REFINISHING
FURNITURE
by LOrettO C. Lynch

hold Management.

II A BOUT to be married, we
IA have been looking at
"a the furniture shown
in the shops having sales. We
have very little money to spend
and have set our hearts on white
furniture for the bedroom, partly
because it is rather a dark room
in the only apartment we can af-
ford. But we find it much be-
yond what we can afford to pay.
Would you advise looking ! in
the secondhand shops?"
Were I in your place I'd pick
out the pieces you want in a
substantial golden oak finish.
There is a paint and varnish re-
mover which acts like magic.
Completely clean off the oak fin
ish and paint it white. The
painting Of furniture white and
finishing it in egg-shell white,
washable, it not an easy job. So
you might look about for a cabi-
net maker who would do it for
you in his spare time evenings.
I just had some done and the
man charged ten dollars for fin
ishing three pieces.
If you want it particularly at
tractive, have a design stenciled
on in color. A pink rose wreath
with pretty pink bow is always
appropriate for this type Of furni-
ture.
If your room is dark, perhaps
it might be better to have a vel
low rose stenciled and add to the
brightness of the room by using
crisp white Swiss curtains with
yellow overdrapes.
You will find it an economy to
have the top of dresser, chiffon.
Ter and dressing table fitted with
plate glass cover. One beautiful
linen or lace cover may be put
on and, with the addition Of the
glass, left indefinitely.
