green on a yellow background:
for the lamps, brass with red
shades.
Question: The wallpaper on
three walls of my living room has
a floral pattern in gray and white
on a burgundy background and
the fourth wall is plain gray.
What colors would you suggest
for the woodwork and a rug?
There is a round mirror over the
sofa. Should use mirror over
the fireplace?
Answer: The same shade of
gray as the wallpaper in your
living room would be good color
to paint the woodwork and for
the rug I suggest green. I think
that one mirror is sufficient in
a living room; why not hang a
large picture over the fireplace?
Question:: 1 recently fell heir
to a black walnut Victorian bed
with a high headboard and foot
board and handicapped
dresser with a separate mirror.
I would like to use this furni-
ture in my daughters room:
what shall I do with it to make
it look pretty? Also what colors
would you suggest for the walls
and draperieS?
Answer: To make the Vic
torian furniture look quite pretty
in your daughters room, remove
the footboard on the bed. leave
the high headboard as it is and
paint it bone white. Paint the
dresser and mirror frame white
also. Dusty rose would be a
good color for the walls and
chintz with a Victorian cabbage
rose pattern on a white back
ground would make lovely dra-
peries. Bring another color into
the room with a turquoise bed
coverlet with a dust ruff1e of the
same fabric as the draperies.
Question: We just remodeled
our home and made two rooms
into one which we intend to use
as a combination dining room
and den.. There is a china closet
