Wood grain is a very popular finish in home decorating and even in fashion. This wood-grain style is known as faux bois, which is the artistic imitation of wood or wood grains. Faux bois was originally popular from the late 19th century until the 1940's. It was mostly used in the garden where concrete items were transformed to look like wood.
