Consider some unsuspected places in your heme. A basement is often an easy answer, but an under­ utilized room or a combi­ nation of two or more small rooms may be an­ other better solution. One couple turned a din- ing-room where they rare­ ly dined and an adjoining partially-enclosed porch into a constant use family room on a relatively small investment. Some basic, but not very extensive, re­ modeling and some re­ markably flexible, and not very expensive, furniture did the trick. The remodeling con­ sisted of taking down a part of a wall separating the two areas and enclos­ ing the open part of the porch. Paneling smoothed out the differences in sur­ faces and unified the two areas. For furnishings, the cou­ ple selected James David's sleek contemporary chrome-framed furniture which was easy on their budget.

The sofa is a series of modular units that are locked together in the base, but can be separated to create other furniture arrangements here or else­ where. The furniture is simple to assemble. Only a screw­ driver is required to put it together, and each piece comes with an easy-to- fol­ low diagram for those who are hesitant about getting all the pieces of the puzzle to fit. Once together, It's al­ most impossible to detect that it wasn't factory as­ sembled. Happily, it can also be unassembled should the need arise to move it, or store it, or whatever. 1554 John Deere 300 TRACTOR Tractor . *2695 48" Mower >375 300 Tractor w/Mowtr '3070 SALE MHJ3 PRICE 2103 RTE.120 Another added asset for consumers, all the parts are replaceable directly from the manufacturer.
