STRIKING COMBINATION -Chinese red on the walls and taupe plush carpeting
set the stage for this dramatic room with recliners covered in a striking cotton
mini -print blending jet black with just a bit of red and white. The case pieces are
in a soft gray goatskin lacquer finish. Chairs are by Barcalounger and case pieces
by Habersham of Hickory.
Black and white plus color
equals drama
By Barbara Hartung
Q. I am moving into a new
condominium which I like
very much because of the
room arrangements. How-
ever, the rooms are without
much interest and. I wish to
create a dramatic effect.
I would like some ,bright
and striking color combina-
tions, but I'm rather unsure
of b.ewto-go about chioosing
them. Do you have some
itteas for me?-S.E.L.'
A. Try leafing through lots
of "lousing magazines and
decorating books to find
rooms that are especially
appealing. Then do an inven-
tory of the ,pictures. What ,
colors are you always com-
ing back to?
A decorating color scheme
that is highly dramatic is
black and white and one
color. That color would .be
mauve or green or red or any,
shade you're in love with.
Black and white provides the
drama and the .extra color
provides the punch..
. In addition, you can use
soft neutrals such as sand,
taupe and gray as good
backgrounds for walls and
carpeting with the punchy
black and white color for up-
holstery', 'case goods and ac-
cessories.
For still more punch, paint
a whole wall the accent color
you choose.
Q. I have a lovely orange
Polish rug (folk design) with
black, gray and rust colored
animals in it. 1 followed
through to purchase a modu-
lar piece (chair and otto-
man) in orange velvet.
Both of these pieces are
delightful. However, as a
single person, the space I
have is small and orange is
terribly aggressive. I believe
I've made a color error.
Have you any_su-ggestions?
As a desk, I have a multi-
faceted drafting board, with
pine green lamp attached.
The drafting board is white
as is my desk chair. - L.H.
A. A lot__depends on how -
large your apartment is and
;'how bright orange your chair
and ottoman are. If you
could paint your walls a soft
gray or a beige youmight be
able to soften the effect.
Will you use the rug on the
floor or on the wall? If your
apartment has a thick car-
peting you might consider
the wall. This could be dra-
matic and perhaps the chair
against the delightful design
of the rug would be just
right.
If you still feel the orange
color is too bright, consider a
slip cover. Go to a fabric

Birdhouse City.
• They tell me that Bird-
house City is the only attrac-
tion of its kind on the contin-
ent. It's on the outskirts of
the picturesque town of Pic-
ton, down near the Bay of
Quinte. You can see the cotn-
plex from the highway as
you drive into Picton past the
Maeauley Mountain Conser-
vation Area.
I'd never heard of it be-
fore, or even read 'anything
about it. But like everyone
else who sees it for the first
time, I stared in surprise and
admiration.
Birdhouse City consists of
92 birdhouses set up on poles
over a six acre site. The
houses are built to resemble
various public buildings and
landmarks C in Prince Ed-
ward County.
For
rn exa ,ple, youcan walk
around the streets of Picton
and see such things as the
historic courthouse, the old
churches, the fire hall, and
so on, then go over to, Bird-
house City and see the same
thing in a setting that's
strictly for the birds!
The idea was dreamed up
by some of the Macauley
staff members. A few years
shop and ask about styles
and cost. You might be able
to slip -cover both pieces fair-
ly economically:
Don't feel bad, we all mis-
calculate. • Decorating our
homes is a learning process
- and a continuous one.
Q. 1 have brown; rust car-
peting in my living room and
dining area. The walls are
white. Two chairs are gold
.and one is an avocado color.
What color do you suggest
for a new sofa and
draperies? - R.A.
A. To tie your many colors
together, it would be pleas-
ing if you could find a fabric
of gold, brown, rust and avo-
cado with a touch awhile.
If, you have all solid colors
in your upholstery, you
might like a print on your
sofa. This could be a floral, a
paisley, a stripe, a combina-
tion floral -stripe, or even a
small geometric, depending
on your preferences.
If you, wish your windows'
to recede into the back-
ground,. choose white to
blend with the walls. If, .in-
stead, you'd like to call at-

ago they build a few bird -
toques during the winter
Months, One Of' them was
modelled 91 the old Massa-
,Sauga Rotel,, a showplace in
the district around 1873.
Another was a nearby light-
house. ,
Then they got the notion of
gettingthe community in-
volved. They began asking
people to build additional
dwelling places for the many
varieties of birdsthat inhabit
the region.
The idea caught on.
Schoolchildren, youth
groups, service clubs, cubs,
scouts, seniors and business-
men build all sorts of model
houses of landmarks for
what became known as Bird-
house City.
The architectural students
at the local high school went
to work. Street signs were
put up. It became a planned
community With a general
store, schools, churches,
hotels the whole works!
The residents, many of
them martins, love the
place. It's hard to find' an
apartment on Swallow Hill
Road.
Of course, they're quite
well-to-do. They go south in
the winter and that sort of
thing. There are no taxes.
And to think they got all
those beautiful houses' for a
song!
Here's
How
By Gene Gary
Q. When the tank handle is
turned in our bathroom, not
enough water enters the
toilet bowl to, flush it proper-
ly. I took off the porcelain
tank top and found that when
the tank fills, the water only
goes up about halfway and
then the flow cuts__ off, Is
there any way to.4determine
how much water should go
into the tank? -
A. Generally, the incoming
.water shuts off when it is
about one inch from the top
of the overflow tube, the
vertical hollow ' piece of
metal located slightly to the
left of the center of the tank.
If the water is not reaching
the height, bend the horizon-
tal float arm up a little so
that the float ball is a couple
of inches' higher than it was.
Use both hands to make the
bend and work Very care-
fully so that you do not throw
the equipment out of line.
Make whatever adjustment
is necessary to bring the in-
coming water up to the point
just short of the top of the
overflow tube. If the water
rises too high and. begins to
flow into the tube, it means

Q. I have a Hummel figur-

the enclosed mark on the
bottom. When was it made
and what is its value?
A. The mark you provided
is called Trade Mark 6 and
has been used from 1979 to
the present. That means that
this figurine is still in pro-
duction and worth no more
than the regular list price of
$50.

to match the new tile? -
Katharine H.
A. Today's concrete stains
are solutions that react
chemically with the lime in
concrete to give permanent
coloring. They penetrate the
concrete and cannot peel or
wear away as a painted sur-
face coat can. The color
choice is limited -.generally
earth 'shades of red, rust,
green, tan, brown and black,
so this might come in a colo
that would blend well wi.
the Mexican red tile.
However, satisfactory r
sults can also be obtainedb

especially made for maso

concrete surfaces must b

There is a wider choice o

It is a very find example of
its kind and should sell for
