We're going to fix up the basement recreation room with a new look. This sort of weather makes us look around with a fresh approach, and I wonder how many of you have basements just begging to be reclaimed from the general at mosphere of a conglomeration of cast-offs. When a room can offer a spot for relaxation, fun. and the TV set, it's really too bad to force it to disuse by the lack of a simple face-lifting". Gay colors some slipcovers, prac tical tables and lamps is all you need. ' The basement I mentioned before is going to serve more than one purpose when we are through but all for recreation in general a room the young sters can't hurt, but smart enough for party entertaining. We're starting with deep gold walls.- The fireplace will be flanked by a loveseat of black iron in tomato red tweed and a matching chair in cocoa tweed. An indestructable cof fee table with black iron legs and micarta top completes the cozy group. Across from the fireplace sits a Roman couch with foam rubber mattress and bolsters, for easy TV viewing or to sleep an extra guest. The end of the basement where the TV is, is really a slight offset, and we're going to paint it cocoa to look like an alcove. The youngsters like to put on plays here and use this space for the stage, so we're going to pull those inexpensive split bamboo draperies for stage curtains. Sounds like they cove will also take a large have fun, doesn't it? This al cove will also take a large round oak table which we're going to paint turquoise, and put six new black iron dinette chairs around it. The other end of the base ment, the area in back of the loveseat is for the new, mov able bar we're going to use black iron bar stools with trac tor seat honestly, you could sit in them all day! There's a piano back here, too. So you see there's a spot planned for everything for grown-ups and youngsters alike. Sit down with a list of activities you want to plan around in your own basement; include a table and chair group for games' and' eating, a com fortable lounging group for conversation and TV. Keep it practical and simple. One thin? about black, iron legs on furniture, you can Ye lax about scuff marks from the kiddier and also bumps from cleaning equipment you can't hurt it T Don't feel stumped now I'd love to help you plan it, so bring in your list of activities and a sketch of the basement Maybe the seemingly impos sible can become a reality of usefulness and enjoyment Mary Thomas x ; Interior Decorator .Roberts Bros.
