House & Garden 
Contrast of wall treatments for din¬ 
ing rooms is shown in these two 
photographs. Here the walls are 
rough plaster, the windows deep set, 
and wrought iron has been used for 
fixtures. Robert R. McGoodwin, 
architect

The right kind of valance will 
“make” a bedroom. Here it is of 
striped and flowered chintz in pleats. 
The colors are gray, ivory and soft 
old rose. The rugs are blue and 
the walls papered gray. Duhring, 
Okie & Ziegler, architects 
The walls in this dining room are 
paneled and painted, lending the 
room that simple formality that 
serves so well as a background. The 
mantel is an enriching touch. Paul 
R. Allen was the architect. W. & J. 
Sloane, decorators 
Books are very decorative objects. 
But because of their variety of colored 
bindings the surrounding should be 
simple and the accessories few. This 
principle has been successfully fol¬ 
lowed in the library below. Fisher, 
Ripley & LaBoutellier, architects
