The second section, "Techniques," is essentially a manual covering how to paint and how to use the tools and materials to create spectacular, professional results. "Projects and Designs," which makes up the largest portion of the book, contains plans for unusual, elegant, and whimsical wall treatments; exciting border designs; painted doors with nature themes; cabinets; fabric screens; delightfully individualized picture frames; and dozens more projects that are diverse enough to appeal to the style and taste of almost anyone.
