Mc Henry, III. 815-385-4224 Open Monday Thru Friday 8 • 6 Saturday 8 5, Closed Sunday prove that imagination is more important than money, designer Shirley Regendahl 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. It all began with SK Prod­ ucts' oval table that expands to 60 inches and costs only $105. Comfortable chairs were about $50 each and the commodious buffet hutch was $340. for a total of $645 for the furniture. With the $150 that 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- r u b b e d f i n i s h a n d t h e deeply-carved details on the buffet and hutch helped add dignity as well as conve­ n i e n c e t o a d e c e p t i v e l y budget-conscious room.
