' To emphasize thistrend in
kitchens, many interesting
decors can be planned to cora-
gement the furnishings and
appliances. Paneling in a wide
range of colors and patterns
makes. it •e sy to create a dis-
tirict'i`t°e and practical decor.
Woodgrain paneling is espec-
ially popular because it can be
use_Un modern treatments or
to accent an Early American or.
C'olontaF theme, Ideal for kit-
chens where heat and mois-
ture are „a, problem are some of
the hardboard materials that
are currently available and can
be- damp -wiped clean. Like the
baked surface of a range or re-
frigerator, surfaces of these ma-
terials resist dirt, grease and
stains.
Handsome; woodgrain -panel-
ing is an etective background
for almost any type of decor,
and its warns tones help create
,an informal atmosphere. Ran-
dom -width grooves that are
available in the planking can
be used over studs in new con-
struction, or furring strips in
remodeling, to give a distinc-
tive vertical line treatment.
Hardboards for counter tops
are available in a wide range
of colors and patterns, making
it easy to plan an eye-catching
decor.
Just a minimum of work and
effort can change the appear-
ance of any kitchen. However,
a complete renovation is nec-
essary to develop that new, all-
purpose appearance. Whatever
the .choice, there are- plenty of
skilled tradesmen available- if
the project's undertaken now.
Extra Space Is
Made Possible By
Home Alterations
Almost every family, on Inc-.casion, has unexpected visitor
drop in on them. It may be an
old school chum who, with his
wife, plan to visit for a couple
of days, or mother and dad who
have 'dropped in for the week-
end.
When they do, isn't it nice to
be able to say, "Why not stay
with us?"
Unfortunately, there are fam-
ilies who are unable to do this
simply because of the lack of
house space. To issue such an
invitation,. under ,any and a ,
circumstances, requires' mo
than just a warm feeling of
hospitality. It needs. also a
well, -:appointed guest room.
The most- essential-- factor in
planning a guest room can per-
haps be summed up in one
word—"privacy"- It should be
a room to which guests can go
and feel that they are complete-
ly on their own, where they
'need >rrot be an intrusion on
the family( - .
There- are many things a fam-
ily can.,d i in their hone to pro-
vide such a guest room that is,
besides "doing it now", there-
by creating' additional winter
employment. • ,
The guest room, of course,
can be fitted out in varying de-
grees depending upon circum-
stances. Perhaps the simplest
step that can be taken, and cer-
tainly one that' should not en-
tail too much expense, is the
installation of 'a'wash basin in
the guest room.
In some instances, • it might
be -desirable to have the basin
.-put into the bedroom cupboard,
and in. the past, this has, in
fact, been a popular solution.
But that cuts down on clothes
Hanging space, and today it is
considered more practical to
make the `wash basin part and
parcel of the furnishings of the
room. This has been mtde eas-
ier by the introduetion in re-
cent years of a wash basin built
into a counter top, on which all
the adcessories of the toilet can.
he placed, ;
With a mirror on the wall,
the fixture becomes- a Combina-
tion of a wash basin and vanity -
and because of its beauty of
.both design and color, it adds
to rather than extracts from the
appearance bf the rotom. A.--
Even
''Even more desirable, if space
permits, is 9 complete powder
room, or half=bathroom, with
both wash basin and toilet. This
requires a self-contained space,
of course, but even a fair-sized
cupboard is sufficient to house
it. An area no bigger than five -
by -three -feet can be made to
do, and many, bedroom. cup-
boards, particularly in older
houses, are sufficiently big.
Sometimes it is more' practi-
cal, and often more useful from,,
the family's point of vieen. to
build the guest bathroom not
in, but adjacent to, the guest
room. Space may suggest itself
in a hall ci!ipboard, or even the
end of the hall itself will af•
-ford space for a small bath-
room.
