HOMEMAKERS’ HINTS
By KAY E. WEBB - Extension Agent, Home Economics
IMAGINATION CANNOT completely replace decorative materials when it is time to redo the house. It can help to stretch the dollars when funds are limited.
Color can make the old look new and the inexpensive look elegant. It can provide accent to modest rooms. Color on the walls, in fabrics, in paintings or in throw pillows can disguise flaws.
According to home furnishings specialist, Miss Katherine Habel, fabrics available in many price ranges, can be fitted into almost any budget. Besides in slipcovers, fabrics can be fashioned into a canopy for a child’s room or used for table cover, window trimming and accept pieces.
Money can be saved by refinishing a second-hand piece of furniture. Often the greatest need is a deft touch with a refinishing technique or simply painting the piece to accent the room.
IF PAINTING is not enough for the old piece of furniture that you have, you may investigate the use of antiquing kits. Some special effects such as marbling, crumple texturing, distressed painting stippling and distressed wood.
