The decorator sees 
the room as a pic¬ 
ture with a back¬ 
ground, a composi¬ 
tion and a scheme 
of coloring. The 
background in the 
living room is a 
neutral tone in 
molding panels. 
Part of the compo¬ 
sition are a coffee 
table in mauve 
enamel and green 
striping and a 
chair upholstered 
in green and tan. 
A day bed of the 
same coloring is 
covered with a 
mauve and green 
linen; pillows give 
color spots. Pic¬ 
tures on cords 
add accent to the 
walls. Leeds, Inc.,
