It’s Not How Much You Spend- 
But How Wisely 
That Works a Living-Room Transformation 
The Subtle Art of Odd Pieces in Supplying Otherwise Uninteresting Rooms with Charm and Distinction 
A charming example of the Renaissance 
—a Karpeii Davenport of Carved. Ma¬ 
hogany, down-Ka r penesque Upholstery, 
Style 621, and Chair to match. 
By MAT LACK PRICE 
(Noted authority on home decorations) 
M ANY women still believe that a room, to 
possess charm and distinction, must neces¬ 
sarily be expensively furnished. 
The modern decorator will tell you that it is a 
matter of good taste, not merely of money. That 
it is a question of spending your money wisely. 
As interesting proof of this fact I have prepared a 
“Book of Interiors,” which Karpen has published, 
revealing what remarkable effects can be obtained 
at a small outlay of money. 
A copy of this beautifully printed and illustrated 
book will be sent, without charge, on request. 
How I Furnish Living Rooms 
and Halls 
This book shows the magic that small expenditures 
can work in the developing of charming living 
rooms and halls. 
It reveals, too, that the supreme craftsmanship of 
Karpen Furniture is available to the modest home, 
as well as to one of wealth. 
It shows the possibilities of economy in furnishing. 
The art of supplying beauty, color and atmosphere 
—instantly—to rooms otherwise dull and uninter¬ 
esting. 
It tells women of moderate circumstances how to 
have the lovely things they always believe they 
couldn’t afford. And women of means the secret of 
harmonious decorations. 
In eight homes out of ten it would be a mistake, 
an extravagance, to discard all the old furniture for 
new. The simple addition of one or two good 
pieces will work wonders in giving the hall or liv¬ 
ing-room distinction and beauty. 
One room, illustrated in my book, was literally 
transformed by introducing two chairs, a well¬ 
framed print on the wall, and a small hearth rug.
