This month we show you what every faux finisher needs to complete their toolbox.

First, we introduce our new DVD: Four Finishes for Profit, featuring our own Kathy Carroll in cooperation with Perfetto, Inc.  In this fabulous new DVD, Kathy demonstrates four beautiful and easy to apply finishes using Perfetto and Blue Pearl products.  The first finish is a new plaster called Villaggio, which is a beautiful finish for any design.  Next, Kathy shows Glass Onyx, using Portofino and Bella Fresco.  This finish is very durable and can be used in homes with kids or even in bathrooms.  Kathy later adds Glass beads through a stencil to embellish this finish.  The third finish is “Painters Dream”, using Blue Pearl Metallic Paint as a base and then finishing with Blue Pearl Pearl Pastes.  She later shows a way to embellish this with Glass beads as well.  Finally, Kathy demonstrates another new product Sasso, and shows a Grass Cloth / Striae Design.  The DVD runs approximately 40 minutes, and shows how easy it can be to have a faux finish in any home.  It is now available for sale for only $9.95!

Next, we introduce three handy tools.  First, we have the ShurLine Bucket Opener only $4.95.  This handy red tool is perfect for opening big bucket lids.
There is also the P-38 Bucket Opener.   This convenient tool can open plastic buckets, metal buckets, and paint cans quickly, easily and safely.  It costs $4.95 also.
Finally, we introduce the B100 Knife with Opener for only $9.95.  This excellent tool is a can opener, paint mixer and putty knife all in one. This is a “Must Have” for every faux finishers’ toolbox.
