Really an enchanting nest, and as it is in a New York apartment,
and occasionally used as a bedroom, a piece of furniture has been
designed for it similar to the wardrobe shown in picture, only
not so high. The glass door, when open, disclose a toilet table,
completely fitted out, the presence of which one would never
suspect.

Antique and Reproductions._]

The carpet made of dark taupe velvet covers the entire floor. The
furniture is Louis XV, of the wonderful painted sort, the beautiful
bed with its low head and foot boards exactly the same height, curving
backward; the edges a waved line, the ground-colour a lovely
pistache green, and the decoration gay old-fashioned garden flowers in
every possible shade. The bureau has three or four drawers and a bowed
front with clambering flowers. These two pieces, and a delightful
night-table are exact copies of the Clyde Fitch set in the Cooper
Hewitt Museum, at New York; the originals are genuine antiques, and
their colour soft from age.

A graceful dressing-table, with winged mirrors, has been designed to
go with this set, and is painted like the bureau. The glass is a
modern reproduction of the lovely old eighteenth century mirror glass
which has designs cut into it, forming a frame.

For chairs, all-over upholstered ones are used, of good lines and
proportions; two or three for comfort, and a low slipper-chair for
convenience. These are covered in a chintz with a light green ground,
like the furniture, and flowered in roses and violets, green foliage
and lovely blue sprays.

The window curtains are of soft, apple-green taffeta, trimmed with a
broad puffing of the same silk, edged on each side by black
moss-trimming, two inches wide. These curtains hang from dull-gold
cornices of wood, with open carving, through which one gets glimpses
of the green taffeta of the curtains.

The sash-curtains are of the very finest cream net, and the window
shades are of glazed linen, a deep cream ground, with a pattern
showing a green lattice over which climb pink roses. The shades are
edged at the bottom with a narrow pink fringe.

The bed has a cover of green taffeta exactly like curtains, with the
same trimming of puffed taffeta, edged with a black moss-trimming.
