JLET'S {TALK ABOUT" }

By LOUIS RAINIER PLANNING TIME

If you have a new home in process of construction and plan to do the interior decorating yourself, you- are undoubtedly eager to get started even before the bullding is completed. Your architect's drawings will furnish you with room measurements, indicate locations of doors, windows, fireplace. With this information you can begin to plan the furnishings and their arrangement. The best . . . way to do this is to draw a scale plan of each room, one-half inch to the foot, say, on a large sheet of cardboard, Next, cut a small piece of cardboard to represent each unit of furniture (cut to same scale) and begin your experiment in arrangement. This method will help you determine just what pieces of furniture you will need . . their proper scale and proportion In relationship to the room. It will show you just what the best center-of-inter-est or focal point will be, The style you decide upon will also influence the arrangement. A strictly modern room will eall for a more symmetrical arrangement than one furnished in a traditional or provincial manner. Come in and get acquainted with our comprehensive selections. We know that you will find furnishings here that will be right in size and style for your room plan,
