Sticks to Pink
Right now Mrs. McCluskey is putting her theories into practice in the Park Avenue apartment) where she lives with her husband and two children. Ten years ago she decorated her bedroom in ice pink, mauve and purple. The bedroom in the new apartment is being done in exactly the same shades. “I'm even getting more of the same pink brocade I originally used to cover the twin beds.” she said: “I like delicate shades and I think they're becoming to me, so why change?” The walls of her bedroom and the carpet are of identical shades of pink. The drapes are pink with a pink and purple fringe. A couple of tiny chairs covered in purple
