Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Furnishing: Practical and Artistic There are few homes in which the furnishings might not be altered or modified to advantage. The point to be kept in View is, in the main, how to unite in the best way practical equipment and artistic effect; and this can be accomplished only by the employment of taste, knowledge, experience and judgment. To furnish a home, therefore, requires serious thought, when the end to be attained is one of harmony, simplicity and refinement. T 00 often a house on which an architect has expended his utmost skill is ruined interiorly by ignorance in selecting the furnishings and deco rations. The single choice of a wall paper may mean a disastrous introduction of glaring colours and distracting patterns. Often the mere ar rangement of the furniture becomes as impor tant in obtaining a pleasing interior as the design and finish of the different pieces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House Beautiful and Useful: Being Practical Suggestions on Furnishing and Decoration AT the Publishers' request, I have endeavoured to give in a fairly brief form some notes for the benefit of those who are faced with the problem of decorating 'and furnishing a home. There have been several works issued in recent years with a similar object in View; but their authors, as far as I can discover, have not kept in view the all-important ques tion of cost. To remedy this omission is one of the factors governing the appearance of the present volume. The ideal method of furnishing a home is to employ the services of a talented Architect and Craftsman, so that every piece of furniture and every scheme of decoration is an individual production - the only one of its kind - expressing the owner's taste and individuality. Unfortunately, such an ideal is only possible in the case of wealthy people. Nine-tenths of the population must continue to buy articles of furniture which are made to pattern by the dozen, and to employ schemes of decoration that have their counterpart in many other dwellings. It is the object of the following chapters to give some guidance to the selection of such furniture, and to indicate more or less desirable directions for decorative effort. While the majority of people cannot afford to employ an Architect or Craftsman, the person of average intellect and a certain amount of taste can do much for himself.

Download or read book Planning and Furnishing the Home Practical and Economical Suggestions for the Homemaker Classic Reprint written by Mary Josephine Quinn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Planning and Furnishing the Home, Practical and Economical Suggestions for the Homemaker The book differs from other available books on the subject. There is a group of valuable books on historic furniture, intended chiefly for the connoisseur, and another group of practical books, which either give nothing on the historic side or deal with expensive furnishings. Miss Quinn has written a book between these two classes, with a statement of principles and a rapid review of historic furniture because these are necessary as a basis, but with the practical side of details, directions, and prices that will assist the buyer of average means. Giving prices is always a difficult matter, and usually brings criticism, but, on the other hand, the possible range of prices is of the first importance to the average purchaser. Perhaps the main purpose of the book is to show that the family whose purse is slim can nevertheless have a beautiful setting if intelligence, interest, a reasonable amount of time, and the knowledge this book gives can be added to the money available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1890 and 1930, the domestic arts, as well as the daily life of the American family, began to reflect rapid advances in technology, aesthetics, and attitudes about American culture. Pictorial, literary, musical, and decorative arts from this era all reveal a shift from clutter to clarity and from profusion to restraint as modern conveniences, ranging from pre-stamped needlework patterns to central heat, were introduced into the domestic environment. However, the household arts were also affected by an enduring strain of conservatism reflected in the popularity of historically inspired furnishing styles. In this collection of essays, ten experts in turn-of-the-century popular and material culture examine how the struggle between modernity and tradition was reflected in various facets of the household aesthetic. Their findings touch on sub-themes of gender, generation, and class to provide a fascinating commentary on what middle-class Americans were prepared to discard in the name of modernity and what they stubbornly retained for the sake of ideology. Through an examination of material culture and prescriptive literature from this period, the essayists also demonstrate how changes in artistic expression affected the psychological, social, and cultural lives of everyday Americans. This book joins a growing list of titles dedicated to analyzing and interpreting the cultural dimensions of past domestic life. Its essays shed new light on house history by tracking the transformation of a significant element of home life - its expressions of art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on House Furnishing Perhaps these are trite things to say, but trite things are Often neglected truths, to the meaning of which we have been blinded by custom. The more reasonable they seem to be at a first glance, the less likely we are to ponder them until we know the full extent of their reasonableness. We go wrong in the household arts, not because our rash adventures have the charm of novelty, are new and attractive, but because they are too familiar to be understood, and ought therefore to be looked at from a fresh standpoint, one of common reason. Grave writers say, for instance, without the least hesitation. That the arts belong to experts and connoisseurs, and that laymen cannot hope to be on familiar terms with them: an opinion not in the least likely to encourage the public, nor is it borne out by well-known events. Moliere's housekeeper was an excellent critic, Shake speare made a fortune by pleasing the London people, and laymen today are the main patrons of art, let their judgment be false or true. The principles of home decoration are held up as great mysteries, yet their appeals to the mind are quite simple and tangible, like the laws of cricket and football. The difficulty is to play the game well after the rules are learnt by heart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
