? . . .
i Milton Z. - We've always
r had a comfortable, attractive
home. I've been proud of
i; Pearl, the way she can take
i an old beat-up chair and '
I' make it look like new with
a fresh slip cover. She s han
dy that way and has excel
lent taste. That's why I'm
mystified over her plan to
hire a decorator now that our
apartment is about to be
painted.
i We haven t suddenly come
Into money. Suppose the guy j
tells Pearl to throw out all
i the furniture and buy new
stuff? We can't, and she'll
j 'only feel frustrated. We've:
: been married 19 years and
i she's never had any trouble
't deciding what color to use
iot the walls, where to place '
the sofa, and what to hang
f between the windows. But
' now she's at a loss,
f , Somebody's been putting
fancy ideas in her head.
?i
f . Pearl Z. -Milton must trust
f me. I want to make some ma-,
jor changes in our apartment, 1
j' along with this painting job,
and I need advice. He has :
- tome old-fashioned ideas
?. about decorators, and he be-;
; licves all the jokes about
them. But I know there are 1
i; some who' show you short J
, cuts and tricks you'd never j
, think of yourself. I'll find !
one who'll save us money in- j
stead of making us spend
, wildly. !
': Actually I plan to use all
i our old furniture, but in dif
;: ierent ways. Our son is 17 and
i his bedroom looks too child
;. ish. I want to turn it into a
. den for him. And there are
other problems, such as
whether to give away an old
table from my mother or pro
Bounce it an "antique" and
; have it prettied up, I'd like
an expert's views, not Mil-
tons, on that.
The Council: All Jokes
aside, Milton, life and apart
ments can be beautiful with
the aid of a decorator-provided
Pearl tells him, her or
them that all she wants is
advice, not furniture. Now
adays one can pay a modest
flat fee for aid as to what to
keep, what throw out, what
match, what contrast, and
where to place that handy,
but ugly, sewing chest.
What's your alternative,
Milton? You and Pearl will
push furniture around, trying
various arrangements. She
will buy a few new items.
She will have your son's bed
converted to a studio couch
and the bureau replaced by
a hi-fi cabinet. And she will
have second thoughts, regrets,
when she comes upon better,
perltaps less expensive, ideas.
, ' Insist that Pearl track down
a skilled, unpretentious dec
orator who welcomes the
modest client merely asking
ior a straight "steer," as sin
cerely as he greets the help
less but "loaded" one who
commissions him to purchase
even her door mat at umpty
per cent profit, "just to make
aure it's exactly right." In
quiring about this, we were
surprised to learn that stylists
of this ilk do not pressure
people like Milton and Pearl
to buy anything new. They
enjoy helping to "make
do." Their "lake" is covered
by a consultation fee.
If Pearl proceeds as she'd
like to do. her decorator
would help her as follows:
1. He'd look over all the fur
nishings and suggest what to
do with each item. (And. Mil
ton, there'd probably be less
throwing out than if it were
up to you. Maybe your mother-in-law's
table has possi
bilities.) 2. He'd help Pearl
decide about paint colors,
wallpaper, accessories, ac
cents and those other "tech
nical" points which give the
average housewife night
mares from indecision. 3.
Hed draw up a floor plan
for each room, indicating the
best placement of furniture.
All in all. there'd be some
thing for everyone. Milton
might save money in the end.
Pearl would have "support"
for her decisions, and their
son would have a show-window
study with nary a dis
cordant touch in it.
