When the gimcracks had been 
removed front the living room 
chimney piece, it was found 
to have quite presentable 
lines. It was then painted to 
simulate walnut, thus match¬ 
ing the walls which were 
paneled and painted in the 
style of the Regence. With 
its crystal lustres and chande¬ 
lier and its over-mantel paint¬ 
ing, the room as it stands to¬ 
day is quite colorful

A breakfast room was a de¬ 
sirable feature. ,45 the kitchen 
was quite large, with the range 
and sink in the rear, the 
garden end of the room of¬ 
fered possibilities for decora¬ 
tion. Red tiles cover the 
floor. The woodwork is 
painted yellow and a color¬ 
ful paper was hung above the 
dado. Gingham curtains and 
painted cottage furniture com¬ 
plete the equipment 
The hall woodwork is 
painted jade green and 
the walls antiqued gold, 
an excellent setting for 
the red and black lac¬ 
quer mirror and the 
needlework sofa 
Large simple panels 
help produce an air of 
spaciousness in the liv¬ 
ing room. This group¬ 
ing of tapestry, couch 
and table is especially 
pleasing 
In the reception room 
the chimney piece of 
red lacquer, marbleized 
columns and etched 
glass panels recall the 
Directorate. The walls 
and woodwork are 
green
