Show Doing Grand Job, But This Matron Needs Some Help By BETTY WELLS ""VyHEN I furnished my house," v v writes Laverne H., "I remembered re-membered what you said about going go-ing ahead with your own ideas in spite of what the family said. So, although everyone disapproved of my ideas about blue walls in the living room and yellow walls in kitchen and bathroom, I went right ahead. Now I never fail to get compliments on everything. Even the milkman, the paper boy and the grocery boy, as well as our visitors, visi-tors, stop to admire it. So please excuse my expanded chest when I say that I've made a perfect little home for a couple of newlyweds who like comfort in the casual style and had to make it out of a rundown run-down old house. We did practically every bit of the work ourselves even a little plastering." "The bathroom you'd like the yellow walls have colorful schools of tropical fish painted on them . . . more of my work! I have a problem prob-lem in the living room, as I want to make slip covers for sofa and matching chair. The rug is a brown and beige textured pattern and the davenport of brown mohair with chair to match (the slip covers will be for these). An odd chair has the seat and back in shaded blue stripes and the occasional pieces and desk are in maple. Curtains and accessories acces-sories are in white. The blue walls are papered and have an all-over design in cream. What would you suggest for the slip covers?" Why don't you speak for yourself, Laverne! You're doing a grand job of your decorating without any help. Congratulations. But since you ask for it, we're always ready to have our say. We'd probably dive right in and have bright yellow slip covers cov-ers made for both pieces. Then repeat re-peat the yellow here and there in flowers and maybe in a yellow pottery pot-tery tea set, By Betty Wells. WNU Service. |
