The gracious tea-table, with its exquisite silver and china, sets the keynote for this moderately formal, wholly comfortable living-room. Clear yellow walls are a perfect foil for the fine mahogany furniture which is so characteristic of this period. The flowered draperies fall into pools of color against the dark green carpeting, and echo their pattern in the upholstering of the graceful sofa. A possible monotony is relieved by the Oriental throw rug.
And what a change in the fireplace! Themantel, painted white, with an attractive decorative arrangement centered about a convex or "bull's-eye" mirror. The green leaves banked in the unused fireplace suggest a charming thought for summer. A long, difficult wall space back of the sofa has been well handled, and the tea-table in front of the sofa, in place of a coffee table, is a practical fashion which is becoming increasingly popular.
Pattern and color have been used so skillfully that you're hardly aware of their importance. For example, that recurring note of rose is no accident; its warmth is judiciously placed, and is the spice of an otherwise restrained color scheme.
