Good living in 1978 definitely means good times spent in and about the home. The new trend both for singles and families is a re- turn to the hearth for entertaining, relaxing, play- ing, creating and just plain enjoying all the privileges to be found in one's "own cas- tle." Consumer trends reveal that there's a market boom happening on the home front. People are investing more than ever in home furnishings and decorating accessories, convenience appliances of every sort, and home entertainment products de- signed to inform, amuse, beautify and individualize the home lifestyle. For example, "dining in" or having guests over for din- ner are no longer just routine affairs. The fine art of dining with true gourmet flair is probably one of the most popular .new interests of couples everywhere. This new "hobby" of gourmet home dining has given rise to an amazing new selection of "specialty" appliances that will help the homemaker to serve a meal for family and guests with exceptional grace and flair. Even the current recipe fa- vorites reflect this happy re- turn to the days of artful home living, turning yester- day's practical casseroles and easy -to -fix main dishes into delights that are as at- tractive to serve as they are delicious to eat. Budget -conscious cooks may still be preparing econ- omy meals, but they're add- ing that extra touch of parsley, seasoning or sauce to turn "Sloppy Joe's" into delightful "Dapper Dan's!" On the home decorating scene, there's never been a wider selection of lovely fur- niture, carpeting, wallcover- ing, accent pieces, art re- productions and new cre- ations for the homeowner to choose from in planning a true dream decor. Of special interest to to- day's home decorator are the many new "project kits" available, giving everyone a chance to put a little part of himself right into the home environment—whether it's in a custom-built floor under- foot, a crafted table at hand, or a painting looking down from the walls signed to cer- tify its owner's pride in the home domain! Good living quite naturally includes all the "extras," large. and small, which make the home as fun and entertaining as it can possibly be. With all the new advances made in home entertainment to soothe the senses— highest quality sound, per- fect picture selection and control, electronic games to stimulate—it's no wonder that people are finding more and more reasons to stay at home! Yes. 1978 is the best year yet for good living in every area, in every sense. And the best of all the new good life . has to offer is the fact that you don't have to wander far in search of its pleasures. They're right behind your own front door! Light and airy CHASE AWAY THOSE SHADOWS by creating a light and airy environment for your room. Dress up chairs with fresh, new coverings, paint all woodwork white, and heighten the space -making look further with a unique window treatment.
