Designer Debbie Travis demonstrates how easy and accessible home decorating can be. Her techniques are designed for the do-it-yourselfer on a budget. Travis provides step-by-step instructions and lists all the necessary materials and tools to complete each project. In this episode of Debbie Travis' Painted House, Travis demonstrates how to create an Art Nouveau dining room. She creates stylish yet practical canvas place mats. The walls are covered in Anaglypta paper and then painted -- a common element of the Nouveau period. She completes the walls by cheese clothing the unpapered portions, creating a soft and subtle room.
