very small bedroom with modernpainted furniture, so simple in line and decoration that itwould be equally appropriate either for a young man orfor a young woman. We say young, because there issomething charmingly fresh and youthful about this typeof furniture. The colour is pale pistache green, with mulberry lines,the same combination of colours being repeated in paint-ing the walls which have a grey background lined withmulberry—the broad stripe—and a narrow green line.The bed cover is mulberry, the lamp shade is green withmulberry and grey in the fringe. On the walls are delightful old prints framed in blackglass with gold lines, and a narrow moulding of gildedoak, an old style revived. A square of antique silk covers the night table, and thefloor is polished hard wood. Here Is your hall bedroom, the wee guest room in aflat, or the extra guest room under the eaves of yourcountry house, made equally beguiling. The result ofthis artistic simplicity is a restful sense of space. 12
