An .old-fashioned
sun porch up -dates
home for one family
There's something to be
said for the good old days,
even when you're modern-
izing.
One family, for example,
decided to update its home
by adding an old-fashioned
sun porch. The decision
wasn't based on nostalgia,
but on the need for a bright,
sunny room with multiple
year-round uses.
First step was tb find the
right place for expansiop.
The answer lay right around
the corner - of the dining
room. An L-shaped con-
crete block foundation was
laid adjoining the dining
area. It added 150 square
feet of space to the house.
Next came creation of an
attractively - updated ver-
sion of a sun parlor. Here,
a series of large, sliding,
wood sash windows gave
just the right effect. Eight
6 -foot -high stock units of
ponderosa pine were used
to surround the newly -
formed "ell."
The window choice was
based on a number or pr'ac-
tical reasons. The wide ex-
panse of sliding windows
provides maximum sunlight,
views and excellent ventila-
tion. The natural insulation
of wood sash, combined with
insulating glass and tight
weatherstripping, cut heat
loss and help keep the room
comfortable in all seasons.
,,Use of insulating glass also
eliminates the need for
bothersome storm sash.
Existing windows in the
original exterior wall were
replaced with a double door
entrance to the new' addi-
tion. Finally, a new pitched
roof was designed to tie in
with the existing roof.
Finishing- touches were
added inside. Walls feature
vertical moulding strips, and
the floor is "done" in mat-
ting squares. The total im-
pression is soft, natural and
sunny.
Closed against the winter
cold, or open to fresh air
and sunshine, the new porch
is used for dining, enter- '
taining, reading, studying,
and watching TV. Not such
an old-fashioned Idea
after all.
Creating a game room, den or recreation area calla "fore" a flooring that is practical and
unique. This deep -pile green grass look-alike carpet is called "Sunnyside Up," from Ozite.

Baffled as to how to light your,finished.basement? Most decorators recommend track lighting
for low-ceilinged rooms. that need to be Well !it. In this family room picturedhere, these
small fixtures by Progress Lighting are mounted on tracks on the ceiling in much the same
way curtains are mounted on traverse rods. The lights themselves can be run along the
track and swiveled around to highlight a game table or a dart board on the wall. What's more,
track lights are now available in mini sizes — that is, 31/" in diameter as opposed to the
usual 7" size often seen in art museums and stores.
