kitchen, wallcovering• and
all.
Women involved in the
do-it-yourself thing are
doing it themselves when
it comes to redesigning
their rooms, spending as
little money' as possible
since the days of inflation
are affecting everyone.
The same women are "do-
ing" their own hair and
sewing their own fashions
— for fun and saving
money. These "home dec-
orators" are adding happy
touches to their rooms.
such as plants (both hang-
ing and standing) , new
picture groupings includ-
ing unusual mirrors, and
coibrful occasional furni-
ture from unfinished fur-
niture shops.
Wallpapers fit nicely in-
to these rooms, bringing a
soft, restful and nostalgic
touch to the home, no
matter how young or old
the occupants. If the wall-
covering is prepasted,
many home designers are
doing it themselves it's
that easy. If baths and
kitchens have not been
papered in the past, these
designing men and women
are papering for a brand
new look, usually with a
pattern that's nostalgic
and reminiscent of their
yesteryears.
:Everything's nostalgia
today, including the home.
And everyone's glad about
the happy feeling it gives.
Antiques mix
with many sets
You've, just inherited
Geat Aunt Hattie's Vic-
torian love seat, but your
home is completely mod-
ern.
Don't panic. Antiques
have a knakk for comple-
menting other periods Of
decor. •
A little ,shuffling of the
furniture, a bit of new
Upholstery or a slip cover,
and an antique looks right
at home in the starkest
modern house.
Nostalgia is the craze of
the day—in movies, plays,
songs, even home furnish-
ings. Psychiatrists attrib-
ute the step back into time
as a desire to relive the
happier times, whether
those days were truly bet-
ter or simply a figment of
memory.
Home furnishings prove
the wish to be more secure
as' interior designers and
their clients agree on re-
laxing, softly.colorful, even
gay surroundings. Wall-
coverings are especially
important as they greet a
weary worker coming
home, let a homemaker
unwind before dinner and
cause a round of smiles
and laughs as a group
gathers in the family
room.. Painted walls just
won't do it.
Nostalgia is the longing
for the things of the past,
noted when the first fam-
ily member goes away. Not
too surprisingly, the ab-
sent one misses the wall-
covering in her room, the
remembrance of happy,
childhood days. •
To the home designer,
a variety of wallcoverings
in the United-DeSoto col-
lection offers an opportu-
nity to change the appear-
ance of a hallway or any
room in the house with-
out investing in expensive
furniture. The wallcover-
ing, surrounding the chic,.
sophisticated furnishings,
adds the soft, subtle touch,
blexidirg the colors and
the te,..mres of the room
into a new look. If the
wallpaper is destined for
a room where fingerprints
acid scuff marks are regu-
lar happenings, a vinyl
paper takes to a dampened
cloth or sponge and the
Marks disappear almost
Magically. No strong so-
lutions or soaps are re-
quired.
Nostalgia again enters
the world of home fur-
nishings when Mother and
daughter get together to
talk about daughter's first
honie, whether she'S plan
ping marriage or a job in
a distant city. Daughter
probably is loOking for
some of her earlier life
touches of the furnishings
of her room and the rest
of the houSe—and the very
modern conveniendeS of
today% World. She easily
could select some of her
Oki colox'S but in'new
flocked or Striped Or com-
bination wallpaper, In her
kitchen, no one will blink
an eye if She uses the same
-colors as in her incithees
