0007-SWP-000102942 Tike Joy of Color INEXPENSIVELY ACHIEVED By BETTY WOOD of the Sherurm-Ji^lIIlams Decorative Service? 1 .Ar r a n g in g the in terior furnishings and decorations and planning the color schemes ofthe manyinteresting homes presented in this new "Home Decorator," has been a real pleasure for all of us engaged in the Sherwin-Williams Decorative Service. Having served thousands'of home owners by offering decorative sugges tions for their homes, it occurred to U3 that if we could visualise the most practical and interesting of these ex amples to our readers it would be a wel come contribution. So we planned to carry out this work under the actual conditions presented by real homes in need of redecoration. And our beautiful book was built to help solve the problems of many folks who, like yourself, would welcome the help of some authoritative source for correct color sugges tions without large expendi tures for service or materials. As a matter of fact the point I want to stress most in presenting this book is the economy of doing over a home or a room or a group of rooms. I know I was surprised myselfat the inexpensive way in which many of these homes and rooms were finished or refinished and what a small outlay the actual paint materials represented. For instance, in preparing these rooms for photographing inactual color,which method of reproduction has been em ployed to show detail of the rooms and furniture, the actual cost of paint ma terials used was only five dollars or less for the average kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Between five and ten dollars was expended for the average living room, dining room and hallway. Many of my friends couldn't believe this until we showed them the empty containers from which we had used just that amount of material. We surely proved that quality is economy and were even amazed ourselves at how much surface we could cover, and how well, with so little ma terial. The best is certainly the most inexpensive in paints. The Home Decorator--1933 Edition of the "Joy of Color Book" 1 0007-SWP-000102943 fgr.

The purity of these colors makes it easy to make at' tractive color schemes. SWP HOUSE PAINT The finest possible quality which Sher win-Williams put into SWP is of very practical value to the buyer. The colors are true and cleaner in appearance. The White is pure and very brilliant. This fine appearance lasts years longer than cheap paint because SWP has a tighter film and does not roughen in weather ing. SWP washes dean with soap andl water. It costs less money to paint with SWP. Fewer gallons are needed and your painter cart save up to 10% in labor cost by using SWP because he can pro duce a handsome job with SWP in less time and with less effort.

N -'i 16 S-W STUCCO AND CON CRETE PAINT Rainsoakcd stucco makes a damp house that is unhealthful and hard to heat.

PREPARATION OF THE SURFACE No matter what kind of a finish 'is being applied, the surface to be fin ished must be in proper condition or the results will be disappointing. There are many surface conditions which have to be removed entirely or complete failure of the finish will re sult. In all cases, no matter how much work is involved, it always pays to have the surface prepared properly. The following suggestions are impor tant and are followed by good paint ers in obtaining the best finishing results. 1. Ordinary dirt on old finishes to be repainted should be washed off with soap and water, rinsed and dried thor oughly. The new finish will be cleaner, look more attractive and wear better. 5. Greasy surfaces should be washed clean with benzine. Waxed surfaces should be cleaned with turpentine. Several washings are necessary to en tirely remove the wax. Both condi tions prevent proper drying of fin ishes applied over them and the usual result is that the finish remains stick)'. 6. Open-grain woods, like oak, chest nut and walnut do not enamel well unless the open pores are filled with S-W Paste Wood Filler to make the surface level. 7. Cracks in wood (interior) should be filled with S-W Crack and Seam Filler after the priming coat has been applied. Cracks in outside woodwork should be filled with good putty after the priming coat has been applied. 2. Dust or lint should be removed with a dusting brush because these particles show up greatly enlarged in the final finish. 3. Rusted spots should be sandpa pered bright and be touched up with primer or with the enamel thinned as directed before applying the general coat. 4. Porous surfaces (wood, plaster, unsized wallboatd, etc.) should be sealed. with the proper primer as specified in each case. Otherwise the finish "strikes in" and even a number of coats applied over such an un primed surface would continue to dry spotty. Such a finish does not wear well and housepaint applied in this manner weathers quickly. Cracks in plaster should be cleaned out and then filled with plaster of paris or patching plaster. Wet the plaster with water, then work in the patching material. Let it dry for a day and prime all patches with S-W Wall Primer and Sealer. 8. Coat all knots and pitchy places with orange shellac before painting. 9. Loose or scaly paint should be scraped or removed with a wire brush. Housepaint badly cracked, blistered or scaled should be burned off. (Have an experienced painter do this.) Badly scratched or checked varnish or enamel should be softened with S-W Taxite and scraped off, following di rections carefully on the can. 19 0007-SWP-000102960 CARS OF THE HANDS Vaseline rubbed into the hands keeps paint from penetrating the skin (do not put greasy hands on surface to be painted). Dipping the hands into water before washing off paint, var nish or enamel with turpentine, pre vents deying and roughening of the skin. Work a generous amount of S-W Flaxoap (pure linseed oil soap) into the hands. Do not wet'or rinse until the jelly-like soap has been worked well into the pores. Then lather and rinse in warm water and the skin will feel soft and pleasant. TO REMOVE PAINT FROM-- 1. Cl o t h in g , Ru g s o r . Fa b r ic s : Place a heavy blotter under, the spot, rub vigorously with a dean doth dipped into Rogers Brushing Lacquer Thinner. Fresh paint, varnish or enamel yields to ben zine. If dried in, soften with S-W Taxite (won't injure fabrics) and rub out with "benzine. 2. Sp a t t e r s o n Ot h e r Fin is h e s : If hot dry or hard, wipe off with benzine. Avoid turpentine or RBL Thinner, as liable to dull the sur- face. 3. Gl a s s o r Mir r o r s : .Scrape off with safety razor blade and wash with water with household am monia added. 4. BRUSHES: Be sure to ask Paint Headquarters for the correct brush for the finishing you are planning to do. J. COMPLETE REMOVAL OF PAINT OR VARNISH AND ENAM EL OR LACQUER Apply S-W Taxite Paint and Var nish Remover to the surface to be cleaned. In a few minutes the finish will soften so that it can be lifted off with a putty knife. Add more Taxite and scrub clean with a hand brush. Wash off Taxite with benzine and alcohol. ENAMEL FINISH CHANGED TO WOODGRAIN EFFECT Select the color of S-W FIo-Lac Var nish Stain desired. If the enamel is white, ivory or light cream, simply apply Flo-Lac and make a grained effect by dragging a whisk broom through the finish while it is still wet. Green, blue or other colored enamels should first be painted with One coat of S-W Enameloid Taupe, allowed to dry and then finished with Flo-Lac. ENAMEL FINISH "ANTIQUED" OR GLAZED "Antiqued" and glazed enamel fin ishes are richer than plain finishes. S-W Glazing Liquid (transparent) is tinted with Oil Colors and brushed over the enamel. Antiqued effects are simply wiped off so that color is left only in parts, in mouldings, cracks, etc., to produce an antique effect. Glazed woodwork may be done in an endless variety of stippled textures, either wiped off to show a panel inset or left over the entire surface. Two or more colors may be used. - The panels of die door may be in a dif ferent glaze tint from the frame, etc. Ctitling, Semi-Lustre I vet / White Walk, Serm-Lustre Light Pink ar.d White raixeJ equal parts Dado, Semi-Lustre Light Pink Woodwork, Er.ameloii French Gray Ceiling and Walk, Semi-Lustte Cream Dado.

But where walls are often dampened by moisture coming through the wall S-W Decotint is recom mended. But by all means, paint the base ment walls so that the rooms will be lighter and more cheerful. Ceilings should be painted white or ivory. Dark cellar stairways painted in light tints will save many a misstep and painful fall.
