Homes and Gardens, Supplement of The Canad buildings have been moved from western locales and reconstructed there. The Wainwright Hotel has metal ceilings and curtains loomed >~in Nottingham, England. The Prince House, buiît in 1894 in Calgary, has been wall- paperedwith a pattern very mnuch like the original dis- covered under newer layers during restoration. Canada's -west coast had widespread settlement and influence primarily by ships bearing Oriental treasures. More period antiques can be >~found in Victoria and Vancouver today, that is the furniture of England's Georgian and Victorian periods, than elsewhere in Canada., A revoît against ail that was ugly in art and design followed the over-crowded rooms, sentimentality and stuffiness that had evolved during Queen Victoria's reign (1837-1901) and this form of decoration is given the name ,Art Nouveau. Decorative artists began to pay as much attention to curtains, chair covers and wall hangings as Iley did to furniture hence ---,me upholsteries and wall- papers carried the same signatures as those of the artists of pieces of furniture. Hand blocked papers, that is by engraved blocks, and fabrics were created in a ; pattern such as William Morris' typical combination of tangled leaves and grapes in darkened olives and purpies. S The Morris designs are still done by Arthur Sanderson and Sons Ltd. in Toronto. The 1920's were a time for white paint and a philosophy of life to go with it. This was the Art Deco period when to be exact, to think clearly and throw away the useless went along with mass production of furnishings made of glass, cement and steel. In a book called "Decorative Art of Today" published in 1925, architect Le Corbusier promnoted the use of white paint along with this philosophical pitch: "After painting your walls with Rysolin, you will be master in your home. You will want to be exact, to be right, to think clearly. After your work, you will tidy up, you will see what it has produced; you willl throw out the useless, you will again miake up your balance sheet and carry the balance forward. " It sounds a lot to ask of a bucket of paint but it could be worth a try! Wallpaper was out of favour for a while through extensive use of it but is popular now as a backdrop or as a focal point in a room. In fact nowadays the term "Wallcovering" is used as the materials used are in a wide range of finishes, textures, patterns and special effects. Designs that resemble those of the past or look like books on shelves or shutters on windows are among the myriad of patterns to choose from. From papers that all had to be pasted and with patterns thatcould be wiped off when wet, we are in an age of dry-strîppable, scrubbable, laminate and grass cloth. Paint too has changed since the caves of the Paleolithic man 50,000 years ago when paint was pure pigment. Today it is a scientific combination of pigment, solvenits and thinners. At one time colours were limited to prîmary hues until later when dyes were invented. Paint could be mixed up by the purchaser if he bouglit lead, linseed oiù and turpentine to mix together. inc could be used instead of lead for a better quality paint. Then the colour in a drypowder or an oil would be added. What of today's decorating besides our wide choice of improved' tools and techniques? We flaunt the old, including those Victorian- vintage bath tubs which are in fact again being produced along with the old-fashioned wood stoves.
