The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
64
This
little
chest
of
drawers,
by
the
way,
is
about
the
simplest
piece
of
furniture
I
can
think
of,
for
any
girl
who
can
use
her
brushes
at
all.
An
ordinary
chest
of
drawers
should
be
given
several
coats
of
paint--pale
yellow,
green
or
blue,
as
may
be
preferred.
Then
a
thin
stripe
of
a
darker
tone
should
be
painted
on
it.
This
should
be
outlined
in
pencil
and
then
painted
with
a
deeper
tone
of
green
color;
for
instance,
an
orange
or
brown
stripe
should
be
used
on
pale
yellow,
and
dark
green
or
blue
on
the
pale
green.
A
detail
of
the
wall
paper
or
the
chintz
design
may
be
outlined
on
the
panels
of
the
drawers
and
on
the
top
of
the
chest
by
means
of
a
stencil,
and
then
painted
with
rather
soft
colors.
The
top
of
the
chest
should
be
covered
with
a
piece
of
plate
glass
which
will
have
the
advantage
of
showing
the
design
of
the
cover
and
of
being
easily
cleaned.
Old-fashioned
glass
knobs
add
interest
to
this
piece
of
furniture.
A
mirror
with
a
gilt
frame,
or
an
unframed
painting
similar
to
the
one
shown
in
the
illustration
would
be
very
nice
above
the
chest
of
drawers.
