Artistic Fireplaces

Perhaps the most interesting feature in
the development of the house is the fire

After this the fire was placed against

built in a recess to shelter it from the

comfortable feature of the room In the

attractive place for reading. sewing or
serving afternoon tea. In the dining room
a little table can be set in the ingle nook

One method is to divide the end of
living room to form an alcove for the
fireplace. The room is divided by a simple
wooden screen placed about six feet from
one end. The ceiling of this alcove is fin
shed with small false beams. The wall
is set with bookcases on either side of the
fireplace, and there are boXseats with high
backs on three sides of the alcOVe. The
backs of these seats. which are under the
bookcases. form doors to cupboards under
the shelves. There is simple wooden
shelf on brackets across the chimney
breast to form a mantel. The facing of
the fireplace is in gray cement and gray
tiles. with blue enameled figures forming
a relief for the plain gray ground.
