NEW YORK-If you are plan
ming to furnish a new home, ask
yourself, How little can I buy?"
That advice, strangely comes from
a man who is Interested in selling
furniture. He is T. M. Robsjohn-
Gibbing5, interior decorator, turn-
iture designer and author.
This is especially true if your
apartment or house is small, tie
tall, blonde Englishman adds. Too
many ponderous pieces and too
many pictures cut down the size
of a room. Rather select a few
Will-ntade, simply designed con-
temporary things.
THE trouble with most furni-
ture which manufacturers have
been turning out" Gibbings says
bluntly in his recently published
expose on antiquec "Goodby Mr..
Chippendal,. is that they are
cheap copies C hsd antiques
Gibbings works >nly with pale
wocdB, the color and grain OF
which he believes are lovely and
interesting enough in themselves
to be kept in their natural state.
Combined with upholstery in
bright sunlit yellows, warm reds
and cool greens, he finds they
give rooms an airy cheerfulnels
suitable to modern architecture
