A HOUSE OF SIX ROOMS, FURNISHED 
BY A DECORATOR FOR $1,500 
{Connnued from page 128.) 
suggested built-in bookcases of oak 
finished like the woodwork of the 
room. In the McKinley chair were 
cushions of velveteen like the window 
seat and curtain, and the two straight 
chairs had seats done in foliage tapes- 
1 he McKinley chair was with¬ 
out cushions. The two straight oak 
chairs ^10.00 each and the table $60.00. 
A carefully drawn diagram showing the 
proper placing of these pieces of furni¬ 
ture and rugs was forwarded to the client 
as the decorator considered arrangement 
an important part of his scheme. 
Over the low mantel shelf a brown 
photograph eighteen inches in width and 
extending the length of the shelf was 
placed. This was set in a flat four inch 
frame of the oak finished like the wood¬ 
work of the room. 
Of the 1500.00 allotment for the 
entire furnishing of the house, ^465.00 
have been expended for the living-room. 
As this room comprised hall and library 
as well as living-room the sum was not 
excessive. This figure covers the mak¬ 
ing of curtains and upholsterer’s labor 
charges. 
TYPICAL LIGHTING FIXTURES OF THE 
TWENTIETH CENTURY 
{Continued from page 130.) 
and one electric, is that when lighted, the 
lights are not the same color. In order 
to have a close-fitting shade for gas, it 
is necessary to use a mantel burner, and 
the light from these is more greenish in 
tone than the electric. The open flame 
gas shows practically the same color as 
the incandescent light. The simple 
candle lights designed for gas are there¬ 
fore best to use in combination with 
electricity. 
Houses of the Colonial type, both pure 
and modified, are greatly favored by 
architects and clients. Suitable fixtures 
for such houses are greatly in demand. 
The central fixture and side lights repro¬ 
duced, are acceptable in every way, 
these being typical of the period men¬ 
tioned. 
If the finished effect of an interior 
is to be complete, the method of light¬ 
ing and the selection of artistic fixtures 
are items the importance of which can¬ 
not be overestimated. 
Making the 
House a Home 
N ext to the design of the house no one thing has as 
much to do with the homelike effect as the interior 
decoration. No two things have so much to do with the 
effect of this interior decoration as the attractiveness of the 
finish and the durability of the finish. 
The correct selection of color schemes and appropriate 
finishes to give these color schemes, and the harmony of 
furniture, hangings, rugs and other things are of utmost 
importance to anyone who cares for the appearance of the 
house in which he is going to live. 
Realizing this, everyone building a new home or remodel¬ 
ing an old one, should accept the following offer:
