Child-proof carpets
for beautiful dining
Most mothers of young-
sters know that the old
phrase, ''you can't have your
cake and eat it, too, doesn't
hold true with young chil-
dren. The crumbs, at least,
are left liberally sprinkled
around the floor as they de-
vour• their favorite snack
foods. This needn't be a
problem, though, even for
the mother who has alivays
yearned for beautiful, soft
carpeting in her dining areas.

Few people who have lived
in houses all their lives are
aware of the storage prob-
lems faced by apartment-
dwellers. The •average
apartment is short on closets,
and those they have are often
small and cramped.
It's all too easy in an
apartment to let things co-
agulate "out of the way,"
which avoids the problem,
without solving it. The trick .
is to learn.to adapt yourself to
your living space, and make
the most of what you've got.
In the kitchen, hang your
frequently used tools on the
walls, with an eye to both
practicality and design. You
might want to consider in-
vesting in a rolling cart with
several shelves to hold a wide
variety of items.
In other rooms, choose
furniture •that can serve more
than one function whenever
possible. A chest, of wicker
or wood, can be used to store
towels and abed linens, and
works beautifully as a coffee
table. •
In a small apartment,
bookshelves can, be used as
room dividers, and if you are
a bibliophile, you can double
your shelf space by lining the
shelves with books in two
rows, library fashion.
