CONVERTED FURNITURE
Whcu removing from one home to another, it is often puzzling to A' l , ;i, tise for pieces of furniture which refuse to fit in with the now scheme. To sell moans, us a rule, a big sacrifice. Whv not adapt and convert? A kitchen table of small dimensions, no longer needed for its proper purpose. will, if reduced in height by having its legs cut, form one of the fashionable low tea-tables. The table should be enamelled in one of the new cellulose paints which dry very hard and bright, and then ornamented, perhaps with flowers and loaves made in coloured gesso. A dining room dresser in oak may be taken apart to form a low sideboard and a set of bookshelves. The shelves can be used for a display of china or for the reception of a dinner service for which there is no cupboard accommodation. “ Best ” services cam often be stored conveniently in this fashion. One of the most decorative logboxes is an old oak cradle, taken off its rocker. It will go with old oak furniture better than could be believed.
