The 2* x 2' panels of this Armstrong sus­ pended ceiling descend slightly below the supporting grid for a bold-relief effect., Stylish ceiling lets diners enjoy pheasant under class! There's something sociable about an eat-in kitchen--the food preparation area within sight, sound and smell of the partakers. Spurned in recent years for smaller cooking-only kitchens, this arrangement is regaining popularity. Not the least among the reasons is a"back to basics" nostalgia: the lineage of the eat- in kitchen embraces the settlers' one-room cabin and the all-pur­ pose farm kitchen of our rural past. This layout does present a decorating challenge, however. The cooking and consuming sections of the large space have to be kept in harmony. Furnish­ ings and appliances shouldn't clash in style or color, any more than a souffll should be served with sauerkraut. A recipe for creating a natural soup-to-salad flow between the adjoining areas is to unite them with a striking common ceiling. What interior designers call a "tegular" ceiling is one of the most effective types for this pur­ pose. It's a member of the sus­ pended ceiling family: a metal grid is hung from the old ceiling and panels are inserted in it. What sets the tegular variety apart is that the panels aren't flush with the grid but descend an inch or so below it for a bold- relief effect. It accents the ceil­ ing as dramatically as sweet- and-sour sauce does pork. Armstrong makes a tegular ceiling called Bravada, with 2'x 2' panels that look like rough- textured plaster but are actually lightweight mineral fiber. It's an ideal ceiling for a cooking-cum-dining area. The acoustical panels help quell the cacaphony of pots and pans so it won t spoil appetite-whetting conversation. The panels are also fire retardant--an important safe­ guard in a room with a range. And should the chef get too flamboyant working with the wok, causing grease to spit sky­ ward, the panels can be washed with a sponge soaked in warm water and mild detergent.

Although compact, this desk's size is deceiving. With nearly seven cubic feet of work area on top, plus storage be­ neath, it can make homework much easier than it was on the kitchen table. Is it hard to build? Not at all. Just one sheet of plywood, nails, glue and trim are the only materials you'll need. First, cut your pre-measured pieces from the plywood panel as shown in the diagram. Next, glue and nail the matching end pieces (A) together to form the double-thickness side walls. Then, allowing enough to mi­ ter the corners, cut the I Vi * half-round trim pieces to fit the A section dimensions. Now, glue and nail the half round trim to the face of the table top (B) and, if desired, cover the top piece with vinyl. Then glue and nail the half- rounds to sections C and D as shown and assemble the re­ mainder of the sections. Fill any gaps with wood filler, sand where needed, and paint. Or finish with a matching paneling applied to the sides for a built-in look. With this desk your kids will have no excuse for unfinished homework!
