  How easy it is to people old rooms with the imaged likeness of those who have dwelt in them, and how difficult it would be to do as much for a modern bower! old rooms anything of this sort would, however, be an impossibility, for the mantelshelf would probably be carried up far over the owner's head who might think herself lucky if she could ever reach, by standing on tip-toe, a candlestick off its narrow ledge.

  As far as the element of beauty is concerned, a room having good colour, attractive and interesting pictures, and beautiful draperies, is already furnished. The smaller house shares in the advantage of beautiful colour, correct principles, and appropriate treatment equally with the more costly.

  In repapering old rooms with imperfect ceilings it is easy to disguise this by using a paper with a small design in the same tone. In period rooms often beautiful light or heavy mouldings entirely frame the three sides of the fireplace when it is of wood.

  Furnishing the Home of Good Taste A Brief Sketch of the Period Styles in Interior Decoration with Suggestions as to Their Employment in the Homes of Today

summary:
  To many people, a room is simply a room to be treated as they wish; whereas many rooms are absolute laws unto themselves, and demand a certain kind of treatment, or disaster follows. Painting or tinting the walls, when done correctly, is very satisfactory in many rooms.

summary:
  Just as when a large family is to be considered I believe in one big meeting-room and a number of smaller rooms for special purposes, so I believe that when a family is very small there should be one great living-room and no other day room. There are draped beds, however, that may be used in smaller rooms.

summary:
  In old houses which have not been used for some time, the bricks often deteriorate and become so soft that they crumble at the touch. The roof of the main building has been extended in the rear, following its straight line to the top of the first story, as was frequently done in old houses.

summary:
  The width of openings in such rooms is therefore restricted to four feet six inches; indeed, it is permissible to make the opening lower and thus reduce its width to four feet; six inches of additional wall-space are not to be despised in a room of average dimensions. In such rooms the cove should rise directly from the walls; and this treatment suggests the important rule that where the cove is not supported by a cornice the ceiling decoration should be of very light character.
