There is no one around who thinks a woman can't paint her own kitchen ceiling but there are a number of learned painters who admit that a lot of paint has fallen on pretty faces while the amateur painter was learn-' ing how. . So now we are entering a new phase of do-it-yourselfism. More people who are experts are try ing to see that homeowners have more places to turn for help when they get into trouble. "First the amateur must over come his' or her reluctance to ask for detailed instructions," a paint demonstrator at a new do-it-yourself show here advised. "Too often a man, especially, will just buy a can of paint and walk out with it because he is embarrassed to reveal how little he knows." First Bloom of Enthusiasm "Many people get started in the first bloom of enthusiasm," said an executive of a laminat ed plastic covering manufac turer. "When the bloom fades they find it is more of a job then they thought. That is where the professional should be will ing to step in and help the home owner finish the job." This expert said he felt that professional workers, at first in clined to resent the surge of interest in learning certain buil ding and decorating skills by homeowners, now were adopting a more releastic attitude. They realized, he said, that do -it -yourself projects often repre sented redecorating or building that the homeowner never would have started if it meant hiring a professional. And an expert with a kindly attitude could make a tidy living completing the ambitious attempts that go awry. Daily Shows at Bank A savings bank in midtown Manhattan opened a do-it-your self show here this week with daily demonstrations of various projects wallpapering, mak ing slip covers, painting and in stalling tricky traverse curtain rods. - A well-dressed man watched in fascination as a girl demon strator casually slapped a length of wallpaper on a plywood back drop. He wasn't a struggling young man trying to cut corners but a successful vice-president of a large commercial real estate firm who liked to relax on week ends by decorating a recently bought house in he country. "If that girl can do it, I guess I can," he said. "And if I can't do it, then I'm sure my wife can. She's handier than I am." What made Stevenson the man tie really is?
