Jack Kelly - "Choose Accessories Carefully" :)

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

And "Welcome" to our newest follower. It's alway great to meet another Jack Kelly fan! :->

Now, here are the rest of the Kellys' home decorating hints from Photoplay:

"'Carpet,' the Kellys suggest, 'as many rooms as you can afford to, in the same carpeting.'

"'Pull furniture away from walls,' say the Kellys, 'and arrange it for easy conversation.' Jack and May wisely placed their living-room pieces around their fireplace, just as we have done in our composite sketch [below]. If you haven't a fireplace as a focal point, try grouping furniture around a window with a view, a painting or picture grouping, or a handsome music piece--piano, TV, phono.

"'Choose accessories carefully,' the Kellys urge, 'because they can make all the difference between a distinguished and run-of-the mill decorating job.' For their early-American home, they scoured antiques shops for a pair of wonderful old Spanish andirons, a fine old Boston rocker, and their prized find--two beautiful old still-life paintings.

"The Kellys believe that 'if you choose these small things because you love them and can see their value, others seem to, too, and treat them as you do--with T.L.C. (tender loving care).'"

Very interesting, and very inspiring! I think it's time to lose the milk crates and futons and redecorate Casa Bartista the Kelly way. ;->
