 orating flat walls, 

 curtains, draperies and

Get our Portfolio 

 and make your home beautiful too 



If you are building a new house, or if the old 

 home requires doing over, the first step is not the 

 buying of materials, but deciding on color schemes, 

 how you want your rooms to look, how the walls 

 and woodwork are to be treated, and what sort 

 of curtains and rugs. 



Our portfolio (sent free), will show how to 

 decorate each room in the house. There are color 

 schemes and actual specifications for living-room, 

 dining-room, hall, kitchen, four bedrooms and 

 two bathrooms. There are two-color schemes for 

 the outside of the house. Everything is practi- 

 cable and can be carried out by the painters and 

 other people in your town. 



We do not insist that you use Sherwin- 

 Williams' products. We simply point out that the 

 same results cannot be secured without using them.

its Decoration" 



is an attractive 200 

 page book filled with 

 practical hints onhome 

 decoration. Contains 

 12beautiful color plates 

 and 130 other illustra- 

 tions. Everyone inter- 

 ested in correct home

 book. Price $2.00.
