The House in Good Taste
·

The
chintz
curtains
at
the
windows
hang
in
straight,
full
folds.
A
flat
valance,
cut
the
length
of
the
design
of
the
chintz,
furnishes
the
top
of
the
two
windows.
Some
windows
do
not
need
these
valances,
but
these
windows
are
very
high
and
need
the
connecting
line
of
color.
The
long
curtains
are
lined
with
the
rose-red
silk,
which
also
shows
in
a
narrow
piping
around
the
edges.
The
other
two
color
illustrations
are
of
the
most
popular
room
I
have
done,
a
bedroom
and
sitting
room
combined.
Everyone
likes
the
color
plan
of
soft
greens,
mauve
and
lavender.
There
is
a
large
day
bed
of
painted
wood,
with
mattress,
springs
and
cushions
covered
with
a
chintz
of
mauve
ground
and
gay
birds.
The
rug
is
a
self-toned
rug
of
very
soft
green,
and
the
walls
are
tinted
with
the
palest
of
greens.
The
woodwork
is
white,
and
the
furniture
is
painted
a
greenish-gray
that
is
just
a
little
deeper
than
pearl.
A
darker
green
line
of
paint
outlines
all
the
furniture,
which
is
further
decorated
with
prim
little
garlands
of
flowers
painted
in
dull
rose,
blue,
yellow
and
green.
The
mauve
chintz
is
used
for
the
curtains,
and
for
the
huge
armchair
and
one
or
two
painted
chairs.
There
is
a
little
footstool
covered
with
brocaded
violet
velvet,
with
just
a
thread
of
green
showing
on
the
background.
The
lighting
fixtures
are
of
carved
wood,
painted
in
soft
colors
to
match
the
garlands
on
the
furniture,
with
shirred
shades
of
lavender
silk.
Two
lamps
made
of
quaint
old
green
jars
with
lavender
decorations
have
shirred
shades
of
the
same
silk.
One
of
these
lamps
is
used
on
the
writing-table
and
the
other
on
the
little
chest
of
drawers.
