SemEMENT TO THE McHENRY PLAINDEA1ER PAGE 4 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11.1977 A gift for two Charming new decorating for the dime store budget The most attractive ways to decorate do not always depend on what you pay. To prove that imagination is more important than money, designer Shirley Regendah! created a highly functional dining room filled with im­ mense amounts of comfort­ able, cheery furnishings-- and a bill that was less than $800! The sturdy, well-made wood furniture in the Coun­ try Pine finish was budget- priced for a start, and then everything else--from the fabric on the walls to the dishes in the buffet--were found in dime stores.

Comfortable chairs were about $50 each and the commodious buffet hutch was $340, for a total of $645 for the furniture. With the $150that was left, here's how the room was fur­ nished: Walls--10 yards of blue- and-white bandana fabric at $1.99 a yard, stapled to the wall. Windows -- II yards of white fabric at $1.09 a yard, edged with 10 yards of ball fringe at 30 cents a yard. Floor--a do-it-yourself stencil painted on a solid color border, either with a stencil kit or from a stencil you can cut yourself. Cover the paint with a protective coating. Lamp--a $ 10.98 shade was made into a hanging lamp with a socket and cord that runs through a large cup hook in the ceiling, and then down to the nearest electrical out­ let. Charming bird prints with gay red mats were found in the dime store. So were tradi­ tional china and flatware pat­ terns as well as the stemware and glass accessories. Hanging baskets and col­ orful fruit add the finishing "country" touches. The furniture's rich hand- rubbed finish and the deeply-carved details on the buffet and hutch helped add dignity as well as conve­ nience to a deceptively budget-conscious room. 7 DAYS Vmi of A VIMS C0UP0H~l~i GOOD FOR ClFJlS Y 0 U R a£MlNG 0Rd Others S COUPON Furs) TIME nt RENTED 0f ORDER 1207 N.
