allow you to vary the light.

reason for choosing comic 2

If using fixtures requiring

If a dining room fixture
is to be used as a study
light, a fixture of frosted
glass or white plastic that
is covered on top with a
glass, plastic or perforated
metal would be a good one.
The fixture should diffuse
some light upward for gen
eral room lighting and some
downward on the table. "It’s
best if the light is movable
so it can come down closer
to the table for studying
Be sure that there is at
least a total of 200 watts of
light in one or more bulbs.
If you plan to turn gift
money into new furniture,
choose pieces that will serve
more than one purpose
If it's a small chest you’re
shopping for it may serve as
storage space for living room
accessories but also be an
end labia f or one of the lar
ger upholstered chairs.

it will be long lasting.
A new trend in furniture
has been the return to popu
lar favor of dining room
suites Dining room furniture
lost importance during and
after World War II Many
families purchased only din
ette sets for meal service. In
much of the smaller housing
of the past decade people had
space for little else Dining
space had shrunk to a rela
tively small area between the
living room and kitchen
Along with the larger aver
age size of single family
homes in recent construction
has come provision for a nor
mal-sized dining room In
creased emphasis has been
p aced on the styling and
decoration of dining aieas.
The styling of buffets and
china cabinets, long-missing
items in many households,
has also changed A buffet is
still sold as a separate piece,
but a china cabinet also is
desired, Ihe buffet is used as
the base and either a hutch
type (open face) or en
closed cabinet of matching
style and finish is set on top
of the buffet-base This dif
"ers from a generation ago
when buffet and china cabin
ets were separate items of
furniture and could not be
used together to make one
piece
New woods and finishes
are being used extensively

in furniture production. Chip
wood cores are being used
on wood furmture to give
firmer and better finish to
the plywoods. Natural finish
es, such as walnut and ma
hogany, have again become
important, reversing the
trend to b’eached and limed
woods of a few years ago.
Plastic coatings are being
used considerable on the tops

other furniture as a protec

Rugs are an expensive part
of the furnishing of a house
You need to play safe with
pattern in your rug since it
will last a long time
One problem in the use of
pattern in a :ug is the scale
of the design in the pattern.
Make the size of the pattern
go with the size of the room

When s+ar+mfj out to use
pattern on the floor, it may
be a good idea to use smaller
rugs for accent These rugs

spot in the room as in front
of the fireplace or the televi
