Wood Panels Ilre Ideal For Improvements

Decorators emphasize the “de- sign p-oten't.ial” of wood paneling——— the opportunity it provides to match and combine with built-ins and other architectural woodwork in the room, and to color-blend with floors, furniture, upholstery and drapes.

Also, wood gives permanent de- coration with low maintenance, and has high insulation and acou- stical values.

While its basic aptpeal lies in the beauty of gain an-d texture of true wood, it has a practical appeal almost irresistible to home makers. It survives the kind of abuse that would require com- plete redecoration for most other materials. For this reason, it is favored for children’s rooms and recreation rooms.

More species are used for pain- eling today than ever before.

Among the hardwoods cornimon- ly used are oak, cherry, walnut, -pecan, gum, yellow poplar, birch, mahogany, other tropical hard-

woods as well as many practical soﬁtwoods. Architects and decorators are

imagination. Even an Amateur] decorator is fairly safe in trying; out novelty paneling ideas be—l cause it is almost impossible to‘ “go wrong" on room effects with a material of natural beauty like wood.

One modern application is use of the same wood on both the-. outside and inside of the house.‘ This utilization of house siding as paneling is effective for a fire- place wall or when exterior and interior are linked with a window wall.

Another trend is use of nar- row vertical paneling to make small rooms look larger. Still an- other is the use of hardwood flooring for wall paneling.

There are often bargains in short lengths and random widths of lumber that an enterprising home planter can put to work for interesting and attractive wall eﬂfeots.

Garden Spot Can Fit Well On Small ‘Lot

You can't keep a good gar- dener down, even though she’s operating from a crowded city lot. For with luscious fresh vege- tables -and delightful flowers in view, the incentive to plant seeds and watch them grow is too

using paneling with increasing

But. there are several points‘ to keep in mind to insure the success of a garden. When sow- ing seeds, the size of the seeds generally de‘tei'mines the depth to which they're planted.

Small seeds are barely covered while larger seeds are planted at a depth of about four times their diameter. llf too thinly sown, the hazards of garden life may cause vacant spaces in a row while if sown too thickly, there’ll be the chore of thinning the seed- lings out later on. So follow the instructions on the back of the seed packets when sowing seeds and you can’t go wrong. « Seeds should be sown when the soil is only slightly wet. llf the soil is too damp, it may pack and form a crust which the seed- lings can't break through. After the seeds are covered with soil, firm down by pressing with the back of the hoe or by treading lightly over the ground,

The sun, the soil, and a good watering once a week will do the rest. Then wait for the harvest.

Before planning bathrooms for a modernization job, family needs should be taken into considera- tion. A family of more than three people needs and deserves the comfort and convenience of at. least two complete bathrooms. If’ space is limited, the homeowner may install two lavatories in the bathroom or a lavatory-dressing table in 1 bedroom.

llf possible, children should have a bathroom immediately ad- jacent to their bedrooms. Child- sized fixtures will encourage cleanliness. Lavatories can be connected closer to the floor, within sasy reach. Mirrors can go above at the desired heights. A four foot square bathtub or receptor tub which has a diagonal bathing area and built - in seat is penfect. Smaller toilets also are more ooirnifortalble for children. Cast-iron bathtubs come in the conventional rectangular or the new square shape in both recess and «corner models. A thick en- amel coat gives a smooth mp - pearance that will not dim or peel through many years of use. The square bathtub offers wide, roomy bathing area on the diag- onal vvlth itegmal seats on either side. A smaller version can be in- stalled ln little more than show- er stall space, yiot often run both- ing comillort. ,

Another innovation in the wall‘- hung toilet which leaves the ﬂoor clear for easy cleaning. The fl-u-sh valve type of water control. once nestrllcted to public rest - rooms, now is lcVB1I.I.8.lbI>O for home instal- lation under certain oiIDcumstan- oes. New concealed toilet tanlcs are coming in for much atten- tion, too. Manucfawcturers now have devised ways of hiding -the tank either in the wall of the bath- room or in the attic.

Once the proper fixtures have been selected, the next problem is storage’ facilities for linens, soiled clothing, medicines, toile-

tries and other bathroom articles

Consider Whole Family When Planning Bathroom

Cabinets added under the lava-, “am

tory and above the toilet, or from‘ _ The batt or blanket should be from the non-vapor side of th

space tlor a variety of bathroom needs. Medicine cabinets are large enough for the increasing variety of medicines and toile- tries used by the family.

A recessed hamper for soiled clothes can be installed in bath- rooms lacking a laundry chute. Special racks that slide in and out of cabinets are handy for hanging light laundry. A protec- ted, low wattage bulb inside the cabinet will speed up drying and make it possible to hang laund- ry out of sight.

Rapid air exchange to combat bathroom hiimidity is usually pro- vided by an outside window. Many windowless bathrooms or those plagued by excessive hu- midity may require 1 ventilating fan to expel moisture-laden air from the room.

Vertical grab bars in the tub and shower, non-skid ﬁloors, pro- perly located elloctrical equip - ment and recessed radiators con- tribute to bathroom safety.

Insulation Helps Make Idle Attic Space Useabla
