KIEKI COTTAGE. 



The parlor ceiling has the joisting, and plank, supporting the deafening, chamfered 

 and planed to show, instead of plastering. The walls are painted fawn color, in oil, 

 and the doors are imitation of black walnut. 



The dining-room ceiling is plastered, and painted a lilac tint, with kalsomine, and 

 the walls are papered, a light figure, upon a darker (chocolate), ground. Doors — 

 imitation of mahogany. 



The hall and stairway are painted grey stone color, in oil ; the steps oiled and var- 

 nished, to bi'ing out the grain. 



The porch is fresco painted, and coursed off in imitation of free stone. 



The library, or study, above, has the rafters, purlins, and plate, dressed to show to 

 the peak. The intervals between the timbers are lined with caiy^ass, and papered, 

 white figure on a blue ground. Four of the rafters descend to the floor, forming 

 alcoves, of depth sufficient for large books above, and shelves for papers below, covered 

 with curtains, moving by rings over iron rods. 



The front bed-room rises, also, into the roof, but is plastered between the beams, 

 and painted in oil, a view of which is given. I prepared a view of this room at the 

 solicitation of Mr. Downing, which may be found at page 385 of ^'' Downing' s Coun- 

 try Houses!'''
