WHO LIVES IN YOUR LIVING ROOM? • 
Here’s a living room that you’d like, shown in House & 
Garden—just one of hundreds in that picture book of 
charming home-making. 
Would you know at a glance that the people who owned 
your living room were the kind you’d like to know? 
Does it show that restraint of line, that unusual choice 
of colours, that nice balance between the bizarre and 
the conventional that gives a room personality? 
Or is it—well, you know—just a hit commonplace? Not 
because you planned it that way; but because you didn’t 
plan it at all. 
The House Planning Number 
NOVEMBER 
House & Garden 
shows you that even if you have a full-grown self-made 
house on your hands it’s never too late to mend. The 
most charming of all charming houses are often those 
that have been reformed late in life. 
A hundred and fifty years had blown over the chimney 
of an old house on Long Island; House & Garden shows 
views of it before and after remodelling. A white New 
Jersey farmhouse, too—a little New England roadside 
find—in each case you aren’t shown the miracle and 
left at that. You’re shown; and shown how; and shown 
how, moreover, without creating transportation difficul¬ 
ties, for near-home materials are used. 
There’s an article on how to hang tapestries; another 
of those entertaining chats on hooked rugs; three cen¬ 
turies of mirrors; a collector’s experience with Chelsea 
china; views of a charming Italian stucco house; an 
Alpine cottage that behaves like a glorified bird-cage; 
pictures showing uptodate farm building, grouping, un¬ 
pretentious but artistic. 
And last of all—after an article on planting deciduous 
trees and shrubs—there’s a double page of the Leyen- 
decker garden where the two brothers of posterdom get 
new ideas for five-hundred-dollar covers. 
It isn’t what you spend — it’s how you spend 
it. House & Garden shows you how to get 
full war time value out of every dollar
