"This book is both beautiful and useful. Aided by over 100 excellent color photographs and 50 line drawings that illustrate the stunning variety of her achievements in the decoration of walls, furniture, and textiles, Wilson asserts throughout that anyone can produce effective decorations by following her simple methods. She provides detailed instructions for such techniques as sponging, antiquing, marbling, graining, dyeing, and framing. Materials needed and methods of working occupy much of the text, with appropriate illustrations from Wilson's own work. Stencil patterns are also provided. Wilson's exclusive use of water-based paints adds to the reader's comfort in trying her ideas. Unlike Graham Rust's The Painted House ( LJ 12/1/88), an equally beautiful invitation to create murals that lacks instructions for the beginner, Wilson's book makes this decorative style accessible.
