The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
50
There
is
another
bedroom
in
this
house,
a
room
in
red
and
blue.
"Red
and
blue"--you
shudder.
I
know
it!
But
such
red
and
such
blue!
Will
you
believe
me
when
I
assure
you
that
this
room
is
called
cool
and
restful-looking
by
everyone
who
sees
it?
The
walls
are
painted
plain
cream.
The
woodwork
is
white.
The
perfectly
plain
carpet
rug
is
of
a
dull
red
that
is
the
color
of
an
old-fashioned
rose--you
know
the
roses
that
become
lavender
when
they
fade?
The
mantel
is
of
Siena
marble,
and
over
it
there
is
an
old
mirror
with
an
upper
panel
painted
in
colors
after
the
manner
of
some
of
those
delightful
old
rooms
found
in
France
about
the
time
of
Louis
XVI.
If
you
have
one
very
good
picture
and
will
use
it
in
this
way,
inset
over
the
mantel
with
a
mirror
below
it,
you
will
need
no
other
pictures
in
your
room.
The
chintz
used
in
this
room
is
patterned
in
the
rose
red
of
the
carpet
and
a
dull
cool
blue,
on
a
white
ground.
This
chintz
is
used
on
the
graceful
sofa,
the
several
chairs
and
the
bed,
which
are
ivory
in
tone.
The
hangings
of
the
bed
are
lined
with
taffetas
of
rose
red.
The
bedcover
is
of
the
same
silk,
and
the
inner
curtains
at
the
window
are
lined
with
it.
The
small
table
at
the
head
of
the
bed,
the
kidney
table
beside
the
sofa,
and
the
small
cabinets
near
the
mantel,
are
of
mahogany.
There
is
a
mahogany
writing-table
placed
at
right
angles
to
the
windows.
