Easiest When The Carpet Is Bought First EDENTON - “What should I choose first — carpet, draperies, furniture or paint or wallpaper?” That question confuses many homemakers as they make plans to decorate a room. According to Mrs. Mary G, Cowper, home economics exten sion agent, Chowan County, many women prefer to select the car pet first. It is usually the most expensive item and often has the most limited range of styles and colors. It is also easier to mix a paint color that will match upholstery and drapery fabrics than it is to find a fabric that will match the paint, Mrs. Cowper observes,! It isnH always possible to se lect furnishings in this order — carpet, fabrics and wall color — or to redecorate a room com pletely, Mrs. Cowper concedes. Often a homemaker has to choose furnishings or fabrics that match what she already owns. This hap pened to Mrs. W. C. Bunch of Edenton. Althou^ she had the draperies, furniture and wall col or she wanted, it took her two years to find the “right” carpet.
