House & Garden 
The ideal small 
house is one in 
which each room 
is a little gem of 
furnishing and 
wall finish. This 
dining room, for 
example, has a 
good paneled 
background paint¬ 
ed green, with a 
simple fireplace 
and leaded case¬ 
ment windows. 
Flowered line n 
has been used for 
curtaining. T h e 
furniture is Hep- 
plewhite 
The living room 
that is directly on 
the front door, as 
often happens in 
the small house, 
can be made in¬ 
formal by a ju¬ 
dicious combina¬ 
tion of modern 
cottage furniture 
and antique re¬ 
production, the 
two giving respec¬ 
tively the infor¬ 
mality of a living 
room and the de¬ 
sired formality of 
a reception room
