By Barbara Hartung
Q..l am refurnishing "my
living room in Art Deco,
which I really love. My pro-
blem is what to do with two
windows in this room that
look out over an unpleasant
view of other apartment
buildings.
1 want the natural light but
I don't want to see out of the
windows. I had thought
about screens but they don't
fit in with my Art Deco
scheme very well. What
other options might be avail-
able?—N.N.
A. How about fitting your
windows with glass tiles?
They were all the rage in the
1930s and 1940s. They really
are practical because they
let in natural light but ob-
scure the view — both your
looking out and others
looking in. And they have a
neat, architectural look to
them.
While they certainly will
represent a heftier invest-
ment on your part than
draperies, they are a per-
manent solution to your
problem.
Q. We have created a
small room by connecting
our house and garage and
plan to use it as a guest
room. The room is tiny, just
wide enough for a twin bed
placed lengthwise.
Two walls are stucco and
two are unfinished

with them?—D.R.V.
A. You could eliminate the
look of unmatched walls if
you covered all of them with
an inexpensive fabric.

Ruth Webb Lee spent
many years collecting and

ware, particularly that made
between 1840 and 1890.
"Early American Pressed
Glass" is one of a number of
books she wrote about glass-

was a pioneer author.
This particular volume ran
to 712 pages, and in order to
provide people with a handy

went to see specimens of
glassware so he could

"Ruth Webb Lee's Handbook
