Kitchen triangle works wonders for saving steps A most reliable check for a kitchen plan is what is called the work triangle. Measure the distance from the front edge of your sink to the front of the range, the range to the re­ frigerator, and the refriger­ ator to the sink. This path across the floor should not be less than 4 feet nor more than 7 feet with the excep­ tion of the path from the refrigerator to the range, which could be 8 or 9 feet. Those who bear in mind the work triangle when planning a new kitchen will have a beautifully planned kitchen. When hanging wallpaper be sure to keep a record of the exact number of rolls used. Forty-three million Amer­ icans live in homes 10 years old or older, which accounts for the present and contin­ ued growth of the remodel­ ing market. The American Institute of Kitchen Dealers has es­ timated that 2.44 million kitchens are being re­ modeled annually. The aver­ age price of a remodeled kitchen is from $3,500 to $5,000. When a tight-money sit­ uation resulted in a decline in housing starts, remodeled kitchens continued to in­ crease, AIKD statistics in­ dicate. A survey by TIME maga­ zine, in conjunction with the AIKD, tells why families remodel their kitchens: • 59 per cent want new styling • 56 per cent want up- to-date equipment and new features • • 36 per cent have appli­ ances that need replacing • 17 per cent moved to another home • 10 per cent noted other miscellaneous reasons (The total exceeds 100 per cent because many re­ spondents noted more than one reason). Another survey of Ameri­ can homemakers indicated appearance and the self- cleaning oven were ranked first and second in priority by persons buying new ranges. This explains why in kitchen remodeling and in new housing starts, kitchen designers and builders have begun to show a preference for mixing kitchen elegance with practicality. One indicator of this is the use of smoothtop cook­ ing appliances, as standard features in many new kitchens, according to Corn­ ing Glass Works, the orig­ inator of the smoothtop concept. The large number of op­ tions available with smooth- top cooking appliances -- built-in cooktops and both slip-in and free-standing ranges -- combined with built-in wall ovens, makes them a natural in kitchen design. The built-in cooktops are available in both two and four-element units, ideal for virtually any kitchen counter or cooking island installation. Being a flat, smooth sheet of glass-ceramic, these cook­ tops double as additional counterspace when not be­ ing used for cooking and add to the "clean appear­ ance" of the kitchen. Corning reports the use of smoothtops in a number of kitchens in large-scale projects from coast to coast -- condominiums,® apart­ ments, and housing develop­ ments. Some of these are: • Pinehurst Estates, town- house condominiums adja­ cent to Pinehurst Country Club, in Denver. • Costa Brava, prestige condominium, in Miami. • Ashborough, a commu­ nity of distinguished homes, being built in Dorchester County, S.C. • Golden Heritage Homes, Phoenix. • Regency Apartments, Naples, Fla. 31 Reasons Why We Are ,YourOne-Stop Shopping Area For Garden Needs • annuals • bark • bird baths • containers • decora­ tive boulders • edging • evergreens • fertilizers • flowering trees • fountains • fruit trees • garden hose ^geraniums •grass seed • ground covers •in­ secticides • Mexican pottery • night lighting •ori­ ental lanterns *peat moss • perennials • potting soil •roses *sedum • shade trees • shrubs •sprink­ lers • statuary • stone chips "trellis • vegetable plants. . .
