now doing over is a solitary window
that stands directly in the center of the
left wall and presents a difficult prob
lem of arrangement. We can overcome
this difficulty by building up-to-date
open bookshelves on each side of the
window, connected by a window seat.
This enables us to discard the anti
quated golden cak sectional bookcase
which originally stood opposite the one
window. These shelves, together with
the new draperies and valances, nov
form an interesting wall grouping. One
of the lower bookshelves, incidentally,
makes an excellent location for small
radio set. The window seat Is topped
with blue-green pad Of the same ma
terial as the sofa to repeat the green
color note found in the rug. Old mag
azires and other odds and ends can be
hidden away in the cabinet under the
window seat. BY treating the wall In
this manner we form a focal point Of
interest around the window and book
shelves which serves the same decora-
tive purpose as a fireplace in other
rooms.
Another bad feature found in many
homes is an unusually large entrance
way between the living room and the
dining room. Here long draperies can be
hung to reduce the size of the entrance.
These draperies are useful as well as
decorative since they can be drawn
whenever necessary to separate the two
rooms.
We have now prepared our room for
the additional new pieces which we
have wanted for a long time and which
are necessary to complete our picture.
The next article will deal with these
new pieces. Z. ID.
