MAKING A BED ROOM INTO

L.
By LAURA M. CHAVIER -la
Keith's Magaila.
When we first built our buna-slow
in the country it consisted of three
bedrooms a kitchen a pantry a bath-
room and a living room and dining-
room combined. We had planned to
occupy the place Just during the sum-
mer months and this gave us a very
good proportion of sleeping to living
see tor a summer cottsie. But
nn moving in we liked it so much
that we decided" to live there from
the first of April until the last of
November just going into the city
during the most severe part of the
winter. As we came to consider the
bungalow as our real home rather
than just for summer living we be-
gan toe feel that the living room and
dining room combination was not a
satisfactory arrangement for us.
When we had guests to dine with us
things in our living-dining room
seemed so cluttered snd disorderly
that we decided to change our back
bedroom the nearest one to the
kitchen into a dining room. The
dimensions of the room are 11 feet
by 12 feet This seemed small for a
dining room but perhaps it is really
no smaller than eome of the dining
rooms found m many city apartments.
It contains window on two sides of
the room one of which feces the
south and so could be made into a
good dining room even though it is
small
The next problem was . a china
doset As the room wis too small
to hold any extra furniture it was
necessary to think up some new
scheme) by which provision could be
made for the dishes. The room had
previously contained an ordinary
clothes closet of fair sis. This doset
could be opened to the hall by cutting
a new door so the closet could be
utilised without opening from the new
dining room. The old door was fitted;
to the new opening from tb doset
to the hall.
This old doorway gave tb best on-
portunity for a chins cupboard as it
was well placed in the' hew dining
room and there was spar available
