House & Garden 
In the drawing room the 
walls and woodwork are blue 
green, with hangings and 
some pieces upholstered in 
old blue damask with a gold 
thread run through. Other 
chairs are old Venetian 
painted blue and gold and 
covered with gold satin. The 
lamps have powder blue 
and Chinese red bases with 
shades of red and gold 
It is not easy to create the 
sense of balance and for¬ 
mality in a small hallway. 
Here they are given by box¬ 
ing in the radiators with 
Italian cabinets. The walls 
and woodwork are cream. 
Against these hang curtains 
of tete de negre satin edged 
with vari-colored wool 
fringe. Old Venetian por¬ 
traits decorate the walls
