A RUSTIC KITCHEN paneled in rough textured pine
"crate" wood is warmed up with "Jelling" a whimsical rug
from Ege Rya's new 100% wool Heritage Collection. Styl-
ized peasant motifs that enhance the country atmosphere
are authentic designs from a circa 16th-18t1i century Scan-
dinavian wall-hanging. Clear wood furnishings as well as
the earth-toned rug colors create a sense of back-to-essen-
tials characteristic of the current "naturals" style.

Natural-look rugs make rooms feel rustic
The natural look is "in"
with everything from the
way you dress and look to
the way you decorate your
home and prepare your
food. Rustic, country
kitchens with home-baked
bread seem to be as popu-
lar in New York City as on
a Vermont farm.
Along with the grand
"return to nature" is a
longing for heritage and
tradition. Arts and crafts
ring with ethnic flavor.
The needlework, long ago
abandoned by our grand-
mothers and aunts, has
suddenly reappeared with
patterns reminiscent of
peasant backgrounds.
Even the colors are "nat-
ural" and speak of the rich
earth. Brown, gold, "peas-
ant blue," rust, green, and
a spirited terracotta en-
hance the motifs of a sim-
pler way of life.
If you long for a "heri-
tage home" of your own,
but your great-great
grandmother didn't leave
you any 300-year-old heir-
looms, how do you begin?
Let's start with the eat-in
kitchen.
First, there are the es-
sentials: a table—possibly
with a butcher block top,
and the chairs. In the cor-
ner, a clear wood etagere
to hold such "rustic" ac-
cessories as a ceramic jar,
mugs, dishes, lots of plants
and a wooden wine rack.
With the proper amount
of ambition, you can panel
the walls in rough-tex-
tured pine "crate" wood,
and hang a few copper
pots and pans to add to the
country feeling.
For the heirloom-look,
what about an area rug
with stylized peasant mo-
tifs that is an authentic
design,,from a circa 16th
18th century $candinavian
"rollakan" or wall hang-
ing?
A rug from Ege Rya's
new 100% wool Heritage
Collection would be perfect.
Woven in Denmark, the
patterns are naive and
charming, filled with
whimsical ladies, stylized
birds, roosters, plants, flow-
ers, and animals. There is
even an 18th-century wed-
ding scene.
Reproductions are faith-
ful, including in many
such details as the date in
which the original was
woven and. the initials of
its maker, as well as all the
Charming little weaving
mistakes. And the color
combinations are just
right.
These stylized peasant
motif rugs enhance the
country atmosphere in any
room, and you'll almost be-
lieve your great-great
grandmother really did
leave you a 300-year-old
priceless possession!

IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE
iTreasurer Jim Moriock, RR 2, Credition, NOM 'IMO:
Does your family room
look like the high school
football squad used it for
a practice field? If so, it
could mean it's time to re-
decorate.
With the various styles
of contemporary furniture
and accessories available
today, you have many op-
tions when choosing fur-
nishings which are both
functional and attractive.
Basics for a family room
often include a couch, re-
cliner loUnge chair, one or
two stationary chairs, end
tables with lamps and,
perhaps, several small,
portable cube tables or a
coffee table.
Determine your family's
needs—you might want to
include a larger card table
with matching chairs,
bookshelves and cabinets,
too. V011 may find the lat-
ter items are especially
useful if your family roOm
doubles as a game room or
den.
Whatever pieces of fur-
niture and accessories you
'decide upon, remember
they'll need routine Main-
tenance to keep them look-
ing their best.
any styles are avail-
able in the new leather
look Vinyls and in laird-
hated'and translucent
plastics—good, durable
materials for family room
furnishings as they can be
easily cleaned
A family room is meant
to be Used, not just looked
at. By choosing furnish-
ings for it that are stylish,
functional and easy to
care for, you'll have cre-
ated a room the whole
family can enjoy.

Homeowners planning to

innovations in appliances,
especially power-saving
features and improved in-
