8. Mitchell St. 4 Model homemaking came easily to Barbara. She was an art student in Indiana University, is using that talent now to individualize her home. Her excellent color sense and ‘“‘designing” eye have helped, too. A bright red door brightens the exterior, warm gray siding. The wood is varied to inject in-terest-in the design.

Pastel cherubs painted by Barbara “light” up the bathroom. They perk up a black and white color scheme with ming red and faded blue accents, More of Barbara's artistry shows up in the den-guest bedroom. She's done a London bobby on the cocoa brown walls. Herb’s Samurai sword is slung on the built-in bar. Tangerine is- the color contrast.
