Thursday
Hi, there Just visited a
home where spring fever has
struck. 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
