In large dining room, dish closets
or cabinets are often built into the
walls as the house is going up. They
add to the decorative effect without
greatly increasing the cost and are
useful for china, glassware, pewter or
silver. Sometimes a sideboard of the
Walsh type with open shelves for
interesting pieces of tableware can be
installed during building or added
later. Corner cabinets and dish clos
cts are easily built for any home, old
or new.
Drawers or sliding trays for linen
and silver are sometimes designed to
fit into the lower part of a corner cabi-
net. The drawer for silver is usually
partitioned and lined with soft mater
ial such as velvet or felt.
One convenience easily made for a
moderate sized home is a pass closet
or cabinet in the wall between the din
ing room and the kitchen. On the din
ing room side this may appear as an
ordinary closet door which, when
opened, shows the dish shelves extend
ing through to the kitchen. In one old
home a closet was used in this way.
The door was sawed in half and the
shelves, below serving level, made
fine storage space for bulky equipment
such as the toaster, waffle iron, and
coffee pot.

Bulletins In Home Dining Rooms

Built-ins In Home Dining Rooms
A "dining-alcove" or breakfast
nook" in the kitchen, the living room,
or between the two rooms, often takes
the place of the full sized dining room.
This alcove may be very simple or it
may be more elaborate as the indi-
vidual so desires it. All that is needed
for very simple one is a table sur
face and two benches to sit on. The
walls of this alcove usually form the
backs of the benches and storagespaces
may be built under them. The table
may rest on a saw buck type of base
and be made to tilt; it may be con-
structed simply with four legs, or it
may be hinged to the wall at one end
and have folding legs at the other.
