Check Construction
And Details Of Sofa
When Selecting One
Just as in buying an article ot
clothing, you should, ' try it on
for size" when buying a sofa or
chair. Sit in it and relax as you
will in your own home.' A com
fortable chair for a small person
will not be the ultimate in comfort
for a 6-footer, so have your hus
band try it too.
Examine tne omer ieaiures roo.
Are the cushions firm enough?
Turn the chair over and check
such features as webbing and lin
ing. Webbing should be closely
woven and firm. Nailing in the
framework is taboo. Bracing with
corner blocks joined by screws and
glue indicates good construction.
Then note the tailoring: seams
and welting should be neat and
even. If tufted, buttons should be
firmly sewn.
A BRIGHT and cheeky dining
area is set off with an inter
ior partition of glass block.
The exterior wall which gives
light, and privacy both is
shown with glass block ventilation.
Co., Uie blocks are square. 4 inches
thick, and come in 6-inch by 6
inch, 8-inch by 8-inch, and 12-inch
by 12-inch sizes. They are sturdily
built, their hollow interiors contain
a partial vacuum which creates the
same insulating qualities as an 8
tnch wall.
Interior partitions can be in
stalled easily and economically by
the handyman with prefabricated
wooden strips. Such interior parti
tions are excellent for dividing
large rooms, walling off stair
wells, or giving light where pri
vacy is needed.
kitchens and bathrooms because
they are Impervious to water, and
are easy to keep clean. In kitchens
class block dividers may create a
dining area, or brighten a work
area where light is needed. In the
bath, the panels make excellent
shower walls and divider parti
tions; admitting light while pre
serving privacy.
In living and dining room areas
panels of glass block may be
used to brighten dark entrances,
to partition off a room, to add
drama to drab spots and other
advantageous areas.
