CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Simple and easy to use for the not so artistic person -
This book is great for beginners who do not have the artistic eye. There are step by step directions and a lot of large colorful photos to make even the beginner paint like a pro. They also offer variations on each project so that you can customize your look. Each project also has a detailed list of the tools you will need so you will be completely ready before you start your project.

Good Step-by-Step for Beginners -
This is another Taunton book that is part of the "do it Now, do it Fast, do it Right" series. This one addresses changing a room with paint.

What is so good about this book is that it includes detailed color photographs with it's step-by-step guide for each project. Each project includes info on tools, materials and tips on how to do it right. There is also a side bar called "What's Different" where they point out diferences in products you may use (for example, joint compound).

I picked up this book because it contained several projects I was especially interested in: painting trim, striping walls, painting floors and painting cabinets. Of course there are many more projects, including other paint techniques like strie walls, stencils, splatter, painting a cloud ceiling and "old world techniques.

This is a great book for those who want a detailed guide on how to paint and need step-by-step guides for specific projects.
