Views of an old-fashioned bedroom that is finished in dull grayish blue. Such heavy furniture would appear uncomfortably bulky in any smaller room

The carpet helps to make the room homelike, with bare floors the height and size of the room would be more apparent

A short length of cretonne hanging between two sill length curtains may be used instead of a valance

The cut out paper border goes well with a shaped valance and side curtains. The valance is hung on a projecting frame

The Japanese design is repeated on the gathered valance of the curtains, chairs and the table-cover. Several original stencils of butterflies are framed as decorations
