ON THE COVER: Joann Swanson�s Dream Room Contest continues with this amalgam of several submissions asking for child�s room in Mission style. In her inimitable style, Joann gives us techniques for faux-painting ammonia-fumed oak finishes, making hardwood floors from window blinds, and a host of other lessons on her way to recreating a memory in 1:12 scale.
