How can I choose a color for a chest of drawers?

Furniture Ferret: The color scheme in one's space can be a result of necessity, but it has a great effect on the feelings you get from your space. The two main things to consider for everything color is balance and associations. Balance simply means that the colors should ideally be coordinated, so that the room looks like a unit. This can be achieved by using a color wheel, and selecting colors that are either quite close to each other (colors that are only different in intensity of lightness do go together, but slight variations in the actual hue can also be fine), or quite far, for example on opposite sides of the wheel (complementary colors like blue and yellow) or on different thirds (for example, red-green-blue). Associations with and emotions connected to colors are also important, and there is no shortage of lists for these from those by 19th-century Impressionist painters to modern interior design guides. It is quite probable that these emotions are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different in different cultures or just for different individuals. Blue is often associated with productivity, but also stability, calmness and even sadness. Green is clearly the color of nature, and is considered to be connected to safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures envy is yellow). Yellow is always a shouty color and can mean brightness, warmth, energy and attention (likely evoking the sun), except when it is dark and becomes brown, when it is thought to be relaxing and comfortable. Red is thought of as 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 signals danger and importance, so it should be put next to a neutral color to allow the brain to rest. These emotions are so varied that these guidelines seem to boil down to just one piece of advice: pause and see what the color means for you.

Questions and answers

Is it possible to search for chests of drawers by width, height and length?

Finding chests of drawers in search engines on the web by size is not straightforward as search engines are best at finding text only. Also, when searching for chests of drawers to fit a given space, slightly narrower items would also be suitable. Even if some webshops allow searching for chests of drawers by measurements, searching many shops at the same time is time-consuming. Furniture Ferret scour many webshops on the web and index thousands of items so you can buy the one that fits perfectly.

How do I measure the space to fit a chest of drawers in?

Measure the width and the depth of the space where you'd like to place a chest of drawers. The most accurate way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the start of the tape down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the opposite edge. Make sure the tape is parallel to the side of the space, or else you get a value larger than the reality. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to with your arms, ask someone else to help, or split the distance up into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down partway through and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you have measured on the floor or wall, and start a new measurement. If you want to avoid drawing on the floor, you can position a pointy object like a screwdriver there. Don't forget to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like pipes. Also don't forget to measure the height of the space wherever the ceiling is low like in loft rooms.

From the history of furniture: Brass and copper utensils Part 2

"About two miles from West Liberty Town I passed by Probes' Furnace, a foundry established by a Frenchman from Alsace, who manufactures all kinds of vessels in copper and brass, the largest containing about 200 pints, which are sent to Kentucky and Tennessee, where they use them in the prep aration of salt by evaporation. The smaller ones are for domestic uses."

This was in the southwestern part of Pennsylvania in 1802.

A little later on in his narrative he says: "At Springfield or near it is Mays-lick where there is a salt mine. For evaporation they make use of brazen pots, containing 200 pints, and similar in form to those used in France for making lye. They put ten or twelve of them in a row in a pit 4 ft. deep, and at the ends throw in billets of wood and kindle a fire. These sort of kilns consume great quantities of wood."

I have never found any of these kettles marked or stamped in any way. They are not difficult to find, and, brightly polished, are always ornamental.

Among the lists of goods belonging to the pioneers aa'Iio came to this country are often to be found objects "metal," of Prince's as it was called. This was a com position of brass, arsenicum, and copper. " Latten ware," was used also, and this was largely composed of brass as well.

By 1700 the records show a great variety of house hold articles, and make interesting reading. Cornelius Jacobs in this year had several pairs of brass andirons, and two pairs of iron " dogs," though just what the distinction was it is hard to tell.
