Decoration trends for winter homes and wood floor styles
The article discusses choosing winter decor and floor treatments based on house architecture, noting wide old boards versus narrow modern planks, marquetry as the finest type, and finishes like wax oil shellac or varnish. It contrasts light and dark woods and explains that spatterwork floors are a costly yet revived painted option.
Home Tips From Our Neighbors
Do not apply excessive wax on floors as a light coat with polishing yields a better appearance. Attach felt or velvet to the bottom of vases to prevent scratches on tables. Parboil green peppers to improve flavor before salads. Boil peppers five minutes, cool, then refrigerate until serving. Before painting radiators apply aluminum bronze or red lead to prevent rust and staining. Associated Newspapers WNU Service.
