GRAY EXPECTATIONS IN DECORATING ||b WZT? MWt»f IP Wm- WSm Wmit Hi ■ ffct hh Jr “ * M Furniture in gray needn’t make you sing the blues. For (good ness gray-cious!) gray can save the day in decorating. And using it judiciously can make much more than a shade of difference. Gray is the dominant color in the attractive room pictured here. The print on the chair and repeated in the window treatment is called Tiger Lily. The background is gray, the foliage, white and beige. It’s a no-color look that is very lively because of the splashy print. Without it, the room would lack spark. This furnitutc comes from the Four Centuries collection by Thomasville Furniture and includes bedroom, dining room and occasional pieces. In the foreground, the coffee table has a painted base. The color is called Brushed White with Grey Trim. The wood finish, Venetian, is a deep, richly hand-padded color which features handsome grain patterns highlighted by old world distressing. The bookcase makes an excellent focal point for the room. Its size is only 26 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 81 inches high, making it especially decorative for halls and other areas where space is limited. You, too, use your gray matter in decorating with discretion. And your guests will praise your ways with grays. Herald Yellowed Pages Continued from Page 9
