The furniture was solid mahogany a bed, bureau, chiffonier, couch and three chairs. The windows were fitted with wood-paneled shutters, shades and heavy draperies. A thick, soft carpet of faded red covered the floor. "It's a nice room, Jim, but I'd like to dust it for you," she said with a smile. "Sure. I'm for giving you the right to dust it every morning, Kiddo, beginning now.
That bookshelves lined the rectangular portion of this strange study I divined, although that end of the place was dark as a catacomb. The walls were wood-paneled, and the ceiling was oaken beamed. A small bookshelf and tumble-down cabinet stood upon either side of the table, and the celebrated American author and traveler lay propped up in a long split-cane chair.
Dick shouted, stamping with jingling spurs through the Big House in quest of its Little Lady. He came to the door that gave entrance to her long wing.

The richness of wood-paneled rooms can now be enjoyed at a cost that compares favorably with other wall coverings. The paneled interiors do not go out of style or require redecoration. They are not damaged by water or shock and ordinary breakage.
This great fireplace construction for burning four-foot logs projects into the room some eighteen inches, with wood-paneled sides, the adjoining walls being plastered.
