ca. 1972. Copy of customer's print of children's room furnishings. Careful selection of color schemes and desk furnishings provide an immediate appeal to any small child. Vibrant golds in the thick area rug are echoed in the colors found in the drawer doors, paintings, watering can, and even the peering, curious tiger statue. Additional touches such as the sea shells and starfish, tropical bird toy, painting of a white foamed ocean, and a train painted on a storage can, would seem to open the world to a child's imagination.
