A color cnange can give the house and Its sur roundings a new look. A few guides for painting in doors are: 1. Consider the architectural line. Would the room be better proportioned if the ceilings ap peared lower? If so, play up hor izontal features and play down those that carry the eye upward. 2. Consider architectural fea tures. Are there interesting de tails you would like to accent with a contrasting color? If there are features that "date" the house or are not pleasing, they can be minimized by the use of over-all color. An example of this is heavy dark woodwork in a small room. To give the woodwork less em phasis paint it to blend with the color of the wall. 3. Consider the color of natural surroundings. A greyed color, or one of low intensity will blend or seem to "belong" more than a bright tone. 4. Consider the interior. The exterior should harmonize and be an Integral part of the scheme within the home. 5. Consider the personality of the family. The house can ex- The is no press this personality, choice of exterior color longer a limited one. Carpet Care Home Extension clubs in Cass County are studying Carpet Care during March.
