Questions and answers

How do I measure the space to fit a cabinet in?

Measure the width and the depth of the area where you'd like to put a cabinet. The most accurate way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the beginning down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the other edge. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to, ask a friend for help, or split the distance up into multiple parts. You can do this by either holding the tape down partway through and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you measured on the floor or wall, and start a new measurement. If you would not like to make a mark on your floor, try putting down a pointy object like a pen there. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like decorative strips. Also don't forget to measure the height of the space wherever the ceiling is low.

How can I choose a color for a cabinet?

The two main things to consider for everything color is balance and associations. Balance means that the colors should ideally be coordinated in some way, so that the room looks like a unit, and not just a random collection of elements. This can be achieved by using a color wheel, and going for colors that are either quite close to each other, or quite far, like on different halves of the wheel (complementary colors like red and green) or on different thirds (for example, cyan-orange-purple). Other color combinations are likely be somewhat jarring just based on how our eyes and brains understand color. Associations with and emotions connected to colors are also important to keep in mind, and there is no shortage of lists for these from those by 19th-century Impressionist painters to modern interior design guides. In all likelihood these associations are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be quite different in different cultures or just for different individuals. Blue is often connected to productivity, but also calmness, stability and even sadness. Green is undoubtedly the color of nature, and is said to be connected to safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures this latter is yellow). Pink is thought to bring kindness, nurturing, romance and calmness, while it was the masculine color of choice for clothing over many decades. Red is considered to be the color of friendship, willpower, leadership, desire and anger, which is a very wide range of emotions. But it is clear that in nature, it means danger and importance, so you probably need to put it next to a calm color to allow the eye to rest. These emotions are so different that these guides seem to boil down to just this: pause and consider what the color means for you.

From the history of furniture: Brass and copper utensils Part 5

In Figure 191 a tow of stout candlesticks of good Colonial types is shown. A " sliding pattern much used among the thrifty, is given in Figure 192. As the candle burned away it could be moved up, so that there was no waste. There is also another early pattern of a stick with a grease tray, which caught the drippings as they fell from the burning candle. This was very necessary in the case of tallow dips, or any candles not made of wax. The big candlestick in the centre is a Russian church stick. Other candlesticks of Russian and often Jewish origin are shown in Figure 193, and all were used for religious purposes. The Jews were noted long ago for their proficiency in metal work. In Bible days at Tyre and Sidon they traded" in vessels of brass in thy [...]

The Chinese also worked in brass and other metals centuries ago, and embodied many of their strange artistic ideas in domestic articles. One of their temple sticks is also shown; it is the one with the two birds on it.

The two candlesticks with glass shades are of English make, one of Sheffield plate and one of ma hogany (see Figure 194). The smaller one was for bedroom use, and the shade prevented draughts from extinguishing the candle when it was carried about. These are reproduced to-day in brass as well as plated ware, and are quite as useful in country houses as they were in the days when they were the latest thing out. The tall mahogany candlestick is one of a pair which are in as fine condition as they were the day they were made. For many a long year they graced the mantel shelf of a fine old house, being one of the chief orna ments of the best room, and lighted only when company was expected. On such occasions conversation or cards were the amusements, and such sticks never left their dignified retreat on the shelf. On the card-tables, many of which were provided with round, flat places for the candlesticks to stand, would be found tall candlesticks like those seen in Figure 195.
