Wishmaker’s House : Assists Buyers ye By JEAN TABBERT Cl WISHMAKER'S House goes beyond what its name - implies, The line of home furnishings rep~ resented is planned as an easy and attractive solution Lo almost any interior decoration scheme the homemaker desires. It means planned co-ordination of furniture, floor coverings, wall. paper; upholstery and draperies. That results in « minimum of “shopping around” to make colors jibe. and to match decoration styles, Wishmaker's House presents three ensembles, including traditional and modern and the new provincial. They've “col. lected” numerous manufacturers whe produce the furnishings.

days. Then furniture was made of any wood that was available,

rubbed with oil and then finished with wax, * Since the wood Is so austere in tone, bright accessories

, were needed to accent it.

There is a striped, flowered wallpaper and the plaid one illustrated. Flowered drapes and con+ ventional printed ones, the latter also shown, are done in tones to maich,

BRAIDED RUGS further carry out the color scheme, Happily, the materials used in the draperies are matched in the upholstery of divans, easy chairs and seat coverings of all-wooden chairs, The furniture covers every room of the house, including ‘ving, dining and bedrooms, There are’ large gateleg tables, small “double-duty” ones and unusual chests, One of the most Interesting pieces is a wooden settee copied

from an old wagon seat. It's “livened up” with seat covers of bright, printed gingham to increase “sitting interest.” Because of the severely simple lines of the furniture, accessories have a “flip” as well as a colorful rote. To fit in with a Pennsylvania Dutch decor, there .are square China hot plates used for purely decorative purposes. The key colors used in the provincial planning include soft blues, tangerine reds, greens and whites.

He said, however, that most stores would drop the 33% per cent down payment requirement for home appliances fo the 20 per cent furniture. leyel:
