CELLAR
By Betty TrexIer

A kitchen doesn't need to be drab
II yours isn't the dream" type
don't fret about it. With few SIM
Pile tricks, you can brighten up any
kitchen that is on the old-fashioned
side.
How about curtains? Why not dc
away with those white cottage cur
tains trimmed in red that every one
else seems to have? Try something
different. An unusual, coiorfuI
peasant-type print, for instance. Or
stripe, Or a gay chintz that, for
some reason or other, people usually
confine to the bedrooms or living
room.
Also, there's no law against using
pictures in the kitchen, as people
often do in the kitchens of modern
homes. Best for the kitchen are
those covered with glass. because Of
the greasy Aim which has habit of
covering things in kitchen.
Open Cupboard Is Aid.
II you have any extra space, YOU
might buy unpainted bookshelves,
paint them TO correspond with your
color scheme, and use as an open
kitchen cupboard, On these shelves
you could display in attractive FASH
ion your everyday dishes, glassware,
cookie jar, tea pot. potted plants,
COOK books, etc. If artistically ar
ranged, these shelves can do won-
ders to give life to a kitchen and
are useful as well.
II you don't have sufficient space,
however, even one wall shelf would
be helpful and attractive as a place
Tor many things-such as a pair of
candlesticks, plants, a good looking
painted tray, couple unusual
plates, etc.
And how about a whatnot? It's
really surprising the number of
cheerful objects that can be placed
on one of these. A lower shelf
could also be used as place for at
tractlvely- Jared spices.
Another way to brighten up a
kitchen is to decorate it with color
full designs, such as PENNSYLVANIA
Dutch. If you like painting, it's not
difficult to do the kitchen table,
chairs. and even the cabinets to tie
everything together in one color
scheme.
Good Background Shade.
Light blue is a good background
shade. If you should happen to
choose this, your design could be in
combination OF red, yellow, white
and dark green.
Other good background shades
are yellow, white, gray, aqua or pale
green.
As for designs and instructions,

turing them for several years, and
