of the floor and sent to the
cleaner. I suggest cork floors
in both rooms with fluffy,
deep rugs in the living room
and small bright cotton ones
in the family room. This with
the birch paneling suggests a
basically beige color scheme
which might be enlivened
with touches of lipstick red
and bright electric blue.
Question - All the equip
ment in our kitchen is white.
I am planning to get new
gray floor tile bordered in
black. Table and chairs are
chrome. Chairs are covered
in a black-and-white pattern.
What ideas have you for
walls, ceiling, trim and cur
tainS?
AnSwer-Cover three walls
and ceiling with white plastic
wallcovering which can be
washed down. Paint fourth
wall - preferably window
wall-bright green. Have all
trim and woodwork in the
green and hang green and
white gingham cafe curtains
at windows.
QuestiOn-My living room
is small and cut up by doors
and windows. Furniture is
colonial maple and rug is
wine. Room looks dull and
cluttered. Can I correct this
with color?
Answer-Certainly you can.
Have pale pink walls. Paint
woodwork to match and hang
floor-to-ceiling draw draper
les in the same color. Make
ceiling white and use white
accessories Of glass and china
throughout. Slipcover all of
your furniture in the same
printed provincial pattern
very SMALL. Try to find one
that combines maroon and
pink.

table and buffet are blond
and modern. I would like
suggestions for a wall treat
ment on the long wall above
the sectional sofa and also
some idea as to what type of
coffee and end tables would
be right. I would like a round
coffee table but have had
difficulty in finding one in
blond to match the dining
room furniture.
Answer-The most popular
type of arrangement for a
long wall today is one made
up Of several pictures and
perhaps even pieces Of sculp-
ture attached to the wall.
Any type of art work can be
included in such an arrange
ment which usually is
planned for balance with
symmetry. Lay it out on the
floor before hanging to get
the effect. AS for your coffee
table, it sounds as though a
round one would be best and
you will be happy to know it
need not match the blond
dining room pieces. 1t could
be a dark teak or black
lacquer or even fruitwood
with a dark marble top. End
tables should be related
rather than matched to it.
QuestiOn-We have just
purchased a new home. I
want to carpet the living
room and family room with
the same carpet. Living room
walls are off-white, those in
family room are light birch.
Furniture in both rooms will
be a contemporary design in
walnut. I would like rugs
that can be easily cleaned as
we have a dog. Also suggest
color scheme for draperies.
Answer - Why not use
hard-surface flooring in both
rooms and add accent rugs
where needed? These smaller
area carpets can be picked
