» If you plan your Christmas light-
ing around the furnishings in your
living room it can provide all the
(ighting you need for holiday enter-
taining. :
To give you an idea of how to
spread your Christmas lighting
around your room, study the pic-
tures above. These three settings
designed by Miss Mary Webber,
General Electric lighting specialist,
for use in her own living room 140
square feet, provided an attractive
atmosphere for holiday entertaining.
First step in lighting the room
above was to create a dramatic
point of interest on the large win-
dow shown in the top left photo-
graph above. A miniature tree was
arranged in a large size bread pan
covered with gold paper. The pan
was stuffed tightly with chicken
wire to hold the branches in place.
To silhouette the miniature tree
and to give interesting color patches
of light on the blind, a narrow
cardboard box, cut to the length
and height of the pan was placed
directly behind it. Holes were cut
in the top of the cardboard box
to hold sockets of a Christmas tree
string of multiple lights in an up-
right position. A secondary ‘‘tree”
fashioned from Christmas cards and
shiny ornaments was created on the
blind itself.
The lighted valance, together with
twinkling candles, creates fascinat-
ing reflections on the mirror-like
ornaments. If your valance is not
lighted or, if your window does not
have one, you can use two or three
strings of Christmas lights entwined
in greens above your window.
Across the room, as shown in the
lower photograph , below, another
top of the television set. All parts
of the decoration are inexpensive
“store items.” However, to give
dimensions, depth and glow, the
large angel ornament was lighted.
The top of the ornament was pried
up enough to insert a wired inter-
mediate socket a tiny clear S-11
10-watt bulb. The cord was taped
tight to the back of the ornament
and carried under the non-inflam-
able, sparkle-dotted cotton down to
a convenient outlet.
Notice how although the bulb is
not visible, it rays encircle the tiny
angel choir.
To complete the holiday lighting
in the room, shiny green foil paper
was taped to the back of the secre-
tary as shown in the picture at the
right above. For light and sparkle,
a 25-watt tubular (T-6%) bulb,
fastened in the top left-hand front
corner of the secretary where it re-
rains year ‘round, highlights the
delicate gold angel and arrange-
ment of greens. Another arrange-
ment used year round as well as
during the holidays is the simple
reflector on top of the bookcase.
Only 18% inches long and painted
to match the wall the reflector con-
ceals a long 60-watt lumiline lamp
for subtle lighting effects on wall
and ceiling.
