Wood Walls Pictured

Problem Solution
Age Becomes Asset
To Interiors
So Treated

There is one kind of residential
wall which actually grows more
beautiful with age. Ordinarily house.
holders are faced with the. problem
Of repapering, repainting or other
wise replacing the exterior finish
on the walls of important rooms at
regular intervals of from to 10
years. This is not necessary with
modern, inexpensive wood walls
which grow more mellow and more
beautiful with the passage of time
In fact, the most highly priced of
all wood walls are those which are
the oldest.
Well finished at first, wood wall
Is good for practically a lifetime
without further expense.
Method Changes.
In the architecture of the 18th and
18th centuries in Europe, wood
paneled" room was one in which
the central wall areas were set of
with holdings. Into these frames"
were set panels of fine matched
wood veneer, or antiqued fabrics, or
the areas were painted with elabo-
rate designs. The true period"
room today still follows these exam
piles, but the term wood paneling
has been extended generally to mean
any use of wood sheathing for in
side wall coverage or decoration.
Modern sheathing-type wood pam
cling Is made up of boards from 6
to IL inches wide, combined in many
ways to form beautiful backgrounds.
These boards may be matched on
one edge, or used "chamfered" with
the corners cut off to make divid-
Ing grooves as they come together
in the wall; some have beaded
edges. or narrow holdings are used
as edgings. In low ceilinged rooms
wood paneling is often used hori-
zontally to help make the room
look large. Where ceilings are high,
the paneling may run part way up,
forming "dado," topped with
wide fiat rail"
Finish Important.
The beauty of a wood finished
room depends largely upon the grain
and knot design in the wood itself,
but the kind of finish given the
wood is also an important factor.

wood age naturally in a room, the
