Embellish your home with this week’s free painting project, Painted
Scrolls. If you don’t have ceiling beams
in your home, you can use this scrolling pattern as a border on your walls, or
you could use it to decorate a hutch or table. Slightly distressing the paint
with 220-grit sandpaper will create a worn, aged appearance and add to rustic
charm to your home.
You can find this painting project in Paint Effects for a Timeless Home by Tobias Freccia. With the book’s 35 step-by-step demonstrations featuring popular decorating styles from Tuscany, England, France, Early America and Rural Mexico, you can transform even the most modest dwellings into warm, welcoming interiors.
