photographs. Realizing that this is not another how to do it book, but rather an exposure to many marvelous things that can be done with Faux techniques, I have found it to be a good resource for ideas and examples.
