AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



August, 1908 



Window Shades and Screens Are often Desirable 



A Sunroom with Rough Plaster Wall 



ceiling hangs a number of Japanese lanterns. The table, 

 taburetes and stands are covered with growing plants. 



Another attractive sunroom is one whose walls are red 

 brick with a large broad hearth. The ceiling is of pine lathe 

 painted brown. The window and door casings are of white 

 enamel. The door is exceedingly large; it is all of glass, 

 except for the casing, and commands a beautiful vista of the 



garden. The floor is also of pine painted brown, covered 

 with a large hand-woven rug. 



In the center of the room is a Mission table of oak and 

 chairs in the same style. This is used for cards and games 

 and for a dining-table in pleasant weather. In another cor- 

 ner is a large bench of Mission oak. The only other decora- 

 tions are the stuffed head of animals hung on the walls.
