Making home homelike : a hand-book on ways and means of decorating and beautifying the home.
Making Home Homelike is a 1920 decorating handbook by Eleanor Colby, published in Detroit by Berry Brothers, aimed at home owners wanting practical advice on paint, varnish and room decoration. The four colour plates show idealised interiors drawn in pencil and watercolour: a living room with a brick fireplace and built-in bookcases, a bedroom with twin beds, a wicker-furnished sunroom, and a tiled bathroom. A designer could take their soft yellow walls, striped upholstery and restrained period palette as reference for vintage interiors.
