Single bedroom no comments
The mahogany bed with its open head and foot board is given character by yellow rayon head roll with a full, gathered valance to match. The tailored spread is of a quilted fabric of same color. Swags over top of net curtains match the bed valance. This room is in the 18th century feeling as a rule, smaller room are used for single bedrooms but they may be little gems and have everything in them that is needed, including the luxury of a chaise lounge, desk, and dressing table, though they have the same articles of furniture, bedroom may be just as different as people are different and really should express individuality. Compare the picture at left with that on the next page. They are as different as could be, yet the same elements of furniture are used in both. The point of departure is deciding on the type of room you want.
Chairs and tables are as important in bedrooms as in living rooms. The photographs show the comfort to be had from small easy chairs and tables by windows. Although a small table by the window is better than nothing, I advice using as large a table as space will permit. Show me the woman who does not need a table. Closet fro two: order is the first rule of the closet. Build convenient shelves and drawers; fit with rods, hangers, shoe and that hat racks which help to keep order and are a real comfort. Work out what you need in fittings and do it colorfully. Paint or paper the walls and hangers with the gay color in your scheme. Make your garment bag of transparent cellophane cloth and trim with bright colored bindings or use gaily flower chintz or a solid color contrasting with the walls.
