Shown here io Sherwin-Williams "Sage Hill" Style Perfect * wallcovering from the 8-Vl Vinyls collection, complemented by napkin* made «»f coordinated companion fabric. used most often during the holiday season: the entry- way. the "tree room" and the dming area. For greeting guests at the fmr.t door, how about mak­ ing a wreath of pine cones p a i n t e d t o m a t c h t h e entryway walls . ' Another idea is to make a wreath out of cotton-stuffed fabric "tubes," braided to form a circle and t ied with a match­ ing bow. If >ou already have wall­ covering in the hallway. Sherwin-Will iams suggests making the wreath out of a fabric that is a companion de­ sign to the walls . Such fabric- is available by the yard to complement dozens of patterns in the company's Style Perfect* wallcovering books. Another entryway idea is t o c o v e r a n o r d i n a r y cardboard box with wallcov­ ering or paint , and decorate with evergreen branches. This makes an at tractive "catch-all" for boots and mittens. For the "tree room," use wallcovering to wrap gifts and make fest ive chains. Simple cardboard shapes covered with shiny mylar wallcoverings make str iking and inexpensive tree orna ments. Because there is no breakage or sharp edges, these are ideal for homes with children or pets . Scrubbable wallcoverings are especial ly suited for din ing area decorations Some ideas are placemats. napkin r ings, nutcups or tra> l iners, with companion fabrics used for napkins, tablecloths or quil ted placemats. These decorations" also make nice gif ts , extending the holi­ day season throughout the year. Make It A Christmas To Be Remembered!
