The solution to such war dis
comforts is to take that unused I
basement and turn it into an ex
tra living room. According to D. I
Hill Carlton of the Carlton Hard- j
ware company, you can do the
whole Job with a paint brush.
Coating the walls and ceilings
x'lth Kem-Tone. and enameling
odd pieces of furniture in bright
colors will transform the drerrest
basement into a gey and cheerful
playroom.
“Let yourself go when beauti-1
lying a basement," the paint man
advises. Color schemes can be as
gay as you like, so throw con
servation to the winds and liave
fun. Decorators advise, however,
that walls and ceilings be done in
light tones to provide maximum
light reflection. Trims and fur
nishings will add the brilliant ac
cents.
Colored posters make excellent
wall decorations and can be used
to set the theme for the entire
room. With circus posters, for
example: paint the ceiling in red
and white stripes to resemble the

with soft sunny yellow walls. If
someone ip the family has an ar
tistic flair, let her try her hand at
a mural.
And with the new paints now
available the remodeling will be
fun for the entire family. Kem-
Tone, a water-thinned, washable
finish, can be rolled onto the
walls and ceilings without even
using a. brush. Floor enamel will
give even concrete floors that ex
pensive look, however, don't try
to paint damp floors! And quick-
drying enamels for the furniture
are still available in a wide range
of brilliant colors.
