Summer FurnitureShabby old furniture with the superlative trimmings removed and a few coats of paint enamel applied, comes into its own in summer. Those who are not sufficiently artistic to decorate furniture can use some of the pretty simple stencil patterns, little bouquets and baskets, charming in their very simplicity. Also, for small pieces, decalcomania pictures may be applied and preserved by a thin coat of varnish. English cottage furniture in oak or walnut is suitable for the living and dining room of the summer house. The lines are straight and simple and the construction sturdy. Italian and Tyrolean furniture is also excellent for this purpose. No one piece is more serviceable for summer than the chaise longue. It is the very embodiment of cool comfort. One very attractive type comes in two parts: one part forming a comfortable chair when separated, and the other a large footstool. When covered with vari-flowered chintz to match the hangings of the room, this one piece will alter more than anything else the appearance of the summer quarters. Next Page: Winter Decorating. |
