For 15 years, designer Karen Petrus Williams has experimented and developed an array of shortcuts for creating heirloom-quality home decor, which she reveals here along with her finest projects. All are done on flea market purchases with acrylic paints, using simple yet eye-pleasing processes of building and blending on the surface. Colour photographs, worksheets and patterns guide even beginners through 20 lovely pieces, all exquisitely embellished with such vintage-style flourishes as floral wreaths, scrolls and cartouches. The items include a topiary armoire, a panel of roses trunk and oval cameo desk, plus there are tips to customise the pattern for other furniture types.
