That a Jacobean bedroom can be 
reconstructed with antiques and 
modern pieces is proven by the 
excellent example to the left. The 
beds with their linen fold panels 
palmated and guilloche strapwork 
and heavy embroidered covers are 
rich in their simplicity. The 
smaller pieces are in keeping. Re¬ 
lief is given the plain walls by 
iron fixtures 
An end-to-end arrangement of 
twin beds is one way of keeping 
the furniture from protruding too 
much into a room of narrow pro¬ 
portions. This scheme has been 
used in a bedroom in the residence 
of George Hill, Esq., at Stamford, 
Conn. Another view is found on

The wall background of the living room below is painted a 
grayish parchment shade. On this are set fixtures painted 
black with appliqued metal. A focal point is found in the 
fireplace with its Italian marble mantel. The hangings are 
taffeta striped sage green and black. This material has also 
been used in the upholstery of some of the furniture. Paul
