Show f Modern Bathroom Gay, Waterproof By BETTY WELLS Nowadays, the old Saturday night order of the bath has gone by the boards, but just the same, not many of us go poetic over the rite of bathing through the winter. It's just one of those things that has to be done. But with summer the bathroom bath-room really comes into its own. Then bathing is fun in itself. Not to mention its part in summer sports. That's when a lady with a house really gets around to doing something about the bathroom. If it's in for a real doing-over, give more than a passing thought to the idea of linoleum for the walls. Partly because it is so practical, easy to clean with a damp cloth and besides all corners and baseboards base-boards are rounded. But mainly because it really offers an opportunity opportu-nity for something new under the shower. You can have as much gayety and design as with wall paper, pa-per, and yet be as waterproof as your kitchen floor. Which is something. some-thing. If you want plain and simple sim-ple color, there it is in a range of interesting tones. If you want riotous riot-ous individual design, you can have it inlaid right into the walls and to your own fancy. Whatever you decide on for your linoleum wall motif, repeat the motif mo-tif in your bath linens. Monograms are usually initials but they don't have to be. If you're a fishy family, fami-ly, let your hobby mark your linens with interesting varieties of fish embroidered em-broidered on your towels. Ships, coral stalks, flowers or what-have-you will do quite as well. Some people have golf sticks or tennis rackets, horses, dngs, cats or birds. It's up to you. By Betty Wells. WNU Service. |
