HOMEMAKER news this month comes from Holly' wood where Lurene Tuttle, who plays Junior's harassed mother in NBC's Red Skelton show, is redecorating her house and doing such a magnificent job of it that it is fast becoming one of the loveliest and most livable houses in town.
"I'm strictly an amateur decorator," says Lurene, "but now anyone can use the best professional tricks."
It is a new method which Lurene has been using so successfully, and this is the way it operates. The first step is to take a sample of the drapery or slipcover material or carpeting you wish to use to a "paint bar," where it is checked against a "color wheel." This is a large plastic disc dotted with small discs of paint, ranging throughout the spectrum in color. Your sample is matched to a paint dot which will blend perfectly. Each color dot is marked with a formula which indicates the ingredients, and their proportion, needed to mix paint of that exact hue. Augmenting the wheel is a series of small color cards, one to match each color dot and bearing the same formula. When the customer selects a paint from the color wheel, she is given a matching color card.
Her next step is to take this card to a paint warehouse where a "color tender" mixes paint according to the formula on her card, very much as a druggist makes up a prescription. Since color is lighter after drying, a sample of each prescription-mixed paint is made on still another card and allowed to dry for 24 hours. At the end of this drying time the customer checks the sample against her own color card and when — and only when — she is satisfied that it matches to perfection, the paint is delivered to her home.
