How to choose a colour for shelves?

The colour scheme in one's space can be a bit accidental, but it has a great effect on how you feel in your room. The two main things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance simply means that the colours in one's space should be coordinated, so that the room looks like a unit. This can be achieved by using a colour wheel, and going for colours that are either quite close to each other (as colours that are only different in intensity of lightness do go together, but slight variations in hue can also be fine), or quite far, for example on different halves of the wheel (complementary colours like blue and yellow) or on different thirds (for example, cyan-orange-purple). Associations with and emotions connected to colours are equally important. In all likelihood these emotions are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different for different people. The associations can even be contradictory, making it even more difficult to use them as a guide. Blue is often connected to productivity, but also stability, calmness and even sadness. Green is clearly the colour of nature, and is said to be associated with safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures envy is yellow). White can be connected to peacefulness, cleanliness, innocence and emptiness, and, for example, mourning in India. Red is regarded as the colour of friendship, energy, leadership, desire and anger - a very wide range of emotions. But it is clear that in nature, it signals danger and importance, so you probably need to put it next to a calm colour to allow the brain to rest. These associations are so varied that these guidelines all seem to boil down to just this: pause and consider what the colour means for you.

From the history of furniture: Antique glassware Part 3

They are called "drawn glasses" because they seem to have been drawn from a single piece of glass, both bowl and stem having been formed by drawing out with a single spiral movement. They come in many sizes, and on tall or short stems, and are nearly as early as the " waisted " ones, some fine examples of which are shown in the next Figure (119).

The drawn-bowl glasses never are knopped in the centre, like the first and third glasses in Figure 119, but they are frequently decorated with a twisted ribbon of white glass, or a twisted tear of air, while those for tavern use frequently had a bead of air introduced at the top of the stem. These choice varieties of glass were made for wealthy patrons, aa'Iio used them to drink wine from. Even in America many were in use, and in the Figure 120 can be noted many examples which did duty at Mount Vernon, when President and Madam Washington had guests to dinner. In fact all the elegant articles shown in this picture belonged to them, and it is well to note the fine glass candelabra on the top shelf, which must have been very orna mental when lighted up with candles.

The very choicest of all the glasses were engraved, most often with floral forms, sometimes with weaths of grapes and leaves. A point to be noted in the toav of glasses in Figure 118 is the extreme solidity of the stems and bases, which are very different from the slender stems of the modern wine-glasses. These old glasses were made so that they could not upset easily, ¦— avery necessary qualification in days when tem perance was far less considered than it is at the present time, and when squire, and parson too, were frequently taken from under the table, so potent had been the contents of these seemly glasses. I should call all these glasses spirit glasses, since the beer and wine-glasses all held more copious draughts. Some of the liquors and cordials which were drunk from these small glasses were imported. Among such were Clove or Caraway Waters, Oil of Venus, Oil of Hazelnuts, Parfait Amour, Essence of Tea or Coffee, Free Masons' Cordial, and many others.
