Evening star., 1960-04-14

the finish is paint or wall
paper, I can't tell you
whether it can be done or not,
but I can say most emphati-
cally Do paint or paper
the pine panelling and GER
tainly paint your fireplace.
Your color scheme sounds
lovely. Don't waste a minute
in getting that pine covered
up.
We had it in our living
room, also beautifully finished
and very lovely for a den,
study or summer lodge; but
not for a formal living room.
I finally prevailed upon my
husband to have it painted
when we had our living room
redecorated and the differ
ence was simply overwhelm-
ing. Our colors were brown,
beige, green and apricot; a
lot closer to conforming with
pine than your black, pink,
and turquoise. Still it looked
horrible.
I wouldn't worry about re-
moving it at a later date.
You will never want to have
the pine showing. and if you
have to sell your house, you
need only say that there is
pine panelling under the
paint or paper.
You may get some very
pitying looks. but it won't
spoil your chances of selling.
AS for the fireplace; once
painted, it is painted for
good. But. paint it anyway.
We had an ugly old red brick
thing, that almost leapt out
and met one at the front
door. Believe me; it was ugly.
We painted it white to
match the bookcases and
other woodwork, against a
pale green and white wall
paper and it became the show
piece of the living room.
If your fireplace draws
well, white is as practical as
the red brick. Do check on
that first. If it doesn't draw
well, put a three inch piece
of angle iron at the top Of
the front opening.
We had ours about seven
years, with a roaring fire
most evenings and the fire.
place required no more att
tention than the white wood
work.
