The rooms looked elegant, and were
the admiration of all the guests. The
rooms have just been decorated by
Messrs. Eckstrom & Strasburg, the cele-
brated art decorators of Los Angeles.
There is high dado of Lincrusta Wal
ton around the halls and up the stair
way, finished in maroon lake, high
lighted in gold, copper and green
bronze. The walls are of the same tone
of the dado, with a fine tracery in
lighter tones and gold in the old empire
style, having broad frieze to match,
divided from the wall by a picture
rail. The lower hall ceiling is covered
with Lincrusta, in the empire style,
blended in maroon and olive tints,
having the relief most successfully
p cked out in green, gold and copper
prcnze, all of which harmonize most
charmingly with the walls and dado.
On the newell i'll the lower hall is fine
piece OF carving, in the shape of
Moor, holding in his hand three-light
caudelabra. The work of art was I'M
ported from Italy by Mr.. Perry at cost
OF $3.50. The ceiling in the upper hall
is done in fresco, very charmingly exc
cuted, having a sitting of lighter tone
than the wall, and divided from the
ceiling proper by gold beading. The
main ceiling is tinted in tones of aerial
blue, on which several cupids are
painted in very charming manner.
Besides the hall, Mr.. Perry has also had
decorated bedroom in blue and ivory
Lignomuer paper, having a ceiling
modelled in Louis XVI style and very
successfully executed in color. The
whole establishment givesa very pleas
ing effect and reflects great credit upon
Messrs. Eckstrom & Strasburg, the deco
rators who have 80 successfully carried
out the work.
