Meet our interior decorating guide, Miss Hazel Brown. Hazel once worked as a consultant and designer for Armstrong Cork Co. and was also a school teacher from Indianapolis. She certainly had a way with a paint brush and a pen! We think her writing skills about interior design are second to none so this is why we have included her journals here for our young readers inspiration. |
When planning a room consider how it's to be used and who will use it .
. . you'll see what I mean when you look at the rooms that I have
selected for this blog . . . each one answers a decorating problem
that's common in so many of our doll homes.
Before you start, one bit of advice, be sure to work out your color
scheme first. Carefully pick out your samples of drapery material,
upholstery, wall colors, and floor treatments. Then you can see in
advance how they will look when you put these all together in the finished
room. That's the professional way . . . and the best way, to keep from
making costly and unnecessary mistakes.
With these few suggestions - plus your own good taste, imagination, and
enthusiasm‚ you shouldn't have any trouble tackling any room in your
dollhouse."
Cordially yours, Hazel Brown
