Altman & Co., Decorators 
The room above was created in the residence of 
J. J. Twohey, Esq., at Sutton Manor, New 
Rochelle, New York. Rough-hevm chestnut 
stained a deep brown was used for the timber 
work. Where necessary, the walls were filled in 
with wall board, painted with a rough plaster 
preparation and sprayed with a mixture of Van¬ 
dyke brown, Sienna and mucilage to give the 
necessary antique effect. Curtains are printed 
linen of a grapevine pattern. The radiator is 
covered with draw curtains and made to simu¬ 
late a bookcase. Furniture and ship lanterns 
are in keeping with the spirit of the room

Compare the construction sketch above and the 
floor plan. They tell the whole story of the 
man's den to the left. Hand-adzed timbers or 
boxwork to simulate timber divide the room 
into a workshop, an inglenook and the larger 
floor space. Curtains can be drawn across the 
door of the workshop and the room made snug 
for entertaining. The furniture can readily be 
procured in any shop at reasonable prices
