Decorate the green way with natural finishes
We've all heard about the benefits of using eco-friendly materials to do up your house, but how to you make the most out of these often unfamiliar products and techniques? This beautifully illustrated new book by Adam Weismann and Katy Bryce will show you how.
You'll find out how to choose, mix and apply 'breathable' alternatives to traditional paint, like lime and clay based plasters, renders, paints and washes. There are also easy to follow DIY projects to guide you through all aspects of using these natural finishes, with beautiful photographs of techniques and examples from the UK and abroad. The authors work with lime and clay on a daily basis and learnt these skills through restoring ancient vernacular buildings in Cornwall; traditional techniques thay have applied to a series of successful contemporary ‘eco’ builds. £20 From Greenbooks.
