Bedecked,bejew6led,-- exotic
and c-OlOrinf, "the functio-nal and
formerly neglected bathroom, is
fast becoming, in many homes,
the most-decorated, most-dis-
played room of all.
Today, there are enough bath-
room designs. enough acces-
sories,' enough equipment and
enough materials with wide
choice of colors and styles to
satisfy the most demanding
homemakers. •
All it needs is to lavish the
same care in the selection of
accessories, materials and
equipment as is given to other
areas of the home.,
Colorful, washable vinyl wall-
paper can hide .drab plaster, and
attractive shower curtains and
bright new towels in co-ordin-
ated colors can give a gay atmos-
phere without too much economic
plan.
Bathrooms can be planned
to meet such common demands
as: better ventilation, hairwash-
ing facilities, more storage
space, better hand-laundry
facilities, a drinking fountain,
more grab bars and seating
space -- and above all, better
color and design.
Such. practical improvements

Overhead Wittig ;are some of the-
'Innovations recommended.
There are custom cabinets to
provide space for the growing,
number of items now used *in
the bathroom. -- cosmetics and
medicines, electrical equipment
such as shaverS, tooth brushes,
hair dryerS, massage machines.
Better lighting and lavish use
of mirrors can make shaving and
make-up• a joy instead of a chore.
Walls, floors, counters and
accessories are made in
materials easy to Maintain, and
for those who cannot afford such
luxuries as marble or onyx, there
are many sensible and attractive
substitutes.
The choice of bathroom
'adornments is wide -- less than
ten dollars to glamorize an
eleCtite bulb by covering it with
a beaded "crystal overcoat",
up to hundreds of dollars for an
imported crystal chandelier.
A common mistake in selec,
ting a fixture for a dining room
is to shOp for., the most decora-
tively correct model, without re-
card for lighting requirements.
A chandelier may, key a romantic
mood and help' fine silver and
Even though a homeowner
dutifully cares for his house, he
may often neglect inspecting
the roof until it is too late. A
"driving rain, combined with wind
and a „prior beating of the sun
and elements,- can bring-a number
of serious leaks during just one
overnight rainstorm, with result-
ing damage to Walls, floors and
furnishings.
Responsible roofers will
check a roof free of charge and
give e finites for any needed
repairs or replacements. If
reroofing, . necessary, the
homeowner can select frame var-
iety of heavy-weight fire-rated
asphalt roofing materials.
U the, home has a shingle
roof, check the following•trouble
'spots.
, 1. Damaged or missing shing-
les -- if patches of shingles or
dinnerware sparkle like jewels--
but there are limitations.
The low level of illumina-
tion is unflattering to, the ap-
pearance of the hostess and her
guests. , It's hard to .see food
well and this annoys some
people. Setting the table and
tidying up• are difficult. .
To maintain the glamour' of
the chandelier along with better
,lighting, install two or more
recessed spotlights in 'the
ing.
This doesn't- interfere with
the candelight effect, but will
provide light where ..it's. needed
--for table and people.

1.
single shingles are missing or
loose, the roof is in an advance
stage of deterioration.
It takes a careful inspection
to determine if pOrtions of many
shingles have broken off and
blown away or if shingles have
cupped or split. If so, a , good
rain an d wind storm may start
the bucket brigade.
2. Flashing -- Anything that_,
projecfs through the roof is a
danger source for leaks. Metal
flanges and collars around chim-
neys, pipe and vents are not
only subject to rust, but -the
cement caulking eventually dries
out and falls away, exposing op-
enings to rain and moisture.
Rusty spots should be painted
to prevent further damage, and
where 'rust has penetrated all
the way through the metal, it
must be replaced.
3. Popped Nails. If too short
nails have been used, wind will
have ' loosiened roofing nails so
that heads are no longer in con-
tact with the shingles.
4.Gutters and Gutter Hangers.
Leaves and debris should be
cleared from gutters, for better
inspection of rust spots and
rusted-out areas.
Where gutter hangers have
been nailed atop shingles leaks
can develop. Deterioration at
this point may require replace-
ment of "the entire "starting"
area of the roof shingles, even
though"the'remainder of the roof
may be in good condition.
5. Skylights. Check all flanges
and flashings to make sure they
are secure and unbroken and the
seal around the glass (whether
putty or a synthetie caulking
material) is tight: .
6. Bare Spots. A serviceable
roof can eventually wear out.Look
for patches of dark gray or black,
which are more noticeable with
light than with darl colored roof-
ing.
7. Torn Hip and Ridge Siting-
les. Top edges of gables, hips and
ridges are covered' with special

Plan
kitchen
remodelling
• when it's time to remodel
the kitchen then it's time to call
a family conference.
Naturally everybody has 'a
real Interest in the kitchen, the.
source of, all that good food.-But '
faintly concern fOr the kitchen
goes beyond this basic.
' A well-planned kitchen Is 'a
room the whole family can use,
"SOAt's wise to get opinions at
the outset. •
- What should the new kitchen
include? •
DECOR COUNTS ,
The food preparation area,
the food storage area and the 41i clean-up area come first," of
course. Good kitchen design
brings, dish-washer-sink,'re-
frigerator-freezer and oven- ,
surface cooking units togethef in
close harmony.
What's more modern, work=
saving appliances pay, attention
to color and design, in ways that
fit any decor. And that .leads
, to another point. The kitchen
should be attractive.
Family preferences come into
play here. what shall be the
color scheme? Shall the walls
'be paneled, painted, papereh?
,What 'should be done about floor
and ceiling?
Discussion- 'with some com-
promises, no doubt - should. help
the family come up with a general
plan. To some-extent, decorat-
ing will be determined by the
other functions of the kitchen.
'If space is available, choice
ma y be a kitchen that doubles
as a family room. The family
room-kitchen is a favorite in
many new homes, and it's, often
possible to create with a setting
in an older home.
A desk-study area, which
Mom can use for household plan-
ning and the youngsters for home-
work, is another potsibility.Even
.the smallest kitchen should have
room for a bulletin board and
message center.
An informal dining area con-
tinues to be one of the most popul-;
a' kitchen additions. In the
smaller kitchen, the choice could -
be a breakfast bar: •
Some extra attractions of the
kitchen come from modern ap-
pliances - for Instance, a range
with its own hot water tap or a
reirigerator-freezer with an ex-
terior dispenser for chilled water
or ice cubes.
To create the custom look,
there are a variety of wall ovens
and cooktop units. And a new
dishwasher comes with a dec-
orator front.
At this point, the family con-
ference should probably adjourn
in search of inforthation from,
dealers in appliances and buIld-
ing products.
• Such information can be a
guide to final decisions,
budgeting and the' distributiOn of
work - what is to be profes-
sionally done and what can be
do -it-yourself.
