Q. Our house, about '25
years old, has stucco eix-
terlor walls. Over the years,
thestucco has cracked at the
corners of the windows and
in various other places near
ground level, it is beginning
to break away.
We were wondering what
would be necessary to re-
move the stucco In order to
recover the walls with some
other material such as wood
siding? We also would like to
install some insulation at the
same time.
Can you indicate which
type of backing would be
best for the insulation? —
Ephram J.
A. Yes, wood siding can be
installed over a stucco sur-
face, but it is not practical.
A builder friend tells me
that it is difficult because the
stucco surface varies in
thickness, even though it
may look smooth. He tells
me it would be much easier
to cover stucco with alumi-
num siding, which does not
take nearly as much nailing.
I suggest foil or insulating
paper might be suitable to
use with aluminum siding,
but check first with the
aluminum dealer to find
what kind of insulation he
may recommend.
Another suggestion is to
use mineral fiber shingles
undercoursed with insulat-
,ii g backer boards in residing
your house.

A. H `e are some. sugges-

sociation for removing dark
Stains in floors. The bro-
chure says the same method
is also recommended for ani-
mal stains.
Clean the stains or spots
and surrounding area with
NO.. 1 steel wool and a good
floor cleaner or mineral
spirits. If the spot remains,
then sand with fine sand-
paper, feathering out three
or four inches into the sur-
rounding area.
If the spot is still present,
apply an oxalic acid solution,
made by mixing one ounce of
oxalic acid' in one quart of
water. But caution. This is
poison. Use rubber gloves
and handle with care.
Let the solution stand one
hour, then rinse with clear
water. A second treatment
may be helpful if the spot
still refuses to yield.
11 the second application of
oxalic acid fails, sand the
area with No. 00 sandpaper
and apply a matching finish,
feathering out into surround-
ing floor area. Let dry. Buff.
lightly with No. 00 steel wool,
and apply a second coat of
finish. Let dry and wax.
If the stubborn spot is still
visible, the only remaining
remedy is to replace the af-
ected flooring.
Oxalic acid is a bleaching
agent. Whenever it is used,

and refinished to match the

Q. It is time to redecorate
our living room which is tra-
ditional. I have an Oriental
rug 1 want to keep but every-
thing else needs to be re-
covered — a sofa, love seat,
and two chairs.
1 have had a green and
gold fabric on the sofa and
love seat and -green on the
chairs with white walls and
sheer draperies.
Please'suggest a new color
sehmt-,,,that would go with
my Omental and be slightly
more colorful. My rug has
beige, brown, blue-green and
gray in it. I do not like•the
new mauve colors and pink.
— T.B.
A. Soft salmon would be a
good choice for the walls. A
stripe of teal blue, rust, sal-
mon and beige could be used
on your sofa and love seat
and for draperies. The teal
blue or rust in a solid fabric
would be effective for your
chairs.
Off-white ceiling, wood-
work, doors and window
frames together with white
lamp shades would give a
pleasing contrast to the
warm colors.
Q. I'm looking for a con-
temporary color scheme for
a tiny room I'm converting
to my office -guest room. I
need a bedspread and win-
dow treatment. I have the
bed, night stand, dresser,
desk and lounge chair in the
room.
I want a tailored, crisp
look that is neither mascu-
line nor feminine since I
want guests of both sexes to
be comfortable — A.M.B.
A. How about a khaki and
red color scheme? The more
red in the room, the more
drama ; the more khaki, the
more calm the effect.
Pale beige walls and car-
peting would provide a good
background for a tailored
khaki spread edged in wide
bands of brilliant red. Top
the bed with lots of red bol-
sters and pillows, and a
khaki one, too.
At the windows, use
Roman blinds in the khaki
fabric with red bands.
Upholster your chair in a
print combining the two
PLEASING CONTRAST—Color and design are intro-
duced in this living room with a stripe fabric of teal
blue and rust covering upholstered pieces. Stripes
combine well with other patterns, including fiorals
such as this Oriental rug. Room was designed by Pa-
tricia Gaylor. Furniture is by Trend Line.
colors — a small provincial
type print wouldn't over-
power your small room.
Add more bright red ac-
cents.
°Q. I am redecorating my
bedroom and want to install
lace curtains at my windows
and sliding glass door. I do
not need privacy because my
bedroom is on the second
Boor overlooking a canyon
that is private. I want to do
the work myself—
How should the curtains be
hung? 1 have an eclectic dec-
orating plan in the bedroom
--- some antiques, some re -
productions, but mostly an
Old World look. — S.C.
A. Why don't you install a
simple wood drapery roar?
You could then buy yards of
lace, stitch them together so
you have the fullness you
need in the width. Sew large
wooden cafe rings to the top
edge of the lace.
Allow at least an 8- to 12 -
inch hem at the floor to as-
sure a luxurious -16-5k. ' The
cafe rings and rod give a ro-
mantic charm to the win-
