Natl. 5903 i Tke Furmsl’ungs Both furniture and draperies have been selected with sympathetic under- standing of the feel- ing of the period. Rich, but unostenta- tious, over - drap- eries on the first floor are relieved by the lightness of the treatment of the bed rooms. Rust, the color tone of the season, combined with lace glass cur- tains, makes par- ticularly appealing the atmosphere of the living room. A luxurious Chester- field carries the note of the drap- eries without dom- inating the setting. The Sheraton in- fluence in the din- ing room 1is very refreshing — the more so because another type of fur- niture of similar outstanding char- acter has lately been so generally used as to become almost trite. In the furnishing we feel the decora- tor has successfully accomplished ~what he was commi missioned to do— add those detailed touches of realism that emphasize the livableness of the home, and those who have seen it are outspoken in praise of the effect.
