ATTIC TO CELLAR
Books Can Bonish
That Cold Look

Those bookshelves made" the
living room. warming it up. dec
Grating it, and giving it a focal
point as nothing else could have
done. And the amount of stor-
age space they provided was mi
raculous.
Besides all that, we found
space on the shelves for the tele-
phone and a small radio, as well
as for ashtrays and magazines.
Closed cupboards were built be-
low for additional storage.
= ~
In Grandmother's day, book
cases often looked unattractive
with their glass fronts and
plain-Jane design. Books were
neatly placed side by side in or
derby fashion-she wouldn't have
dreamed of interpreting among
them a few attractive pitchers
or vases or candlesticks. In
Grandma's day, a bookcase was
frankly a place just to store
books.
And that's probably the es-
sential difference between to-
days open bookshelves and the
plain bookcase of an earlier pc
Rod Today's shelves are de-
signed to be decorative and in
formal. Books can be placed
"willy-nilly." if you wish-some
neatly tucked in on their bottom
edges. others stacked on their
sides, in complete rows or in
rows interrupted by a colorful
arrangement of china or copper
ware in between.
\ +%*
You may think you need a
fairly large room for floor-to-
ceiling bookshelves. Properly de-
signed. bookshelf wall is just
as suitable for a medium sized
room as for any other. For you

can regard the bookshelves as
an ordinary wall.
You can put chairs in front
of them, or a small table. and
still have the books accessible
without much trouble. At the
worst, you may have to push
aside a chair to find volume
or two.
/ Whatever bookshelf-wall de-
sign you eventually work out,
he sure to have adjustable
shelves. In this way, you can
take care of bigger books or
make a place for a radio or
small TV set. Also. if it's ever
necessary to dismantle the book
shelf wall, removable shelves will
make the job easier.
So, to summarize: All rooms
need color and a focal point.
Good-looking bookshelves, filled
with books and decorative OBJ

Books have an extra something
that we don't always appreci-
ate-their colorful covers. After
you've digested the contents, you
can put books to work in bright
ening UP your home.
More and more, these days.
books are being harnessed to the
decorative scheme. Used as they
are today-in open book shelves
they add warmth to any room.
The pattern formed by the
shelves is decorative itself, espe-
cially when some are used to dis
play other colorful items, such
as candlesticks, plates, cups, tea
pots in copper, brass, pewter,
glass or china.
Back in 1947. we wrote in this
column:
Nothing gives a more honey
touch in the living room than a
colorful array of books on attrac-
tive shelves"
We believe that to be more true
today than ever before. More
people are realizing every day
that besides being useful in apart
ments and houses - large and
small-bookshelves have become
an important part of the scheme
Of modern decoration.
Practically every home maya
zine you pick up will offer you
one or more examples of how to
arrange bookshelveS. One ia
vorite plan is to cover an entire
wall Of q longish room with
shelves.
When you do this. the room
doesn't seem so long and mar
row. 1t becomes coy, coIorful,
warm and pleasant. And you
don't need to worry much about
any other decoration. The color
full books take care of that.
We had good illustration of
this several years ago when we
were fixing up an old stone
house. We painted the living
room walls white and the wood
work a Colonial blue. It was a
light. pleasant, attractive room
but rather cold. Then my hus-
band said he wished he had a
place to put books.
This gave US the idea for a
bookcase wall. Maybe this is
what the living room needs to
warm it up" I thought. So
suggested we have bookshelves
built at one end of the room.
My husband was a bit dubious.
But he sat down and sketched
out a plan. 1t looked good on
paper, and we decided to go
ahead with it. We built shelves
to the ceiling. filled them with
books, plus art objects collected
over the years that were tucked
away In attic and closets and
boxes.

not only add charm to a home
or apartment. but provide good
storage space as well.
