Modernizing Projects Get a Lift From Latest Trends in Design For families with kitchen remodeling on their minds, the latest trends in kitchen design and furnishings offer wide scope. So reports the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Information Bureau, which points out these trends: 1. Kitchens are bigger. They're enjoying a comeback as a family gathering place for both meals and general relaxation. Some are combined kitchcn-family rooms. 2. There's more color -- not only in wall and floor coverings, but in cabinets, appliances and sinks. A colorful sink often serves as the accent point for the entire room. 3. Sinks make news. Two and even three-bowl models are becoming increasingly popular, and they come equipped with single-handle faucets, good lighting and spray attachments on a flexible steel hose. 4. Garbage disposers and automatic dishwashers gain. They're rapidly becoming standard equipment in the kitchen, and are specially favored by working women and those with large families. 5. "Small appliances" haw more scope. Now appearing in more and more kitchcn arc such "appliances" as automatic dispensers for ice water and hot water, bubbler fountains, plumbed-in coffeemakers and built-in liquid soap and lotion dispensers. 6. There are more cabinets. Kitchen cabinets that stop short of floor or ceiling, thereby wasting space, give way to cabincts that may be "hard to reach" but are right for storing seldom-used items. 7. Counters are "customized." They're designed to suit the height of the woman who will use them, rather than the "average" woman. 8. There's more light -- and also better ventilation for eliminating cooking smoke and odors. 9. Color-coordinated telephones gain. They're now being installed in more kitchens. 10. "Homemaker's nook" is a favorite. Many new kitchensprovide the homemaker with a "private den" for dealing with everything from recipes to household bills. 11. Efficiency is an island. Such basic kitchen layouts as the U, the L, the one-wall and the two-wall corridor type are getting competition from a new design -- the work center "island," located in the middle of the room. This includes the sink, dishwasher, food waste disposer and counter space. Range, refrigerator and work counters are located on the sink side, and dining area on the other. ^ Cabinets over the sink open both front and back. Thus, dishes can be stored from the sink side as they're washed, and the table can be laid for eating and cleared afterwards from the dining area side of the work-center island. <d> YOU1?

Overhead Areas Solve Problem Need more storage space In the home? Put dust-collecting, unattractive overhead areas to work. Wide-open spaces that can be prettied up and made functional range from neglected places such as tops of kitchen cabinets, or high-up areas in closets, to an unfinished attic. Higher reaches of the kitchen are notorious for' space waste. Often, the wall cabinets have dust-catching tops. These areas can be easily built up to the ceiling by adding a framework and enclosing it with sides and sliding doors of woodgrained hardboard. The increased cabinet space is practical for storing seldomused utensils. Put high-up areas in clothes closets to work by installing perforated panels, now available in woodgrained walnut finishes, over framing. Store boxes and other items on shelves placed on brackets that fit the perforations. An unfinished attic offers many possibilities, from organized storage to extra room. A free plan, AE-408, "Remodeled Attic," is available to all who request it on a postcard mailed to Home Service Bureau, Box B, Chicago, 111. 60690. When working with power tools, make sure they are properly grounded to avoid the possibility of shock. ~~ INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL Your Local Contractor LLOYD WAGNER FREE ESTIMATES DEPENDABLE WORKMANSHIP Call Today!
