The color scheme of the Idea Home at 1154 E, 57th St. is pink and blue, but the effect is far from insipid. Carnation pink and white checked cotton upholstery complement the soft blue walls of the living room here. Bright ‘navy batique draperies printed with the soft pink and other pastels give character and cherry furniture adds its warm touch.

A gray twistweave carpet. ties the whole room together, : A second outstanding room in this house is the girl's bedroom. Walls and celling are papered in pink and white checks and the room is reliéved by white furniture and a white chintz coverlet over a plain chintz skirt on the bed. Curtains are washable white nylon. “Street Scene,” an Americana toile, points up the upstairs boy's room of this Cape Cod cottage. The room is so hybrid there's a section for mother's sewing sessions, a general recreation sphere and an extra bed for guest room duties. Walls are white, making the dark toile upholstery and drapes more striking,

. ” n THE DE LUXE home at-480 Hampton Drive, is designed both for formal and informal living. It's a ranch-type structure with a maximum of picture window arrangements, A large plate glass one is flanked by smaller ones in the living room; this idea is repeated in the bedroom at the front of the house for graceful architectural unity and the greatest possible amount of light. At the back, picture windows and French doors form an outdoor wall to the kitchen-living room. The living room here is a mixture of Chinese modern and traditional furnishings. It's done in browns-—chocolate for the walls, honey beige for the carpet which extends into the hall and dining room and a mid-brown for the davenport. The furniture is mahogany except for the teakwood touches. These appear on the feet of Chinese chairs, built close to the floor for comfort. as well as to minimize the low ranch style ceiling. Mahogany furniture is used in the Victorian master bedroom, and it's here that the pastel theme reigns. Quilted cotton heather bedspreads top white rayon flounces; the white is repeated again in the draw draperies which cover the picture window. There's an

Here leaf green velvét mats frame a series of pictures. (The mats aren't an impractical idea at all; they steam while you shower). The formality motif is used in the dining room (beige taffeta drapes and Biedermeier furniture) and a guest room done with pewter gray walls, a Chinese gold carpet and a black spread.
