drawer or box after each wear

them looking pressed (par-

the cardboard that comes

Be sure to fold carefully,

Because they felt that the
breezeway connecting t h ei r
home and garage was idle space,
and because family with four
children can always use an extra
living room, the Donald Bloods,
who live on Virginia Avenue in
Gaithersburg's new Rosemont
subdivision, turned their breeze
way into an attractive den-play-
room.
Originally, the breezeway con-
sisted of a roof connecting the
brick outside walls of the house
and the garage. When they be-
gan to enclose it, the Bloods
decided to leave the brick walls,
and built window.walls on the
open ends.
The windows match those OF
