' • - - -- WALLCOVERINGS WORK WONDERS. With a little imagination, an ordinary kitchen can often be transformed into something .special. Here, a wallcovering and a window shade did the trick. Rather, two wallcoverings -- J. Josephson's spritely "Spring Plaid" and its companion "Spring Garden," from which posies were plucked to applique to the shade.

Blot Mquids -immediately and scrape solids off the carpet with a spoon. • Do rake shag rugs and other high-pile car­ pets especially in well- traveled areas. This lifts up the matted-down pile.

Colors, particularly bright ones, will fade. • Do move your furni­ ture, just an inch or two in any direction to avoid permanently crushing the pile in any one spot.
