SIMPLICÎITY IS THE KEY TO INTERIORS TODAY. They use few furnishings, functional and good-looking, spiced with color and texture. Take a converted attic with no natural light and make it cheerful, bright and usable in a dozen ways by building arouind a modular group and adding texture. Each of the pieces, corner unit, ottoman or armless chair can be placed in whatever order desired. A special asset is the Hide-A-Bed sofa section which opens up into a queen-size beu; the family ro-om becomnes an instant guest room. Just as importantly, the mobility of the pieces is ideal for varying groups or uses. With four corner sections, one makes a popular "p'[it". Covered in grass green, the suggestion of the out-of-doors is heigtened by ceiling panels which combine green with sky blue stripes. A woodsy note isthe natural oak table and bentwood chairs. I's all unified by a solid white background. The success of the room is testimony to the fact that one is totally unaware of the Iack of windows. (Charade modular group by Simmons) Elegant-Looking Windows Need Not be Expensive Custom made is often elegant. It's also expensive, in clothes, automobiles and homes. With replacement windows however, there's a way to get the custom look wîthout straining the fam-ily budget. Modemn wood windows, whijjch are manufactured in a variety of stock sizes and styles, cani add a touch of class to an entire home. The warm, rich grain of wood gives windows natural detail. Good, design and factory engineering do the rest. Quality wood windows have factory-applied weatherstripping to ensure against heat-robbing air infiltration. Combined with the natural insulation of wood sash 1and insulating glass two panes of glass with an insulation air space between - up-to-date wýood -windows effectively guard against heat loss through the glass areas and ag-ainst condensation. Well-built wood window,,s comne in a range of styles and sizes to meet just about any design requiremrent. Unusual window treatments add visual interest to a home, HI-omeowners thinking about replacing old, drafty windows with modern wood windows should consider the varous styles. Sliding windows or patio doors, for example, have a trim look that suits modemn architec- ture, 'yet provide good ventilation and excellent visibility. Used in series, they have the effect of opening up an entire wàll.- Bow windows, which curve outward, and bay windows, which are straight in the center and angled at each end, are graceful and distinctive. They are especially effective with Colonial or Georgian architecture, but are becomikng popular in contemporary homes. The wide variety of stock quality wood winddws are availableý to provide the homeowner with nearly unimnited choices in his selection of replacement windows. A TOO NARROW WINDOW a be a decorating problem, especially if if's the only window n the roomn.Turn debit into asset by extending draperies beyond window on each side, adding va lance. Tips on Remnodeling That Kitchen: The most important aspect of a kitchen remnodel- ing plan is the work flow. A cook walks miles in the kitchen,' so a step-saving layout is important. The ideal plan places the three main areas- storage, cook ing-serving and cleanup -- at the points of a triange The distance between the points should be as short as 1possible, while still allowing adequate work and storage space at each station.1-, A Man's Castie - Is His Home!
