To. Recolour Blinds
Dear Aunt Daisy, Some time ago I remember seeing direttions in The Listener for painting Holland blinds. I did not think at the time I should ever need the information, but having had a room painted and papered the present colouring of the blinds is not suitable. Would it be pos- | sible to repeat the directions in The Listener. I would be most grateful if this could be done. Thanking you in| anticipation, "M.E.," Remuera. | The only way I have on my files is to paint the blinds both sides with a thin varnish stain. But as you have made your room so nice with new paper and paint I think it would be a mistake to try to furbish up old blinds That was just an emergency measure during the years of the depression. Some _ people rubbed the blinds with a suitable colour ot boot polish, and rubber it up afterwards with a velvet pad! My advice is to get opaque and suitable curtain material and "draw the curtains" at night timea quite pretty way to manage. Then when you are ready, get the new Venetian blinds put in. These come in many different shades, and are most satisfactorv.
