New Wallpapers Give
Freshness to Rooms
Trick your aging rooms into
young freshness by giving them
a crisp new background. The
new wallpapers have designing
ways to deceive the eye and
hide the correct age of old
rooms. Also, when sloping walls,
ugly beams or other non-beautiful
jogs in wall construction
lessen the background beauty of
a room . . . the right wallpaper
can fool the eye by making these
defects seem to fade.
Another vote for wall paper
in this era of individuality is
the fact that it is the easiest,
simplest and least expensive
way to make a home distinctive:
Simple designs in wallpapers,
with a trend toward light back
grounds and a combination of
two or three softly muted colors
in the patterns plus one strong
accent color are the reason to
day's papers can go anywhere
in the house. There are no long
er typical bathroom, kitchen,
living room or bedroom papers.
Any pattern is appropriate as
long as it harmonizes with the
furnishings.
Today's Home Small
Many of today's homes are
small. With this in mind, the
artists have created many new
mural-scenic wallpapers scaled
to fit the smaller home in size as
well as in price. In a small win
dowless room it's an inexpensive
way to create a feeling of an
outdoor-indoor living effect.
There's still another way that
wallpapers can help in improv-.
ing a home. It can create an ex
tra room. Because wallpaper is
a natural teammate for wall
board, it is possible to partition
off one of the larger rooms in a
home in favor of the privacy of
two smaller ones.
With a whole new world of
wallpapers that are designed to
go anywhere in the home, all
any homeowner has to do to im
prove a room or to create pri
vate areas in the home is decide
on what pattern of paper to buy
where to redecorate or remod
el and wallpaper will help to
grow a new room or area.

Remodeling Can Be
Done By Changing
Color of Paint
It's paint-up time again, and
if you're like eight out of ten
home owners, you'll be thumb
ing through paint swatches and
wondering whether to "give it
another coat'' or change the
color scheme completely.
Color fashions change from
year to year, and, as your fam
ily grows and develops, you
may find your tastes in color
have also changed.
Why not go all out this year
and redecorate your home from
stem to stern, roof to rumpus
room.
"Remodel" With Color
Don't be afraid to use color
to "remodel" your rooms. With
color you can make a large bare
looking room appear intimate
and homey; you can add space
and dimension to a small room;
you can brighten a room with
few windows or soften the light
in a room that "glares". Color
can be your magic wand for
hundreds of decorating tricks.
The magic formula to 'remem
ber is that strong, intense col
ors make things appear closer to
you, and that pale, muted colors
make things appear to be fur
ther away.
Thus is you have a small room
you can make it appear larger
by painting it a light, soft color.
Save your bright shades for
large, well lighted rooms.
Try a bold color to offset the
height of a high ceiling. Choose
a stronger hue for a room with
many windows.
But remember, color can
trick you, too. Colors appear to
be much more intense in large
areas than on the little color
swatches you get from your
paint dealer. You'll we wise to
select a muted version of the
shade you like then the end
result will be just what you
wanted.
Do you have a "cold" north
room? You can "warm" it with
color. "Warm" colors are those
that deflect the colors of the sun
yellows, oranges, pinks, reds,
and the russet tones.
"Cold" colors are those that
remind you of night blues,
greens and bluish purples. Use
cool colors in rooms that catch
a lot of sunlight, in sun porches,
in southern rooms.
Most rooms, appear more in
teresting with a note of contrast
light with dark, bright with
subtle hues. But it is a wise dec
orator who uses bold, brilliant
colors sparingly, or the "accent"
not may nominate the entire
room.
Unattractive architectural fea
tures can be made unobtrusive
by painting them the same
shade as their background.
On the other hand, you can
call attenion to a pleasing fea
ture of your home, by painting it
with a color or contrast with
those around it.
Your choice of color combi
nations is a matter of personal
taste, and with the lavish range
of hues available at your paint
stores you can let yourself go.
Color's Role in Home
Affects Efficiency
Color plays an important role
in promoting eficiency and a
feeling of well-being in the fam
ily circle!
Home owners can brighten
the lives of their, families by
following these four guides for
interior color styling:
1. Two or three bright colors
in one room can make it cheer
ful and pleasant. But limit col
ors to three.
2. Warmly painted windows
and panel doors add appeal to
walls of any room. Small rooms
should have doors and windows
painted to match the walls.
3. Dark cojors make a ceiling
seem lower, while light colors
give the room height.
4. Any room seems to shrink
in size the moment dark colors
are applied, but light colors
make it appear to expand.
Old Woodwork Needs
Cleaning for Paint
There are several things to
be done before you paint old
woodwork that has ben coated
with one of the heavy varnish
stains.
First, the surface must be
clean! Wash it down with- a
cleaning powder solution.
Second, fill in cracks, dents
and holes with plastic wood.
Sand it smooth when the plastic
wood has hardened.
Third, seal it in with a primer
coat of aluminum paint, because
varnish stain may bleed through
otherwise.
Now you are ready to go
ahead with the part of the job
that shows. One coat may be
enough, but you'll get a more
durable finish with two coats.
Two thin coats are always better
than-one thick one!
Firestone Plans District

TWO SOURCES Controlled daylight illumination is provided
for this kitchen by two sources: a prefabricated top-lighting
panel set in the roof and a vertical wall of prismatic glass block.
Brightness ratios on sunny days are nq "higher than they are on
cloudy days; giving a daylight look always. "Toplite" Panels by
Owens-Illinois.
Prefabricated Skylights
Used To Good Advantage
Prefabricated skylights of hol
low glass block, containing
built-in prisms which admit day
light while blocking off the sun's
heat and glare, can be used to
good advantage in solving some
of the lighting problems of the
home builder or remodeler.
These attractive top lighting
panels are ideal for illuminat
ing kitchens, bathrooms, corri
dors and other areas where win
dows are lacking or undesirable.
The glass block skylights con
tribute a touch of beauty and
elegance to the home and also
provide roof strength, and insul
ation. The glass blocks are sturdy
and partially vacuumized, giving
them' insulating qualities equiv
alent to those of an eight-inch
brick wall.
Suitable for Rooms
The panels are especially suit
able for rooms or areas inside
the home; such as hallways,
bathrooms and closets, which
cannot receive window light be
cause of their location. They are
also ideal for outside rooms like
kitchens which do not receive
sufficient window light.
In rooms requiring maximum
daylighting, such as kitchens,
the top lighting panels can be
supplemented by wall panels of
glass block designed to control
daylight on the . vertical level.
The vertical glass blocks come in
six, eight and twelve-inch sizes
and are available in a variety of
face patterns. They are sturdy,
insulating and admit light with
out loss of privacy.
( For a decorative "change of
pace" which preserves unity of
appearance, areas of block pan
els can be combined with planks.
The blocks, adaptable to many
arrangements, can serve to em
phasize a fireplace wall or an
alcove, or to provide an end-wall
variation. Blocks are also used
for ceilings.
Electrical Checks by Most
Laymen Said Dangerous
If yours is a typical American
household, you've probably add
ed several electrical appliances
in the last ten years. But have
you outgrown your present elec
trical system?
It is a good idea to know and
check your electrical system
now to be sure that you're get
ting the most out of it.
Service Entrance
It is difficult and even dan
gerous for a layman to accur
ately check the size of the wires
and capacity of the main service
panels. It is best to have this
done by your electrical con
tractor. V
The wirs which connect
your house to the power com
pany's line and the box con
taining your main switch-and-fuse,
or main circuit breaker
comprise the main entrance for
electricity into your home. The
present and future use of elec
tricity in your home. ,is limited
by their capacity.
From the electric service en
trance, electricity is carried, as
needed, by means of smaller
wires called branch circuits.
Branch Circuits
If your house is less than
twenty years old, you can usual
ly find out how many general
purpose and plug-in appliance
branch circuits you have by
counting the plug fuses, or the
circuit breakers and noting their
ampere ratings.
If your house is over twenty
years old, it may be difficult to
find all the fuses or circuit
breakers. It is best. to ask your
electrical contractor to help you
check.
He will also explain the pur-
post of your fuse box anJ circuit
breaker box and -what to do ia
esse a fuse shotfld Mow, or tt;
circuit breaker trips open.

if you make repairs at once!

all-purpose adhesives is handy
