Cost, $4,000 to $6,500. Painting. The appearance of all buildings depends as much on the color as on the form. A very commonplace house may be made quite attractive b} r a judicious use of colors in painting, and a very attractive design may be seriously marred by poor coloring. The infinite variety of color at command is all good if properly used, but don’t use many colors on one building. A safe rule is to use shades of the same color. Paint the body;' one color and trim with one or two shades of the same. In general don’t use slate or drab thinking “they are modest colors.’’ They have a cold deadening effect unless enlivened by warmer colors in the surroundings. Don’t paint the same colors as neighboring houses. Don’t follow the “popular craze” in color at any time. Don’t paint your house, which is entire¬ ly different in size, form and surroundings, a color which looked well on some other house, unless that color is appropriate to your house and surroundings, and don’t forget the effect of the 1 surroundings on the color selected to paint your house.
