ROSEMARY THYME
Everybody js talking about
housecleaning—except me. With
three feet of snow on the ground,
I just can’t get the urge. I like
lo. be able-to-go outside to have
a bonfire,. or hang blankets out,
jetc., without, -having—to sweep
snow off my feet every time I
come in, Nor do we like the-
odour; of paint in a closed, house.
However there< are always odds
and ends of things we can do to
speed up the process, before, you
really get down to brass (acks
of housecleaning — cleaning out
linen cupboards, bureau and buf
fet drawers.
"I have been refinishing furni
ture all winter, and for . anyone
who has ambitions that way, I
havQ a; word of warning. Some
time, ago I gave yod a tip for
removing yarnish or paint with
starch and lye solution} or a com
mercial varnish remover. Either
works very well, but before you
go all out on the job, try a bit
on every different surface of the
piece on which you are working..
I had a major catastrophe, re
moving several ,layers of paint
from' a. table. The paint came off
the top, on which I had started,
very nicely, and a beautiful grain
came through, cherry wood, no
less. Nothing could have pleased
me more, so I sanded and sanded
and sanded, and there was the
beautiful grain, satin-smooth. I
cleaned off some of the legs and
_ found the same nice grain; Then
I began on the edges of the table
top. Woe was me! It had some
dark and tenacious stain, and
wherever it had splashed; it, made
a very bad stain. I hurriedly tried
to; wipe it off, where it Rad run:
up on to my beautifully cleaned'
top. But it wouldn’t wipe off,
nor would more yarnish remover
I have any effect on it. This was
something I had never come up
against before—the more I work
ed with it, the worse it became.
I decided I’d have to hand it
over to - a professional, so I went
to a man who does that sort of
work and told'. him my tale of
woe. But he wouldrVt have a
fhingTto’dd’ with it. “There isn’t’
a thing you can do with stain’’,
he said. “You’re licked”./.
Licked—was I? Well, them’s
fighting words] I went homeland
: _wi±lv^piaces^-df^broken —glassT-Jy
scraped and scraped and scraped
the winter away. My cherry table
may not be as perfect as it would
have been . . . nevertheless it is
going to look quite nice.; I think
I’m going to belong to the brok
en.. glass school of thought for
removing paint and varnish.. '
. This was the subject of con
versation in a group one evening/
• and one. woman said that she
-and.her husband had just refin
ished ah old-fashioned rocket’, us
ing nothing but sandpaper, and
were just about to start on "the,
piano, using the same method. An
ambitious project. “Tedious”,, she
admitted. .
—Iqamps-“have^been“getting*my”
attention lately. If you'have any
attractive old oil lamps, they can
easily- be electrified by - fitting
them with an adapter or con-
-ve •pterrj-I—h ave—fou n d—that—they*
will fit, iri the opening in almost
any. lamp—if too small, put a
piece of cork at the side. I have
botight them at both- hardware
stores in. Lucknow.- Lamps with
clear glass bowls are very attrac
tive in a bedroom . . . push some
• artificial flowers down into; the'
bowl. I , have just done a rejuV1-
cnoting job on a lamp that had
a white bowk in a sort of- dia
mond effect, the finish of which
intended to antique it, by paint-,
pi ng-wi-th" “brohze-goM"" paint-f-fet-;
1 ting -that dry, then pa inti ng, white
arid' Wiping the .white off while
almost wet. However the bronze-:
gold, pleased'my, family so well
that we just loft it that way. And
ovoijybrie w*ho has come in Since
has said,, “Qh, I/like your new.
.lamp”, y ’
I- am always quite pleased with
myself When anyone admires any
of., my original ideas, much more i
so than -if ‘Ir ,go and buy some-

the grain .of the wood showing
through. You get this result ;b'y
painting with half paint and half
turpentine, as. many coats as you.
wish, just so'that you don’t cover
the , grain, It bias a( very soft ef-
thing of which they approve. The
lamp in John’s room is an old
brown jug, an. adapter fits in the
opening, and the, shade is parch^
ment with sailing, bo^ts and an
chors,
I saw -a very smart idea for : feet, of course, with no gloss, it
a dressing table in a friend*? could be any color you choose.,
room recently. It was simply a
long, wide shelf with a full skirt.
I don’t know what the skirt hid, |
more shelves, I would think. The j
finish on the shelf was what drew i
;my attentidh—ftwas grayed7with I
ivory perhaps. I thought it most
effective.
