How to Solve Decorating Problems
Arising From PuneIina of Walls

cherry and oak. The first two ere
usually set up in elaborate all-over
effect, with decorative holdings and
cornices, associated in our minds
with the formal elegance of an 18th
century library. Cherry often is used
instead of pine as a background for
early American antiques and as a
nice contrast to white woodwork and
hand Unlocked wall papers in other
parts of the house. Oak takes a
beautiful stain and has an interest
ing pattern of its own-but is dim
cult to combine with the more pop
ular types of furniture and demands
special consideration.
1t is a bad policy to try to match
woods in wall and furniture and
"just miss" 1t is far better to Sc
lect a wood entirely different both
in color and grain and use it as an
interesting contrast, unless you have
the good fortune to have your pam
eled walls finished by an expert to
match your furniture. If YOUR
library is paneled In oak Of the dark
gray-green type, you might use mod
ern furniture in one Of the bleached
woods of . light honey tone and let
them accent each others beauty. Or
you might avoid other wood effects
and use leather chairs and leather
topped desk with underpinnings OF
painted wood, which will give impor-
lance to your wood walls by con-
trasting them with other materials.
Keep in mind. also. that walls are
intended rs a background and " you
have a choice have them finished in
such q way that they keep their
place. If you have the misfortune
to move into q house in which the
wood paneling is too evident, you
may help to put it in its place" by
the use OF strong color in drapery
and upholstery material or by toning
down the walls with an overglaze OF

Wood paneling as a wall treatment
is used increasingly, both in new
houses and in remodeling, 1t makes
a satisfactory interior effect. but
does offer a few complications to
decorating problems.
Generally speaking, knotty pine
paneling with many knots makes
such a busy pattern on the wall that
all other decoration in the room has
to be subordinated to it. Adjoining
wall spaces should be painted in
plain color and upholstery and
drapery materials are better plain or
of wide stripes. This plan may be
modified when just one end Of the
room-such as the fireplace paneling
is of the wood. 1t may be varied
also if the pine is of the selected
type-with few knots-and also If
used only 10 chair-rail height, so
that the warm wood color may be
used with a small-patterned, colorful
wallpaper and plain draperies :.
or the opposite, with plain tinted
walls and brilliant floral chintz
draperies.
1t is wise to remember that wood
panel wall has tendency to absorb
light, and for this reason is not good
on the dark side of the house. An
attractive treatment for pine that is
widely used to counteract this light
absorption is to paint over care
fully sanded and prepared wood vail
with white lead and oil. After this
has thoroughly dried 1t is rubbed
down so that the warm wood tones
show through the white, and the
white heightens the amount Of le-
hected light, making most attrac-
tive effect that blends SD well with
other woods and coiors.

cling include walnut, mahogany,

IJse of Patterned PaDer.

Use Of Patterned Paper.
II your wood paneling has knots
that are evident at intervals. giving
the effect Of variously spaced spots
from across the room, you may get
an orderly, neat effect with the use
of . patterned wallpaper that has
small, not too distinct motif set on
4 diagonal stripe. The same is true
of the up and down stripe. Do not
permit this to be too strong in de-
sign and C0lOr--but merely TO give
the effect of tying down the pattern
at regular intervals. Avoid a de-
signed paper that has spots of pat
tern space just about the same as
the paneling.
The color OF the wood should help
you IN selecting a color for your
painted walls. yellow and honey

Cutting Down Costs

When holdings, kitchen cabinets,
doors and window sash are supplied
from stock, they usually cost less
than when made to special design.
To keep the costs down, 1t is advis-

from the local millwork company or
lumber dealer.
