House & Garden 
Two tones of 
French gray are 
in the living 
room panels, the 
darker one in the 
stiles. The cor¬ 
nice is a very- 
light gray which 
almost matches 
the ceiling. Over 
the mantel is a 
panel of plaster 
framed in wood 
which extends to 
the ceiling. At 
the right of the 
picture is the 
entrance to the 
vestibule 
The broad and substantial Dutch Colonial 
lines of the house mass well against the 
wooded slope behind. It is wide white 
clapboarded with solid shutters on the 
ground floor and green blinds above. The 
whitewashed chimneys and the unstained 
shingles, left to weather naturally, carry 
on the well judged simplicity of the whole 
A mouse color rug with a hint of purple to 
give it life is on the light oak waxed floor 
of the living room, from which the stairs 
ascend directly. French gray walls with 
trim a slightly darker tone of the same 
color, stair treads matching the floor. The 
risers, posts and balusters are French gray 
and the handrail is finished in dark mahogany
