Paint and Ceiling Height
In modernizing nn older type of
house the question of wlint to do
with too high a celling Is frequently
encountered. An old rule that the
celling should bo lighter than the
wall Is often disregarded. The rea­

cream celling, for instance. In a
blgh room nnd the crentn of the
overhead spaces can actually seem
to fade farther Into the distance
and lncrcnse the appearnnee of
height. Give the celling a darker
shade than the walls and this treat­
ment has the effect of drawing It
down closer to the rest of tho room.
