there are ways you can make
your present furniture fit mora
easily into the new house and
save yourself time and energy.
The place to start is at home,
right now. with what you have.
Make a list of the pieces of
furniture and measure them.
Use these measurements to
check available wall space in
the new house to see if a piece
of furniture will fit. Make
little paper squares in scale
with the furniture and new
floor plan and use these to
place the furniture in each
room.
Planning on paper will save
indecision on moving day and
shifting furniture after you
have moved in. What is so very
nice about it is that this plan
ning- -after taking measure
ments- -is done without push
ing anything around heavier
than a pencil or scrap of paper.
Color, color, color! The
question usually is what color
should the new walls be? Or,
what color should the curtains
or bedspread or slip covers be?
Well, that depends. Often when
moving into a new house the
whole thing is repainted before
you move in. Many times you
can have it painted the color
you wish- -and that is where
the questions come in.
Start with a flooi plan or
rough sketch of the new house.
Then to help make this decis
ion, jot down all of the colors
you already have in your fur
nish i n g s that cannot be
changed- -upholstery, slip co
vers, curtains, spreads, rugs,
accessories and even wood col
ors that won’t change. Next
note on the house plan colors
in the new house that will not
change- -bathroom tile, kitc
hen tile, counter tops, built-in
appliances and floors.
By now you may be seeing
just what “it depends’’ means.
The colors used will certainly
“depend” and need to be re
lated to those items you have
or those that will not change.
If there are many very color
ful ones, keep the background
neutral. If your furnishings
tend toward the neutral, mor?
vivid colors can be used on the
walls.
Remember that small houses
seem larger if the colors do not
change too often. When you
can see into several rooms from
one position keep these walls
and much of the floors the
same to make them appear
more spacious. This would
work in reverse for a large
house; change colors in certain
areas or rooms to set that space
apart and make the house seem
smaller.
Did you have a “white elep
hant” after placing the furni
ture in your new house? It just
might change into a treasure if
you will think a bit. First, for
get what it has always been
used for and try to think how
many new ways and different
rooms it could be used in.
For instance, that break
front that is too big and bulky
for the dining area might be
just the thing in the den for

Two completely new hardtops and three new station wagons have been added
to Ford’s Fairlane series for 1963. This Fairlane 500 sports coupe with its Thunder
bird styled roofline, features a full-length console separating luxury-styled bucket
seats, and a color-keyed interior.
Engineering advancements and modern production techniques have eliminated
the need for a 1,000-mile inspection, and increased major chassis lubrication in
tervals to 36.000 miles, with minor lubrication intervals of 6.000 miles. These are
only two of the many service-saving items designed into all Ford Division cars
except club wagons and buses for 1963.
Fairlane hardtops, station wagons, and sporty sedans will go on display in dealer
showrooms on Friday, September 28.

wrong but you can paint it!
Paint it to blend into the wall

little other interest. Dresser
bases can be bed tables, cradles
can hold magazines or pot
plants, trunks can decorate the
entry hall- -there’s no end to
the possibilities with your
house.
