Some Foreign Styles in Decoration 
and Furniture 
(Continued from page 34) 
they are to be put to. They show to best 
advantage when holding a few very bright 
flowers. 
The foregoing descriptions and sugges¬ 
tions are very small for a movement so 
big and so important, but they may at 
least serve to create an interest in the mod¬ 
ern style of decoration, which, when looked 
into further, will speak for itself. To the 
many who have become satiated with 
period rooms, period halls, period homes, 
period everythings—this modern Austrian 
and German decoration will be welcomed 
with open arms, and its beauty and com¬ 
fort will appeal to all who become familiar 
with it; for it can be most admirably and 
most easily adapted to our American 
homes, to beautify them and to make them 
essentially our own. 
The Revival of the Log Cabin 
(Continued from page 19) 
rooms above the latter and from which 
there are doors opening on the balcony. 
Altogether it is a delightful summer home, 
quite fit for an all-year-round residence, if 
so wanted. 
Inveland Siiter, the summer home of 
Mr. Louis Moe, of etching fame, does not 
adhere strictly to the old Thelemarken tra¬ 
ditions, but the house possesses many fea¬ 
tures peculiar to a Norse log cabin, 
amongst them the Svalegang, or veranda, 
a corner of which is here reproduced. 
Gay coloring has always appealed to the 
peasantry of these northern countries, and 
their weavings are often used with capital 
effect for wall decoration. In embroid¬ 
eries, too, and the painted ornamentation 
on furniture and utensils, this same love 
for bright colors is evidenced. These 
color schemes are often followed up in 
modern log cabins, of those I have men¬ 
tioned more especially perhaps in Mr. 
Gliickstadt’s pavilion and the Tibirkestuen, 
and they admittedly suit this style of 
house, the furniture having been designed 
so as not to disturb but rather enhance the 
eternal fitness of things. Still, the owners 
sometimes may see fit to ignore this golden 
rule, and it has, for instance, pleased the 
Queen of Norway to fill her timbered for¬ 
est home with Twentieth Century English 
upholstery. 
There is now no difficulty in procuring 
furniture and fitments suitable for the log 
cabin and kindred summer houses, and 
they can in many cases be obtained at an 
extremely moderate outlay. There are 
several concerns, not purely commercial, 
but intended to further national home 
Slojd, which handle a variety of furniture, 
rugs, weavings, materials, utensils, etc., 
admirably suited for this type of home, 
and their goods are generally stylish, well 
made and reasonable in price.
