"This book compiles the best and most relevant information from Brian Santos' three previous titles, Painting Secrets, Faux Finish Secrets, and Wallcovering Secrets. To bring the content up-to-date, Brian has added explanations of the latest developments in tools, paint, clean-up materials, and techniques; discusses environmentally safe alternatives to toxic, hazardous, and environmentally harmful materials; and addresses current tastes, style preferences, and economic realities. Painting makes up the majority of the book, with smaller sections on faux finishing and wallcoverings, both how to apply them and how to remove them"--
