4 To find out whether you might
like an L-shaped dinette, you
can run your own test. Place
chairs so they can form an L
in a corner of your dining area
and move the table to fit into
the L This arrangement won't
look as attractive as dinette,
but it will give you an idea of
what a more permanent ar
arrangement of this kind would
be like.
BOOST YOUR PRIVACY-The
usual furnishings for one-bed-
room efficiency include a COM
bination sofa and bed. This may
be a sofa-bed or a studio-bed
covered with a tailored spread
and used as a sofa.
For those who would like tC
have a regular bed however there
are the twin problems of decor
and of privacy. Both can bt
solved by the use of screens.
Today. in fact, screens are
making a big comeback in pop
ularity, particularly in apart
ments and in small houses
Screens help to divide wide oper
Iliving-dining areas to form spe-
cial areas for dining. working
reading or sewing.
Screens likewise can be useC
to advantage in providing extrs
privacy in one-room efficiencies
Many attractive screens are

available today. or II you prefer
they are relatively easy to make
One favorite arrangement fol-
one-room efficiencies is to screer
off the bed area with shutter
screen which is fastened either
against a desk for the bedroom
side or a buffet for the living
room side. This forms what
amounts to a shutter wall which
makes. as well, an interesting
background.
The desk or buffet can be
made from a half side flush door
supported by ready-made wood
or black-iron legs. The screen
can be made from old shutters
picked up at a wrecking yard.
DRAPERY PROBLEMS?-If
you are one of the apartment
jewellers who is always on the
move, you probably are faced
from time to time with the
problem of finding your favorite
draperies too short for new
windows.
Draperies can be heightened
quickly by cutting the fabric
and inserting strips of contrast
ing material to form border
stripes near the bottom.
Decorative fringe or braid
can be tackled over the strips

DINETTE SPACE SAVER

DlNETIE SPACE SAVER
The couple with an active family
of youngsters might find some
value in putting in a dinette
booth in place of the usual din
ing table and chairs.
A built-in U-shaped dinette
booth to accommodate five OF
six people can take up Just under
% square feet of floor space
compared with about 80 square
feet for a table and chairs fol
the same number.
An L-shaped dinette to accom-
modate four or five people car
take up only about II square
feet of floor space, and is flexible
enough to serve as many a:
eight people when chairs are
also used.
The secret of the L-shapec
dinette is that it actually look:
like a curved sofa made to fl
in the corner of your dining
area. If a folding table is used
it can be completely removed
between meals. freeing the fiool
area for play or extending the
living room area for entertaining
Before building a project o.
this kind, it is best to obtair
detailed plans. If you're lucky
you may find a second hanC
dinette seat from a restaurant
which you would merely neeC
to recover and finish.
