OSHAWA DAILY i 1IMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUAKY 13, 1929 bags = : i Lge * For Anything The Women's the Homemaker and the Housekeeper Corner of Interest to mE Painted furniture has many ad- vantages for the small house or apartment, Its freshness and color are stimulating and it gives life to rooms that are deficient in sun- shine. Tt can be dome with po more expense than the few cents It costs to buy a can of paint. In this way the entire color scheme of the room can be changed with the purchase of new curtains, It is cheaper to lacquer the fur niture yourself than .buy it all ready painted or varnished. It is possible to buy unpainted furni- ture which is made in the right shapes and sizes for apartments or small houses and then it is entire- ly in your hands as to what shade it will be painted, The furniture need not be elab- orately decorated, Modernism has already taught the value of plain color tones relieved with a con- trasting shade. Suppose the fur- niture is for the kitchen. There is no brighter shade for the kitchen than yellow. The housewife is con- fined to the kitchen the greater part of the day and should have it furnished in bright sunny colors. If the chairs are painted yellow, the brightness may be relieved by narrow bands of black painted here and there or a stencil pattern in black. It is not necessary, how- ever, to paint every article of fur- niture in the room in some bright, dazzling color. Have you ever no- ticed what a great difference is made in the color scheme of a room if a bright corner cabinet or an orange or Tred magazine rack is placed in the room," These may be bought unpainted as well as any other article of furniture. There are two methods of paint- ing furniture, One is to use quick drying lacquer paint in a smooth solid tome over the whole piece. If the edges are to be done in & contrasting tone, these are left un- painted until after the main coat his dried, when it will be quite easy 'to paint them in. When, however, it is a matter of decora~ tive motifs to be painted with care, then space may be left and great care used to keep the outline of the design clear while the lacquer is applied, Or, and this is a be ter way, paint the entire surfa with lacquer and when this has dried, take emery paper and rub over the space to be .degorated; then paint this with flat paint and varnish, The other method. is to use flat paint instead of lacquer for the full coat, The design may then be painted direct on this when it is dry with no preparation, and the whole varnished with varnish' lat- er when thoroughly dry. In transferring the design to be to make a careful drawing of the exact size and fasten this, having placed tracing paper beneath it. to the furniture with strips of adhe- sive tape. This holds the drawing firmly in place and prevents it from slipping, so that the 'tracing may be done with the perfect accuracy which is 80 necessary. For the unskilled and timid who desire something more than a plain surface or unbroken color, yet feel themselves unequal to planning a design, there:are the well-known | Decalcoma ia patterns, some of which are extremely interestin The modernistic touch is Dest given by contrasting edzes or bands of color ,also often done in silver and gold. This finish is effective and offers no difficulty except that of keeping the lines straight and clear, WOMEN'S MEETINGS PROCEEDS OF ENTERTAINMENT PROVE VERY SATISFACTORY The ladies of Knox Presbyterian Church have expressed their com- plete satisfaction at the co-opera- tion they received at tne anniver- sary tea and concert on Monday evening, With all expenses pald the preceeds amounted to $150, In the account of the presenta- tion of a silver basket of niowers to Mrs. A.
