The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
30
The
third
floor
is
given
over
to
my
sitting-room,
bedroom,
dressing-room,
and
so
forth,
and
the
fourth
floor
to
Miss
Marbury's
apartments.
These
rooms
will
be
discussed
in
other
chapters.
The
servants'
quarters
in
this
house
are
very
well
planned.
In
the
back
yard
that
always
goes
with
a
house
of
this
type
I
had
built
a
new
wing,
five
stories
high,
connected
with
the
floors
of
the
house
proper
by
window-lined
passages.
On
the
dining-room
floor
the
passage
becomes
a
butler's
pantry.
On
the
bedroom
floors
the
passages
are
large
enough
for
dressing-rooms
and
baths,
connecting
with
the
bedrooms,
and
for
outer
halls
and
laundries
connecting
with
the
maids'
rooms
and
the
back
stairs.
In
this
way,
you
see,
the
maids
can
reach
the
dressing-rooms
without
invading
the
bedrooms.
The
kitchen
and
its
dependencies
occupy
the
first
floor
of
the
new
wing,
the
servants'
bedrooms
the
next
three
floors,
and
the
top
floor
is
made
up
of
clothes
closets,
sewing-rooms,
store
rooms,
etc.
I
firmly
believe
that
the
whole
question
of
household
comfort
evolves
from
the
careful
planning
of
the
service
portion
of
the
house.
My
servants'
rooms
are
all
attractive.
The
woodwork
of
these
rooms
is
white,
the
walls
are
cream,
the
floors
are
waxed.
They
are
all
gay
and
sweet
and
cheerful,
with
white
painted
beds
and
chests
of
drawers
and
willow
chairs,
and
chintz
curtains
and
bed-coverings
that
are
especially
chosen,
not
handed
down
when
they
have
become
too
faded
to
be
used
elsewhere!
