Glass Plant Shelf,

1t is a good idea to have glass cut
to fit a shelf on which plants stand.
The glass is easily cleaned and saves
the wood underneath. A piece Of
plate glass cut to fit a window ledge
or top of a radiator will often fur
rish a convenient shelf. A pretty tea
room has it's tables covered first with
an attractive pattern in cretonne, and
this in turn covered with plate glass
exactly fitting the tables.
