Annie Sloan's Painted Garden: 25 Easy Outdoor Paint Effects To Transform Any Surface Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The play of light and shade can make outdoor painting projects more daunting than interior ones, so world-renowned decorative painting expert Annie Sloan begins this book with a lesson in understanding and managing color. Sloan shows do-it-yourselfers how to create a cozy dinner nook, accent open spaces with converted salvage, and paint an old plastic pot to resemble an elegant metallic planter. Full-color photographs accompany each stage of the process, with step-by-step instructions that encourage readers to use every imaginable material - paint, pebbles, sand, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, mirrors, and tiles - to give grace to a garden or panache to a patio. Sloan's enthusiasm is so contagious that any outdoor surface will look like a blank canvas crying for color.

Beautiful Book. Lots of pictures for ideas and for step-by-step processes for projects! Easy to understand! Even looks great sitting on the coffee table! Beautiful, rich colors on cover and throughout!
This book made me want to run outside and make over my mess of a backyard. She makes it seem so easy! I wish she'd just come over and do it for me.
Great and easy tips to follow. As with all Annie Sloan's books it has pages full of inspirational projects.
