Price $4398 '3398 Mary's ' musings BY MARY ALDERSON Remember last spring when Johnny Carson came out during the Oscar presentations and asked the audience which of the two wall paper samples they liked best? His wife was re- decorating and just couldn't make up her mind, so the audience did it for her. At the time, I laughed. Big joke, eh? Women just can't make up their minds when it comes to choosing between 101 colours. Little did I know then that it wasn't funny at all. Picking a colour scheme is not easy, I'll bet youthought that having a sofa reupholstered was a simple matter. Instead of staring at end- less piles of wall paper samples, as Johnny Carson's wife must have done, I have been wandering around for the past few weeks with fabric swatches in my hot little hands. I have looked at the samples up against the wall, and against the curtains. I have looked at them in daylight, and after dark with the lamps turned on. I have looked at them in candle light, The first night I came home from the various upholsterers, I was armed with a mountain of fabric samples. My husband quickly vetoed flowered prints and the mountain was automatically cut in half. We had to decide between rustic and elegant. We were forced to choose from velours, fuzzy stuff, and wooley stuff. There were stripes and plaids and funny looking prints. There were those that had been treated to resist Spills, and those that looked far more durable. There were earthytones,and bright, vibrant colours. The pros and cons were endless. I actually found myself having night mares about fabric samples. I woke up in a cold sweat, dreaming that the couch came back with one half of the sectional in a stripe while the oth& half was plain. Johnny Carson's wife didn't know how lucky she was. Finally I made up my mind. It would be the tex- tured beige stripe with the rust tinges. Now that was settled I could relax. But no! Once you've decided to re-upholster the sofa, the whole thing snowballs, Before you know it, redecorating gets totally out of control. I suddenly realized that the yellow and green pillows that went so well before, will look just terrible with the new beige and rust. We added new throw cushions to the upholsterer's order. The old chair would have to go, since it would look so shabby beside the new-look sofa. Perhaps a brown recliner would look good. The lampshade which I had covered myself in green an gold wool to match the old sofa would have to be changed. I'll have to get one of those kits and re-do the shade for the new look. Even the gold ribbon on the dried flower bouquet will have to be replaced with a rust coloured bow. And the bird cage. We can't have that ugly chrome thing Standing in our totally re- done living room. So I've ordered a new bamboo style cage to replace the old one. I just hope Hamlet (our budgie, who's not nearly as eloquent as his namesake) is prepared to have his home redecorated, too.
