Weese, ° For forty Better go away longing than Combining Odd Pieces of Furniture. From the personal letters I re- ceive from my Column Readers on the subject of interior decoration, I [nave found that one of the questions that puzzle women is this: "What odd pieces of furniture may be ap- proximately combined in a room?" Many of these housekeepers who write to me, have a few pieces' of "period furniture," perhaps, and are complexed as to 'whether these may be mixed with more modern furni- ture--or with furniture of other per- ods. To this question I reply: "Yes. Odd pieces of all sorts may be com- bined--it they are similar in color and in line." For instance, if you have a "Jacob- ean" chair with twisted legs, much handcarved and other ornate fea- tures, you cannot with taste put this in a room furnished with simple wil- low furniture or finished wood with pieces that have straight lines and little decoration. The best place to put it, therefore, would be in the hallway, where it may shine in soli- tary glory. If you have some of the old Eng- lish mahogany pieces, however--tho Chippendale, Sheraton or Heppel- white periods -- you will find that these look not at all out of place with willow furniture that is stained reddish-brown, or with unholstered hiny "topper." . loathing. pleces or some of the American Col- onial mahogany furniture. For, these fine old English pleces are character- ized by a simplicity of line and dec- oration that allows them to be com- bined with all other unpretentious styles. The American Colonial furniture was made in both mahogany and walnut. If you possess any of the walnut pieces, you will find that wil- low furniture stainéd brown com- bines most attractively with them: also upholstered pieces, and *Mis- sion" or fumed oak pleces. But perhaps the question that is oftenest put to me in my readers' letters, is this: "Is there aay other furniture under the sun that will harmonize with Golden Oak furni- ture?" And I am always sorry to re- ply, "No." For, there isn't! Golden Oak does not combine tastefully with willow; nor does it look well with any of the other wood finishes. Un- less a room is furnished throughout with Golden Oak, it had better have no odd furniture of this finish in it. Yet, luckily, there is one thing that the housekeeper can do, if she wishes to use a piece of Golden Oak in a room with furniture of another color: she can rub off the golden oak finish with steel wool, or with a reg ular liquid varnish and paint remov-. er, and then stain the wood any de. sired color, then either revarnish it, wax it, or give it a soft dull lustre by rubbing with equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine.
