Many Of the rattan chairs used in blue
and white bedrooms, and in other rooms
Where a blue chair would harmonize
with the other surroundings, are painted
with dark blue enamel paints in colOrs
ranging from bright dark blue to a

dust quickly, that can be easily brushed
out. and they are soiled much less
quickly than chairs enameled in white.
When cushions are used in these chairs
they are of pale blue linen, Of blue
denim tufted with white or dark blue
or of white embroidered in blue. Gre
tonnes in large flowers on a blue ground
are also used. Sometimes the tea table
of rattan is also painted a dark blue,
as well as the waste-basket that stands
by the desk.
