THE LURE OF THE LOW LITTLE DOOR 
Is your own home the nicest, most exciting place you know? Do you feel 
the lilt in your feet—no matter how tired you are—when you catch sight 
of that one little low door that’s so different from all other doors in the 
world? 
If you don’t- 
Maybe it’s because the rooms behind the door aren’t keyed to fit your 
personality at all. 
Your house, perhaps, is as austere as a Gregorian chant—and you’re a 
born modernist with a thirst for mad colour. Maybe you’ve tried to get 
it, but without understanding the value of background, tone, harmony, 
contrast. Or else you’ve just left the whole problem to a decorator who 
does these little things by the square cheque. 
You need a consulting expert on homemaking—in other words, you need 
House & Garden, the magazine of new ideas in building, decorating, fur¬ 
nishing, gardening, with plans and photographs and prices attached.

half-timbered house, there’s that ideal rose 
garden, and a wee Italian house that would 
make itself at home in any language.
