House & Garden 
THE NEW YORK HOME of MR. and MRS. RICHARD BENNETT 
An Old Washington Square 
House Re-decorated 
The living room of this high ceilinged, old 
fashioned Washington Square house is 
made joyous with green blue walls and an 
English chintz with a vivid design of birds 
and flowers on a black ground. Between the 
two tall, ruffled curtained windows stands 
an effective group of Adam green console 
table and mirror with mauve colored 
flamingos. There are vivid touches of 
orange in cushions and lamps, and on the 
dark stained floor is a white bear rug 
The library is done in vivid tones of terra 
cotta and gray green. A brilliant wall 
paper with terra cotta predominating in the 
design has been set in panels of the gray 
green walls and shellacked a mellow tone. 
A pair of little old Chinese figures mounted 
into lamps are among the interesting 
touches. The furniture is covered in plain 
terra cotta and in slip covers of all-over 
flowered chintz. A black carpet keeps the 
room in harmony
