Antiques-authority Judith Miller reveals the specialists' techniques for transforming surfaces and furniture to suit every kind of country-style home. From painting and distressing to waxing and liming, here are hundreds of ideas and 16 step-by-step projects for furniture, walls, floors, windows, and woodwork. Country finishes from around the world, including the influences of Provence, Tuscany, Sweden, New England, and New Mexico, offer diverse options for accenting interiors in any location and style. Imperfections such as rough edges, brushmarks, and uneven texture are all desirable effects for the rustic, less sophisticated look of the country.
