Living room spar.
by new plywood wa]
A small, dark living room was
changed into a lighter, airy space
by one couple with jgdicious, use
of do-it-yourself wood paneling
combined with utilization, of
existing molding. Friends now
call to see and admire their living
room which invites family use.
The living room of the older
home had a plaster -covered ceil-
ing with picture. molding of Hon-
duras' mahogany at the base of
the cove. Walls were plain plaster
and an earlier owner had at-
tempted to dress up the room by
installing paneling on one wall,
around the fireplace. Unfort-
unately, his choice was a dark
cherry, which served to darken
the somber area rather than help
lighten it.
Final decision was to panel the
entire room, removing the old,
dark woodand using a light,
factory finished plywood with a
dark..decorator stripe. •

Final choice was •Georgia-
Pacific's'"inlaid" in; a pecan with
a walnut strip separating wide
planks as part of the factory
finishing of 4 x .8 -foot panels,
The pecan - face provided a
much lighter wall surfaee end
the walnut inlay proved to be-
almost a perfect .match . for the
existing molding. ,As, a result, the
molding was retained, and the
new paneling cut to.fit.
Removal of the old quarter -
inch decorative paneling proved
surprisingly easy., It had been
nailed onto .the wall and the
homeownerswere able to remove
it panel by panel
This also provided' a plus `in '
installation of the -new paneling.
The fireplace bad no mante', but
did have a patterned inlay of
stone in the surrounding wall.
Careful removal . of the old,
plywood enabled it to be used as a
template t to insure that the new
inlaid paneling made a, perfect fit
when placed around the
fireplace,:
Thepilaster wall was in good
condition, straight with. no
cheCking or 'flaking, " so it was
decided to use adhesive to fasten
the new hardwood directly to the
plaster without using

receive decorative attention.
Why? • .
Because they come on as
lusterless, dank, dark places
where odd jobs are done. Nobody
likes going down into them,
because they are without win-
dows and house the furnace.
With a few moderately -priced
items such as resilient carpeting,
sunny wall -covering and a, couple
of pieces of furniture, you can see
your basement escape from the
dark.
When remodeling your
basement why not turn it into a
cozy gardep room with all the
sunshine and warmth built in-
side?
Theme shown was designed to
withstand long wintery days. A
moisture resistant carpeting,
with the distinctive needlepoint
look, reminiscent of 1776, comes
in welcoming colors such as
Goldenrod, Copper Kettle and
Tortoise Shell.
The Jade green used here for
an outdoors feeling, com-
plements topiary scenic wall–
covering. The light and airy floor
to ceiling screens boast the
companion pattern of the trees in
yellow and palest green backed
by white.
Consult the family for any
addition they might like since this
is a room for them. They know
that interesting use can always
be made of plants and flowers.
The rattan furniture adds to the
ambience of outdoor living.
Extra visual interest is achieved
with the bold patterning of the
matching floral cushions on the
chair and couch.
Country style
furniture popular
Canadiana designs and country
styling are much in evidence in
home furnishings, partictilary in
bedroom and dining furniture.
Beds with decorated head and
foot -board, old-fashioned mir-
rors, unique wardrobe° -dressers,
and other pieces contribute to the
country look in a bedroom.
Such furniture is offered in
plinth or sculptured bases and
with brass pulls accenting the
antique finishes.
Many decorators prefer more
than furniture to give a home
country -style flavor. Genuine
antiques, weathered -looking
reproductions and old firearms
lend a hand toward giving a room
, or house that rustic Canadian
look.
•
A garden room can be created in the basement of the house so
that .the ambience of summer can be enjoyed on even the
coldest winter days. By combining scenic wallcoverings,
rattan furniture and a carpeting in shades of green, - an out-
doors feeling is brought inside regardless of the lack of win-
dows. To enhance the handcrafted needlepoint texture of the
carpet, choose a topiary scenic. On the tall screens appears the
companion pattern, all in yellow and pale green on a white
ground.
