A gorgeous treat for anyone interested in interior design.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Stencilled Home: 13 Themed Room Styles (Hardcover)
It would be easy to be misled by this book's title. If you have visited the house that features in the text and photographs (as I have, many times), you will see that stencils are only a part of the ingenious techniques used to create stunning rooms at minimum cost. Each room is like a miniature stage set, and the photographs in the book show that in both breadth and detail. Michael Chippendales stencil designs are so much more sophisticated than anything else on the market, and the skill with which they have been integrated with paintwork, printed on fabrics, and imaged on glass is quite breathtaking. But not only are the photographs quite wonderful (and the book is worth the money for their sake alone), but the explanations given by Helen Morris to achieve the same effects in your own home are practical and achievable. The authors really do make the designers in Home Front and other TV shows seem simply second rate. It's about time they had their own programme! Order it, and once you've leafed through you won't want to send it back. I didn't.

The Artistic Stenciler book review,
By AFJ Spring 2000 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Stencilled Home: 13 Themed Room Styles (Hardcover)
There's simply no other book like 'The Stenciled Home'. When you open the book you embark on an amazing and delightful tour of thirteen themed rooms of Morris' stenciling work... Instead of following a trend into trompe l'oeil stenciling, Morris' shows us the immense possibilities that simple stenciling has in the ability to literally transform the interior of your home... It is the imaginative and innovative use of stencils that make this book invaluable... This is a stenciled house from top to bottom and definitely something not to be missed.

The Armed Forces Journal Book review.,
By AFJ Spring 2000 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Stencilled Home: 13 Themed Room Styles (Hardcover)
If you are looking for a relatively easy way to add a touch of individuality to your quarter which can be removed before handover, then stencilling may be the answer. It's cheap, adaptable, and easily painted over- and can be as individual as you want! 'The Stencilled Home' by Helen Morris is a book to inspire you- full of sophisticated and imaginative ideas, each chapter focuses on a themed room, with step by step guides and stencil packs to trace.

Well worth the money,
By Harry Keaton "Buddy in Texas" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Stencilled Home: 13 Themed Room Styles (Hardcover)
In recent months, I have become interested in stenciling. Not traditional stenciling, but new texturing techniques, using plaster. Although this book does not cover plaster stenciling. It does give a wide variety of stenciling ideas, that can easily be adapted to texture stenciling. I recommend the purchase of this book, it is well worth the money.
