Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Interior Decoration If you would have your rooms interesting as well as beautiful, make them say something, give them a spinal column by keeping all ornamentation subservient to line. Before you buy anything, try to imagine how you want each room to look when completed; get the picture well in your mind, as a painter would; think out the main features, for the details all depend upon these and will quickly suggest themselves. This is, in the long run, the quickest and the most economical method of furnishing. There is a theory that no room can be created all at once, that it must grow gradually. In a sense this is a fact, so far as it refers to the amateur. The professional is always occupied with creating and recreating rooms and can instantly summon to mind complete schemes of decoration. The amateur can also learn to mentally furnish rooms. It is a fascinating pastime when one gets the knack of it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Estimates, Costs Profits: Exterior Painting and Interior Decorating Efficiency is the goal of the business world today and it means just as much to the contracting painter as to any other business man, efficiency in business methods, in handling men, equipment and materials. The efficient painter makes money on a contract that his inefficient competitor would fill at a loss. To know your business, to figure where the other fellow guesses at it is the most worthy, the most effective of all efforts to make a profit. The figures given in this book were carefully worked out and verified. They are given chiefly to explain the method, but all are as nearly accurate as it is possible to make them under average working conditions. Any tests you may make probably will not come out in exactly the same figures, but they will show that the figures given are accurate enough for all practical purposes and to furnish a basis upon which to build an estimate and calculate costs.
