C6 - Wednesday, May 26, 1982 - North Shore News A dreary bathroom can take all the pleasure out of a long hot bath or an experi- mental make-up session. One of the quickest ways to change the atmosphere of the whole room is with paint or wallpaper. A light shade wii make the bathroom look bigger and airier; a darker, warmer color will impart a cosy feeling. If you like a modern look consider a vivid color scheme such as red, white and blue, or a stark black and white. For a traditional effect, look for wallcovering in a soft shade with a sub- dued print. If you're not ready for a full-room makeover, you can still change the am- bience from dreary to cheery with a few simple touches. Here are some ideas that can give big returns for a smail investment: ®*Add some plants — they'll thrive in the humid environment. You probably can't think of any place in the bathroom to plant a plant, so put up a couple of shelves. You could also hang a plant in front of the window for guaranteed light, or find a tall floor plant that will fit into a particular spot. Play a trick with mirrors — apply mirror squares to an entire wall and the room will grow visually and look brighter. *Sew a skirt for an old- fashioned wall-mounted sink. A soft, smock-topped Skirt in a pretty fabric will hide ugly pipes and provide storage space for cleaning implemerts. Attach the skirt wuh fasicaing tape so it will be easy to remove for SECURE YOUR RESIDENCE 190° Angle Door Viewer see callers easily & they can't see in Sohd brass. optical lens. super wide viewing angle $25 installed 40% discount! on viewer with any lock installation We also install deadbolts. channlocks. hinges etc repaus & replacement J S HOME 925-2207 « IMPROVEMENTS JACK WATTS IDLIDC.
