How to
stretch space
Q. My husband and I re-
cently bought a second
home to use for short vaca-
tions and weekend trips.
The house basically has
one medium-size main
room which I want to serve
as living room, dining
room and kitchen (with the
kitchen along one wall),
one bedroom ani one bath-
room.
Because it is small, I
have to make each inch
count. Please give as some
suggestions an bow to -plan.
Just the two of as will be
using the hoose — although
we will bring home work
with us at times. I'd like to
keep upkeep at a mini-
mam. — R.B.
A. It is entirely possible
to create a compact yet
workable kitchen along one
wall — lining up an apart-
ment -size stove and refrig-
erator with sink and
dishwasher, if you desire.
Also, don't forget to plan
for shelves and/or cabinets
for storage.
I've seen similar kitch-
ens created which have
foldable doors that can be
pulled across to close off
the kitchen when not in
service.
Undoubtedly you'll want
furnishings for seating and
perhaps lounging as well
as dining.
You can make the most
of limited floor space by
bringing furniture out
away from the walls. For
example, place a small
sofa out in the room and
back it with a rectangular
dining table. Add two arm-
less chairs to the table for
use as a work space and
mini -office. Use two dining
chairs with arms as either
occasional chairs to com-
bine with your sofa for
seating or for use at the
table for dining
A set of etageres along
one wall could house a tele-
vision set, stereo and ac-
cessories.
For windows and floor,
make life simple. Use an
easy -care vinyl or tile for
the floor and wooden
louvers or woven blinds at
the windows.
Q We recently moved
into an apartmat and I al-
ready have spat my entire
budget on a sofa, tables
and a chair..
I guess I didn't plan very
well benne I still need
something at the windows.
Please give me an at-
tractive, temporary sole -
tion for covering my living
room windows. — M.C.
A. Why don't you buy
some sheet material or
light cotton remnant at a
discount house and iron the
fabric onto the window
shades? This can give you a
very attractive look.
Extra fabric could be
used on throw pillows for
your sofa or large futons
for floor sitting.
Q.Wehave whathas to
be the ugliest the in osrr
bathroom — turquoise
green and orchid.
I can't do anything about
the tile around the bathtub
'bat I woald like to elimi-
nate one solid wall of the
tile. I really can't bring
myself to remove ft be-
cause I think I would just
farther botch throngs up.
What can I do? — Y.M.
A. Why don't you shirr
some interesting fabric on
a long curtain rod the
length of the wall and
created. Backing the sofa with a rectangular table
allows for a dining space which can also function as a
workspace for office chores. Furnishings are by
Chromcraft.
cover the wall from floor
to ceiling — attaching a
rod both at the floor and
ceiling level? You can do
this easily enough by turn-
ing down the fabric and
stitching a small hem
through which you can in-
sert a curtain rod.
Repeat the fabric pat-
tern at your window, if you
have one, and even for a
shower curtain, protecting
the fabric with a plastic
liner.
Choose your fabric care-
fully to complement the
tiler a pretty floral or geo-
metric with tiny touches of
turquoise and orchid would
give a coordinated look.
Did
You
Know
By PHYLLIS WEAVER
Did you know that in the
mid -19th century, a French
physicist mathematically
describedhow the kitchen
sink drains?
Gaspard Coriolis was re-
ally explaining how the
world turns, and it turns in
what we now call "Coriolis
effect."
Simply explained, Coriolis
effect is at work when the
water drains from the sink:
It always drains to the right
in the Northern Hemi-
sphere. In Australia, sinks
drain to the left. But in
Ecuador, they drain without
spinning at all.
If you take off from Seat-
tle
eattle in a jet bound for New
York City, with no wind and
no course changes, you will
end up in South America. In
the military, long-range
gunners must account for
Coriolis drift by compensat-
ing and adjusting their aim.
One of the most important
consequences of Coriolis ef-
fect is our weather patterns.
Yf winds were not deflected,
we would hav no pressure
(high or low gradients) and
thus have a climate such as
at the equator. Objects
move in a straight course,
it's only the earth that turn&
