Abstract
- In preparing to decorate a room more expensively, the choice of paper will lie some what more easy. That is to say, the buyer who is determined to have what lie wants and nothing else, will not have to wait so long or go so far to find it. Flat patterns are numerous and prettily designed, although they are too seldom of one color or two colors on a full colored ground, and too exclusively in gold on a pale tint or on white. These are pretty, but they are akin to a fancy which is too general and too implicitly obeyed, that drawing-rooms ought to be finished in white and gold, or some very pale tint and gold. People have seen a very beautiful pattern of leaves a little too much shaded by means of gold lines, which give them a slight projection, but redeemed by the lively color, pure blue, lighter than ultramarine, just kept by the gold from being too uniform a tint.
