By Mary Ann Ickert
Picture, Picture on the Wall
Pictures, murals or other dec-
orations will give your room
personality quicker than any-
thing else. While each and every
person is entitled to their own
taste there are still some very
important dos and don’U.
I have some very definite
ideas about what I like and
what I HATE. To me a cheap
looking picture cheapens the
whole room. Keep in mind there
is a vast difference between be-
ing cheap and inexpensive, as
applies to decorating. Off hand,
I’d say look for these basic
characteristics in a picture. One,
the colors should be pleasing.
Two, it should have good lines
and design. Three, it should tell
something or make you feel
some emotion; serenity,
thoughtfulness, happiness, or
maybe even sadness or thanks-
giving. Don’t think this means
it must show a happy scene to
make you feel happy. What
about a pretty landscape that
reminds you of a happy vaca-
tion? Or a still life of fruit to
remind us of our many bless-
ings? I love to look at miniature
portraits and imagine the life
of that particular person.
Now you know what to look
for in your picture. Where to
find them comes next. Try
places such as downtown stores.
Here you do have the advan-
tage of buying them already
framed and ready to hang. And
if you find what you like fine.
My taste always seem to run
higher than my budget, so here
is my remedy. Keep a scrap-
book of pictures you see that
catch your fancy; don’t paste
them in of course. You may col-
lect them from Sunday’s news-
paper magazine, regular maga-
zine:! posters, advertisements,
or buy them from magazine
specials, from art classes or um-
framed on specials in the cata-
log. Maps are attractive even old
road maps.
How much you spend on your
frame is up to you. I first try
making the rounds of junk
stores or go through old attics
to find old frames. These can be
refinished in gold, antique
white, silver, many wood stains,
or painted. If you can’t find an
old frame; how about using in-
expensive molding board? Buy
it at a lumber yard, and cut it
in a mitor box. use the special
picture frame clamps on the
corners. You can also purchase
regular framing by the foot,
finished or unfinished.
Next is mounting the picture.
This will depend on the type of
picture you have, the frame, and
where you plan to hang it. One
simple way that works espe-
cially well on maps and other
pictures you may want to age
and mellow is to cover them
with tea or coffee. When dry

give it a coating of spray

Cut out vegetables from can
labels, make a big arrangement,
glue on construction paper and
frame it for your kitchen.
If you want to use a big frame
and have a smaller picture,
mount it on wall paper, con-
struction paper, or material and
this will give a contrasting mar-
gin to set off the picture. You
can use burlap, velvet, silk, lin-
en, calico, or even corduroy for
tiie margin. I find my remnant

be made from an old elaborate

Hang small pictures in groups,
and have all pictures blend
with the furniture arrange-
ments. Hang them EYE LEVEL,
not two thirds of the way to the

tures for the same frame, too;
and do change them often. They
won’t spot the wall and you can
make your home your private
