The home decorator: vol. iii, no. 12.
A 1913 trade catalogue issued by the Sherwin-Williams Co. to show homeowners paint schemes for house exteriors and interiors. The pages pair colour illustrations of finished houses with captions listing the exact paint, stain and varnish products used on each surface. A designer can take from them the period palette of cream, brown, green and red-trim combinations and the way exterior siding, trim and porch floors were colour-keyed.
