Author Description

This book describes the requirements of good, simple, tasteful decorating at home that can be ingeniously met with minimum expense. The author has illustrated her book with hundreds of her own drawings. They picture familiar home objects both correctly and incorrectly placed, and both artful and artless furniture arrangements, so that the reader can see at a glance how decorating principles correctly applied can transform an awkward room into a porportional, graceful surrounding that complements human pleasures and wants to be lived in.
