Room was Decor Score By BARBARA HARTUNG Charming room for little girl Q. Our baby girl is 2 and we are soon going to rede- corate her room. I have a pair of corner windows I'd like to do something with. Also I want to select carpeting and a bedspread for her fu- ture twin bed. Please give me some ideas for doing something simple yet pretty in her room. I do not want wall- paper - just paint for now. - G.C. A. Start by selecting a pretty fabric that you could use at the windows and, for a quilt for your daughter's bed. designed by Marlene Dibrell and Associates. Carpet- ing is Wear -Dated and Ultron Z. If you like to sew, you might cover a drapery rod with a gather of the print fabric and add tieback dra- peries in the same print. Fashion luxurious ties of the same fabric or a plain color taken from the print. You could line the cur- tains with the plain color or leave them unlined. For nighttime privacy add slim window shades that can be pulled up by day so they are not noticeable. Repeat the fabric in the room on a chair cushion, in picture mats or add some interest to the wall at ceil- ing height by cutting out a band of extra fabric and applying it like wallpaper. It is now practical to se- lect a pleasing light pastel carpeting because of new , easy -maintenance quali- ties. Take the carpeting color from the print fabric you select and a lighter tone of the carpeting color for the walls. Q. I'm about to retire and wish to buy my own condo and decorate it in a formal style. During exten- sive travels I have bought some fine English and French pieces, including a secretary, occasional ta- bles, bookcases and a din- ing set. I'll probably need to buy some new upholstered pieces. What ideas would you suggest for creating a pleasing background for ,. my furniture? - W.C.B. A. Walls, floors and win- dows all provide you the opportunity to provide the appropriate background for your lovely furnishings in creating a formal room. Pastel paints are always good choices. So are docu- mentary wallpapers. These may cover the entire wall or just the upper part with a chair rail dividing the wall with paint below. For floors, consider wood (you can find great ,parquetry squares that are easy to lay) as it is perhaps the nit complementary with elegant Orientals. Or a light plush carpeting without a pattern or a tex- tured weave would be ap- propriate. For the windows, swags 0-r cornices often spell out formality as do floor -to - ceiling pleated draperies, painted shutters or wooden , venetian blihnds. - These elements, of course, need to be taken into consideration with other fabrics and colors in the room. But this should begin to provide the proper background. ammo mono 000e00 000017 0001000 000800 ©D© 0000E, ©0D ©EIO0 300 0000 000EJ00 ES0000 000 IdOIO 00000 0000n0 ©©Af 000 oaou 000 minim ©©u manna 000M0E1 000000 000000 00000 00000 ACROSS DOWN 1.

GAUZE DIAPERS: Make great press cloths. FOOTSTOOL: When you are ready to do hand work, turn your chair away from the machine and put your feet up. Good for your back. SMALL TRAY: No mat- ter how much we talk to ourselves about it, we still tend to eat and drink at the machine while we work. So often crumbs (which can be greasy) ' and spills (which can stain) get onto the sew- ing table.. Keep a small tray close by where you can keep your foods and drink. Keeps your sewing area clean and makes it easy to cart everything back to the kitchen.
