The Bathroom Book
Price £12.20
The Bathroom Book sets out to offer a range of new and innovative decorating schemes for the bathroom, which are equally suited to rest of the house. This book shows how the versatile medium of stencilling can be used to create both modern and traditional effects, using many of the Motif stencils available on this website, with fully illustrated step by step guides for achieving really good results. Stencil projects show how to apply a silver aluminium leaf finish to the Large Koi Carp stencil; a mosaic effect splashback using the large Dolphin Mosaic stencil; detailed steps on creating a beautiful hand-painted, repeat wallpaper effect using the large Damask Repeat stencil; and reverse stencil techniques using etching spray on the Reverse Feathers stencil and spattered porcelain paint with the Simple Buckthorn Leaf stencil on ceramic tiles.
Elegant relief stencil effects using 3D stencil paste are also shown with the Modern Shells stencil; realistic tile effects using the Mediterranean Floor stencil; as well as stencilling onto fabrics with the Dragonfly stencil and the Wild Parsley Motif stencil. Other stencils featured include the Shoreline border stencil in a New England themed room, the Geometric Repeat stencil in a modern graphic scheme, the Gurjurat Indian stencils, the Plum Blossom and Moon stencil, the Mosaic Floor stencil, the Abstract Oriental stencil, the Koi Carp Duo and the popular Countryside Toile Repeat stencil.
Amongst other step by step projects in this book, Henny also shows how to create beautiful limestone marble, with a Trompe L'Oeil mirror effect, a modern, striking Calacatta (grey and white) marble finish and a stunning, vivid seascape mural.
The products used throughout the projects in this book are available on the Motif website.
