Wurden's second video in the faux Fun series takes viewers through
ten different techniques for decorating homes with paint and texture.
Including before and after shots, Wurden demonstrates each off the
steps clearly, while anticipating problems a beginner might have,
and including suggestions for fixing the inevitable goofs. A time
counter reference is provided to help the viewer fast forward to
the "finish" they are interested in seeing. Although these
types of videos generally tend to become outdated quickly as home
decorating trends change, this video is worthwhile because the technique
of creating a faux finish can be applied to other objects besides
walls, including furniture, paper, floors, etc. A booklet is included
with the video that summarizes the steps for each technique and
list necessary supplies. Recommended, especially for those who already
have the first tape and don't have similar fare. Aud: P. (L. Stevens)
