‘House li “Advises Balance In Exterior Decor .

By JEAN SPICKLEMIRE Times Homes Editor

“A ROOF must not be a lid; it should be tied to the rest

of the house.”

That's one of the building theories of Mrs. O. C. Winters. The wife of a leading Indianapolis contractor, she

specializes in suggesting decorations and often building materials for women who normally would have to make such decisions. “It’s helpful for novices just to have a sympathetic listener,” says the energetic Mrs. Winters. But she’s far more than a listener. Jeanette Winters will pick- out roof colors, brick shades and wood trims, all items that baffle the beginner. It's here she carries out her pet idea that the exterior of a house should hang together. ss B® ” “TRY TO BALANCE all the outside colors,” she advises. “See that they blend from the ground up.” Like her husband, ghe feels a house should be adapted to the contour of the lot, that a Colonial house in a neighborhood of ranch styles is unsound. Mrs. Winters, who has helped with two-thirds of the houses her husband has built since the war, will give advice only if it's needed and desired. After the initfal selections of roof, brick and wood trims are made, it's necessary to decide bathroom color schemes. Ordering for this part of the house must be done early because of delivery difficulties. Here again Mrs. Winters shines, seeing that tile, paint and fixture shades jibe. The attractive home consultant will do house furnishing, too. She begins with a big item, for example, a rug or a treasured piece the family will want to keep. . Then, after she’s learned their favorite colors, hobbies, living habits and basic needs, she wades into the decoration ob.

” 2 os “ALWAYS have a reason for what you do,” she suggests. “Then be certain the finished product looks like the family for which it was planned.” Her own house is a sterling example. Self decorated, she used three basic colors in a variety of degrees. Thus each room looks different, with a single hue in prominence. The house is a mixture of traditional and modern, with some rooms completely one way or the other. In others

‘there’s a blend and period fur-

niture "shares the spotlight with modern trims, carpeting and drapery fabrics. Mrs. Winters admits she neglects her own house more than she should, for she spends three-fourths of her time look-

ing for other people. Actually

the Winters home looks neat as a freshlw ironed collar, is often on exhibition to prospective bufiders, @ - . SINCE MR. WINTERS in. cludes built-in furniture as part of his contracting package, the couple - utilizes its own home to demonstrate that and the Winters’ general building quality and special features, Fducated at Herron Art School, Jordan Music Conservatory and the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art. Jeanette Winters is well equipped to- deal out advice. She likes doing it so well she calls it the fun side of her life.

“The business half” is the Knoxall Corp., which she owns and operates. It's a firm that specializes in house mainte nance materials and, ‘ncidentally, works right in with her decorating accomplishments. The latter is mainly done at night and on week ends, with’ day appointments wedged in when necessary. The conscientious couple, who manage their joint contracting enterprise from the N, Pennsylvania St. address, regard every house they build as a “dream home.” “Our real pay is the sparkle in the home owners’ eyes when they see the completed product. It's a thrill that’s abit-form-ing. "ne

Blue Cycle

Returns to Popularity

MORE blues are what the world needs today,

says color research expert

Faber Birren, who hglieves people everywhere are seeking the things blues stand for confidence, equanimity, peace of mind, and peace of soul-—or at least “a quiet evening with a few close friends.” ' Blues were at the bottom of the list 10 years ago, but Mr: Birren has figures to show they're staging a comeback In home decoration. In kitchens particularly, Mr, Birren said, the clear medium blues are replacing the yellows that replaced the green and white of kitchens a few years

ago. The blue cycle will last four to five years, he predicted, shifting from slightly greenish blues to periwinkle blues, » " .

THE MAN whose business is gauging color cycles and call- | color trends, has tossed a. ther curve at the decorating world.

As color. consultant to Monsanto Chemical Co.'s plastics division, he told editors attending the Boclety of Plasties Industry show in Philadelphia recently: “Having a decorator tell you what to do is old fashioned. Color is getting more personal.” ? Mr. Birren, after 20 years of research, 15 books and 400 ar ticles on the subject, sald: “If you are in step with current color trends, you're matching colors to your personality instead of to your eyes.” Yet the expert would no more take your word than that of a stylist as to just what are your favorite colors, or even your favorite shade of your fave orite color. \ He watches to see which colors, and which shades of those colors, you buy in automobiles, aints, draperies, toys and usewares, : Color in mass markets parly, he sald, is too close to the emotions to ever judge subjectively,
