do you hide
a headboard?.
BARBARA HARTUNG
Q. Because of lack of other
well space, I must have my
.tang -sized bed against the
winddow wall.;. The problem is
that the window is 100 inches
wide and 42 inches high. The
headboard is 12 inches higher
than the window sill.. This
looks very bad when drapes
are open to allow the light in.
Can you suggest an appropri
ate treatment for this win-
dow? -,- A. A.K.' •
A. Here are two ideas which
might help you. The first is to
use two tiers of cafe curtains,
leaving the lower tier closed
as a backdrop. You ,Gould use
Da print fabric for the curtains
and the bedspread and tie the
two together for .a unified
look. Mother possibility is to —
create a 'lambrequin forthe
window. This merely means a
wooden frame which you can
cut Out of plywood and install
• inyour window or against it.
(depending on the kind of win-
dow you have). You could de-
sign the lambrequin so that it
comes up just slightly higher r,e
than your headboard. You
could make the cutout
straight or design it with a
curve or two. Then . you can
hang fabric behind the lam-.
• requif. Check interior de-
sign books and periodicals for
this. style of window .disguise.
It can be extremely eye
• catching. .
Q. I would like some sug-
gestions for my living -dining
area which" is approximately
,21 by. '13 feet. My Fug, walls
and curtains are all in beige. I
have twin upholstered chairs
in a medium brown mocha
and my furniture is in &pecan
finish. How can I introduce
some interest and color into
this room? `I need to have -my
eight -foot davenport covered
and also the seats of my four
dining -chairs. My.' favorite
colors are beige°, browns,
green and deep; dark red or
coral. -*- M.E.W.
A. In planning for your
change in upholstery, think
not only in terms of color but
in texture, too, for that can
lend lots of interest. Plan a
contrast of textures --- some
heavily woven ones, some
finely woven ones --- some soft
and some smooth feeling ma-
terials. Would you like a col-
roful print or stripe or plaid in
the room? 4If so, why not
search for one with your fa-
vorite colors. It might have all
your favorites or only some of
them. Just be sure it has some
brown and beige, so it ties in
well with your background
and your.existing chairs. This
print would be nice *for the
sofa. Then I'd suggest you
take another color out of the
sofa fabric and repeat that in
a plain fabric on the chair
seats. Use that chair seat col-
or as an accent throughout the
room. If it might be a dark red
or coral or green, you might
like it on a mirror frame, too,
or antiquing an old piece of
wood- furniture such as a
chest, armoire, table or side-
board. Also, picture frames,
flowers and pillows in this col-
or could add more sparks of
color.

So make an umbrella stand

• can also serve as a useful gift

stand onto a piece of wood,
