EASY ON THE BUDGET—The floor covering is a
remnant of linoleum painted blue and then spattered
with colors to blend with rose -coped velvet sofa. The
Decor
Score
By BARBARA HARTUNG
Sfretchingyour
decorating dollars
Q. I'm moving into a new
home with very little furni-
ture but with the desire to
create a lovely setting.
I will have just enough
money to buy a sofa and
pair of chairs or maybe a
two-piece sectional and
some tables. There will be
little Left for window and
floor coverings and all the
other accessories so im-
portant.
Do you have some ideas
for stretching my decorat-
ing dollars? — N.R.
A. You might be inspired
by some designers who
created an elegant and in-
teresting room using a
toasty rose-colored velvet
sofa as the key furnishing.
To stretch their decorat-
ing dollars they bought a 9 -
by -10 foot remnant of lino-
leum which they painted
blue and then splattered on
an assortment of soft pas -

tels including pale rose.
A similar effect was cre-
ated using muslin dyed
pale blue and splattered
with the same pastel
shades. The muslin was
used for window shades
and was also framed and
used as a wall hanging.
Those elements cost only
pennies but produced dol-
lars worth of drama.
Q. We recently moved
into a rented apartment
which has horizontal mini -
blinds in my daughter's
bedroom. She is only 6
ggi
same technique was used on muslin for wall hanging
and window shades.
years old and so 1 would
like something else at the
windows. However, I don't
think 1 should take the
blinds down. And I do like
the privacy she. has with
them.
Wbat might I do to make
the mini -blinds more at-
tractive? — P.B.
A. You could do great
things with fabric. Why
don't you choose some ter-
rific sheets and comforter
for her bed in a pattern and
colors you especially like
and that blend with your
walls and mini -blinds.
Buy an extra sheet for
the window. Sew a con-
trasting color to the sheet.
Place the sheet and fabric
flat over the window. Cut
the two, layers of fabric up
the middle to about 12
inches from the top of the
window. Fold back the
sheet to reveal the con-
trasting fabric. Tack,
staple or hem the fabric in
place.
This effect will frame
the window with its mini-
-blind.
Q. Please give me some
ideas for making my studio
apartment look bigger. I
plan to live in this studio
for some time so I want
very much to create a
functional and pleasant at-
mosphere. — W.B.H.
A. There are a variety of
techniques you might con-
sider. If you are adding
carpeting and painting the
walls, a single color
throughout will give you a
pleasing unified back-
ground. Choose a medium
to light shade for maxi-
mum spaciousness.
Think about having
built-ins added and paint
them the wall color. Or
simulate built-ins with un-
painted modular furniture
that you can stack for plen-
ty of storage. Ai great built-
in is a floating platform
which you might top with
mattress, comforter, and
lots of pillows to double as
a bed by night. and sofa by
day.
Plan no-nonsense win-
dow treatment, perhaps
wide vertical blinds that
don't fake up much room
physically or visually.
Eliminate the need for
lots of little tables and
lamps with track lighting
on the ceiling and walls.

Craft al
By Louisa Rush
With the economy the way
it is, people are taking a
second look at garments
before disgarding them. My
neighbor has a teenage boy,
and unfortunately his jacket
was ripped on the sleeve.
The tear was too big to hide
with a leather patch on the
elbows, and his mother was
quite disturbed as the jacket
was fairly new.
As it was not a formal but
rather a cardigan type jac-
ket in a rusty brown, I sug-
gested that she knit two
sleeves and insert them in
place of the fabric ones. I can
remember my mother doing
this type of renovating dur-
ing wartime in England.
Choose a toning color, the
chances are you will not get
an exact match of color in
yarn, but a toning shade
even if it isa little darker
will not look out of place, or
you could go to a complete
change, for instance a dark
brown.
Choose a pattern and knit a
size or two larger than you
would for a sweater to ac-
commodate the larger arm-
hole of the fabric jacket.
Simply sew them into place
once you have removed the
fabric ones. You could even
line them if you wish.
I often extended the life of
a snowsuit for my children,
by knitting longer leg and
wrist cuffs in matching or
contrasting ribbing. These
can be knit on four needles
and take so little time, plus
oddments of yarn can be
used. One can have a sense
of satisfaction by extending
the life of a garment in this
way.
Another idea which I'll
pass along is for serviettes or
table napkins. I made
several quite large ones
from a worn sheet. Somehow
the fitted kind seem to wear
out in the centre while the
sides are still quite good
fabric. Being a wash n' wear
type of fabric, they don't
need ironing and can be
tossed into both the washing
machine and dryer.

This week's pattern is for
dainty little crochet mats,
seen here as place mats, but
they are suitable on small
tables to protect the furni-
ture. Quickly and easily
made, they make pleasant
take -along work during the
summer months. Come the
festive season, two or more
would make very acceptable
gifts.
