MAKE w YOURSELF with a mosaic kit that comes with everything you need. The size is 84%" by 24" and has a solid mahogany frame. It's a brilliant wall decor! Wall Plaques Add Interest An interesting wall treat- ment can do a great deal to make an interesting room, is the opinion of California deco- rator Barbara Lockhart, mem- ber of NSID. Miss Lockhart, who has done some of Hollywood's most in- triguing homes, feels that all too often wall decorations fail to give that "just right" touch to create not only a conversa- _tion-making background, but also te coordinate the room's decor. Charming wall decorations need not. be expensive. A bit of imagination in the selection and in the hanging is all that is needed to convert many prod- ucts now on the market into an accem of elegance. Mosaic wall plaques, for in- stance, are available in a vari- ety of subjects te fit any decor. The kits of these mosaics are unusually complete -- right down to the crushed marble and jewels, which "make them not only entrancing to hang, but fun to easily create. In. a stark white modern frame the cork panel will bril- liantly set off brass or copper decorations to make a conver- sation piece for contemporary decoration, while in a maple frame it is Early American. "Looking at the wall and thinking about it," advises Miss Lockhart, '"'is the first step in redecorating a room to be a pleasanter spot for living and entertaining, or simply re- laxing."' Do Not Ignore Trouble Signs There are many components parts in a modern home. The home owner should know some- thing about these since he will be responsible for the mainten- ance of his home. Trouble signs that are de- te 'ed early can usually be attended to before too much damage occurs. Water infiltra- tien into the basement, a faulty heating unit adjustment, a roof leak, these are items that should be looked after at the first opportunity. Other defects such _ as hairline cracks in plaster, unglued tiles and stiff doors and windows, though probably more aggravating, are usually faults of a minor nature. This does not mean that minor defects should be ignored. Your house represents a big financial investment in good repair inside and out is a source of satisfaction for the occupants and am asset to the neighbor-/f hood. Your house will eventually show signs of age. This is -inevitable.. However, neglect greatly hastens deterioration.
