STYLISH CABINETRY IS IN INCREASING demand to pro-
vide atmosphere along with functional. kitchen design. Standard
units here meet most budgets, while looking and lasting like
custom construction. Town. Classical Group by Del -Mar Mengel.

has 40 -watt fluorescent lamps, on top of the cabinets half way
back. Fluorescent lamps are mounted along wall cabinets and
above sink, two 15 -watt lamps above counters, and two 40 -watt
appliance lamps in the range hood. Four downlights illuminate

New Lighting Improves Kitchen Look
It's a pretty safe bet that over-all lighting.
kitchen lighting needs updating
--and this one change ganmake

kitchen, it's needed on counter

akingTrudge out of Laundry
Appliance manufacturers
have taken the drudge out of
doing the laundry --t it's up
to homemakers to get rid of the
trudge.
The best way,to do that is to
get those time -and -work -saving
:automatic appliances up out of
q . the basement, to save walking.
In most homes, being built to -
:day; some provision is made
for installing a washer and dry-
er on the main floor --usually
near the kitchen.
Some imaginative architects
actually plan workable laundry
areas with storage and counter
space, often in the bedroom -
bath area where most of the
soiled laundry originates.
What about the olde home,
where it's hard to find s ace for
-both a washer and, -a :drver. in ° a •-
location that's srulyconvenient?
One answer to the problem
could be a portable clothes dry-
er that hangs on a wall, sits on
or under a counter, or can be
rolled into a closet when not •in
use.
About the size of an end ta-
ble' and weighing only 77pounds,/
such a dryer operates when plug-
ged into any adequately wired
115- t outlet. It requires no
special . ing and no ,installa-
don, and fits readily in small
areas, where a standard -size
dryer won't go.
For roll -away convenience,

the homemaker who needs a
new washer, and doesn't have a

The washer -dryer requires
only. 30 inches of. space and

space for a laundry develops
when kitchen remodeling pro-
jects are under way. Expansion
plans can provide for a home
laundry along one wall of the

HAVE YOU ORDERED YOUR
LENNOX AIR CONDITIONER YET?
The same blower and piping system that is used to supply
Mat in the winter can .be used to supply cooling in the
summer. A cooling coil is simply inserted in the duct
system and connected to a condensing unit outdoors. The
L.annox condensing unit has ,been designed for quietness
and efficiency. Exclusive Lennox design allows the Unit
to be installed flush in a wall. For .each oil furnace,
Lennox has • a matching tooling section. It is better to
install air conditioning with your furnace, but it can al-
ways be added at a later date with little effort.

Asurface-mounted fixture,
equipped with a totally -enclos-
ed dish or globe of diffusing ma-
terial, is the simplest method
of ceiling lighting. Make sure
the unit has a diameter of at
least 12 inches, so the 150 watts
of light needed in it will hot
make the fixture overly bright
to the eye. ' .
At the other extreme is the

plan, with a group of 40 -watt
fluorescent tubes mounted con

and considerably less eiperfive,
--to install a luminous ceiling
in just one section of the room,
in lieu of a surface -mounted
fixture.
To light countertops, mount
a single row of fluorescent tubes
under the wall cabinets, either
concealed behind the "lip" -of
the cabinet or equipped with
shielding trim.
At the sink, a double row of
fluorescents is needed, because
the light has to travel a'greater
distance to reach the work area.
An alternative plan is to sur-
facemount two 75 -Watt reflec-.
tor floodlamps at ceiling level`
or recess them in the ceiling it-
self. This avoids the shadows
created by a single downlight.

Heating First Cuts
Remodeling Cost
• If heating modernization
plans• are made at the outset of
a home improvement project,
the homeowner can probably •
save,not only on the heating,
but on the over-all remodeling
job.
That's because many remod-
eling. jobs require heating work
of some kind, and it is often
easier to do it before o t h e r
changes.
Homes with hot water heat-
ing systems are well-suited for
remodeling projects and the old
steam -heated Colonial or Tudor
style house 'can be readily and
inexpensively updated.
The following heating check-
list suggests some of the possi-
bilities. .
Install baseboard heating units,
What about that old-fashioned
radiator? Simply replace it with
wall -hugging, baseboard units.
They provide Just as much
warmth and comfort but don't
interfere with wall-to-wall car-
peting, furniture or draperies.
A few minor piping changes
may be all that is necessary to
install these units.
Convert to forced circulation.
Gravity hot water and two -pipe
steam heating systems often can
be converted to forced circula-
tion hot water heating. This
means faster response, with a
thermgstat calling for heat auto -
inimically. and more even heat-
ing throughout the house,
escent tube mounted in a brack-
et on. the wall or on soffit or •
ceiling.
If the kitchen includes aplan-
ning desk or dining area, try
modern pull-down fixtures to
highlight these specific spots and
add interesting decorative ac-
cents to the room. •,
For the conversion, some
new,piping at the boiler, a cir-
culator and a few accessories
are installed.
Install a new boiler. A mod-
ern. compact boiler can save
space and give new life to the
heating system. Although to-
day's boiler is often smaller than
many home clothes washer, .it
can eat'a house that one need-
ed a large, cumbersome h ting
plant. And it doesn't have to
be in' the basement. Boiler s
can be installed in . a carport,
closet, attic, outdoor • tool house
or even the backyard.
1 A hydronic (hot water) heat-
ing system offers a choice of
fuels: Boiler can be powered
by gas, oil, electricity or coal.
Heat the garage. Installing
heat in the garage can be a
simple operation tithe house,
has a hydropic heating system.
Hidden finger -size piping
can be extended into the gar*
age from the basic system, to
create a mud corm, workshop,
play area and cleaning room
all in one location.
. Heat the add-on rooms. Be-
cause the hot water for heating
is cirried by finger -size piping,
it Is comparatively easy to .
snake these pipes into add-on
rooms without maim carpentry.
When .a piece of property
has been cleaned up, .it tends
to retnaid litter free, and it sets
a good example that is likely
to be followed by the neighbors.
,One good example can mush-
room.into a community trend.
