Pleasing decorative effects may be obtained by bringing out the natural graining of the woodwork. Chestnut and cypress areparticularly suitable for this as they may be stained and wax finished, or stained and rubbed down to produce this effect. Thisfireplace was built with outside bricks selected for their color. There is a mottling of purple and bluish tones among the redsthat harmonizes strikingly with the Oriental rug before it
A lounge before the fireplace becomes more useful if a table bearing a lamp is placedbehind it. Cypress is reasonable for interior trim, costing from sixty to sixty-eightdollars a thousand feet
