House & Garden 
Do You Really See 
Here is one of the simple, charming little bits of home- 
making pictured in the April issue of House & Garden 
Your Own Home ? 
Did you ever try pretending you were a stranger in 
your own house? 
That living room rug—you’d never dreamed it was 
so shabby! . , . Those curtains certainly aren’t 
suited to a room with a north light. . . . And 
who ever chose that couch—not you, surely! It’s 
apt to be a bit discouraging, this scrutiny, unless 
you have a friend like the 
Interior Decorating Number 
APRIL 
House & Garden 
that will tell you not only what to buy for your 
house and where to buy it, but how to get the good 
out of the things you have, and how to add those 
little touches that change them from hand-me- 
downs to heirlooms. 
There’s a comprehensive diagnosis of country 
house living rooms—what’s wrong with them— 
what’s wrong with yours, and why. The best of 
the new wallpapers and the new fabrics are de¬ 
scribed and illustrated, and there is expert advice 
on how to combine them. 
An intimate little study of George Washington as 
an interior decorator and Thomas Jefferson as an 
architect — a discussion of the possibilities of 
Oriental printed fabrics—cornices—benches and 
stools—torcheres—built-in bookcases—and then 
the collectors have an article all to themselves on 
couches, settees and sofas, as practical a form of 
collecting as one’s family could wish. 
It isn’t money that makes the house beauti¬ 
ful — it’s knowing how. Read the April 
House & Garden and you’ll see why.
