Consult an Architect

There is always plenty of repair and maintenance work to be done on the outside of a house. such as painting, repairing masonry, stucco,» walls, roofs, gutter pipes and wood- work. People who want to make their homes look modern can do so easily enough, but this requires a knowledge of architecture, and if the Job is extensive an architect should be consulted.

Room Reﬂects Spirit 0t Home

The housewife who wants her living room to radiate hospitality while it maintains an air of dign- ity may well choose panelled walls as a background for the furnish- ings. A mom that has become

tiresome will take on new life with the added distinction of panelled walls.

One housewife decided on this means of bringing the interior of her house up to modern fashion. She did not feel that the expense of making structural changes to the house was justified, so con- centrated her efforts on the rooms in which the family spent most of its time.

The wall Panels used were in an interesting design. The wood was not of a uniform size and the ir- regularity kept the room from too formal an atmosphere. Over the mantpl small squares of the panel- ling formed a design, obviating the necessity of any wall decoration.

Chinese tiles were used in the fireplace, striking a note of colour against the sombre background of the wood. The floor was refinished and leaded windows replaced the regulation ones which had for- merly graced the room.

When the transformation of the room had been completed the owner had gay chintz covers made for the furniture and matching drapes hung. No curtains were used at the leaded windows. The entire character of the room was changed and the family had an individual room which stood out from others of the neighbourhood.

Funds for modernization and re- decoration of the home are now available under the generous terms of the Home improvement Plan.

Original Ideas Add Charm

Use of colour is becoming more and more pievalent- among aver- age home-makers who heretofore have looked askance at the idea. of boldly making free with original ideas in decorating.

The housekeeper may use her own ideas to make a room dis- tinctive. Scenic wall papers furn- ish desired colour and often hap- pily solve the problem of a single solid wall unbroken by doors or windows.

A dining room which has three walls broken architecturally can be decorated advantageously having a. plain paper on those walls and the unbroken space panelled with a scenic MP8!- Two small windows at the front of the room may be transformed into one large bay-window and hung with white venetian blinds.

A prosaic ceiling light can be replaced by wall sconces in keep- ing with the deoorative trend of the room. Covers may be purchas- ed to hide radiators.

Wall paper can be purchased to look like wood panelling and may be used to form a dado around the entire mom. Woodwork may be re- painted to fit in with general de- coratlve trend.
