What a delightful little film. A young couple with "more love than money" turn their crummy walk-up apartment into quite the showplace, by refinishing old furniture.
Lots of helpful tips on how to do this, and ends with telling you how to order booklets to tell you more. I can't help wonder, though, about all the fumes from paint and paint thinner in that tiny apartment.
Ends with the idea that the apartment has more individuality than if they'd just bought everything new. Hurray! Jack and Jill don't escape to the 'burbs, and they do all right.
