Before and after transformation, These two pictures show the same room and the same fur-
niture, The most ingenious change was putting the two pieces of wall furniture together to
make one. The legs of both and the mirror were removed, new knobs added, and the piece
painted, so that it gained a contemporary appearance. The fringed slip covers and swag cur-
tains are effective. The beflowered tablecloth and wall paper add a Victorian touch which is
sometimes fashionable. The composition dado and floor surface are important contributions
to the transformation of this room. The original room had Mission furniture, and an impos-
sible rug of the imitation Oriental type, which unfortunately is still available in some stores.
