Planning and Furnishing the Home, Practical and Economical Suggestions for the Homemaker (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Planning and Furnishing the Home, Practical and Economical Suggestions for the Homemaker

One of the important problems of home life is that of making the physical setting of the home a beautiful, restful place. The furnishing of the home, as well as the planning of it for those who are fortunate enough to be able to build, is the most striking expression of the family ideals. If the furnishing is done with little thought and on the recommendation of the furniture salesman, then the family ideal is not high as to this particular subject. Some people prefer to have just what "everybody" has; many a housekeeper wants some piece of furniture just because a friend or neighbor has it. But more and more home-makers are longing to express themselves in beauty of line and color and pattern in the furnishings of the rooms they live in.

The book Miss Quinn has written is for such home-makers as this last group.
