The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe

The
straightaway
bathroom
that
one
finds
in
apartments
and
small
houses
is
difficult
to
make
beautiful,
but
may
be
made
airy
and
clean-looking,
which
is
more
important.
I
had
to
make
such
a
bathroom
a
little
more
attractive
recently,
and
it
was
a
very
pleasant
job.
I
covered
the
walls
with
a
waterproof
stuff
of
white,
figured
with
a
small
black
polkadot.
The
woodwork
and
the
ceiling
were
painted
white.
All
around
the
door
and
window
frames
I
used
a
two-inch
border
of
ivy
leaves,
also
of
waterproof
paper,
and
although
I
usually
abominate
borders
I
loved
this
one.
A
plain
white
framed
mirror
was
also
painted
with
green
ivy
leaves,
and
a
glass
shelf
above
the
wash
bowl
was
fitted
with
glass
bottles
and
dishes
with
labels
and
lines
of
clear
green.
White
muslin
curtains
were
hung
at
the
window,
and
a
small
white
stool
was
given
a
cushion
covered
with
green
and
white
ivy
patterned
chintz.
The
floor
was
painted
white,
and
a
solid
green
rug
was
used.
The
towels
were
cross-stitched
with
the
name
of
the
owner
in
the
same
bright
green.
The
room,
when
finished,
was
cool
and
refreshing,
and
had
cost
very
little
in
money,
and
not
so
very
much
in
time
and
labor.
