Paint and Plastic Transform Apartment -

Couple Converts Drab Quarters By JEAN TABBERT PAINT AND PLASTIC, mixed well with ingenuity, -are.miracle ingredients. Their magic.turned the Edward and Marita Manetta apartment, 649 N. Alabama 8t., into sleek,” modern living quarters. Ed, a Herron Art School student, and Marita, employed in the State Highway Commission office, required an easily for home. After their October marriage, they were delighted to find the third floor, four-room “roost.” The - disadvantages, though, were troublesome. Storage space was at a premium, rooms small. The whole furniture question seemed insurmountable to the young married couple. It took just six weeks for the two to whip the space into shape. They repainted the dark browh woodwork white, thus creating a space illusion. As in most old buildings, there was an ample supply of the trimming so the switch did a major face-lifting job.

Dark Green Walls WALLPAPER was covered with dark green paint, the ceiling with gray. Readymade draperies splashed color in the living room. Cocoa brown shag rugs warmed up the overall effect. (The brown was a compromise because gray to match ‘the "¢éiling wasn’t available at .the time Marita was buying). Jbuilt shelves in the alcove between the living room and work room. There apple green plastic draperies conceal bed clothing and street clothes. The generous folds of the plastic are a decorative shot in the arm to the apartment.

hides additional clothing and odds and ends. Ed, who wants to be a teacher when he graduates from Herron, sanded and stained an old kitchen set for dining use. The pieces were natural wood, now are brown. Bedroom chairs, which belonged to Marita before she was married, also were stained and covered with a bright print.

But most authorities blame parents for kid's bad traits. This isn’t entirely fair, of course. Teenagers are individuals and each has his own faults and virtues. Still, it's basically true that children are what you make them. If you spoil them as babies they'll be hard to manage later on. If you're unreasonably strict, they'll always be resentful. And—most true of all—if you're unfair and dishonest, selfish and sulky, quicktempered and bad-mannered your youngsters will be the same.
