Please give me some sug- gestions. - L.C. A. One way to create form- ality and considerable ele- gance is with molding (stock molding you can find ,at a lumber yard) and wallpaper. You could paint the lower walls a soft shade, apply. a chair rail with the molding and wallpaper above the chair rail. Or you can create panels with the molding and inset wallpaper in them. Spend some time in a well - stocked wallpaper shop and pore over pictures and ideas for interesting and unusual use of wallpaper. There are many, one surely you will especially like. 21.
