THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Hanson Home on Charnelton Chosen Best of WekbyRegister-Gug 1 fl' J I iitfjjifii'fMhMMI v miJ . ill Mrs. Lies Awake Nights Figuring Still Enthusiastic Over Prospects of Life In New Residence By BETTY JANE THOMPSON Mrs. W. R. Hanson laid awake many nights, she recalls, plan' ning the "must" list lor the new home she and Mr. Hanson built at 2450 Charnelton street.. Now that they have lived in the house for two months Mrs. Hanson is still enthusiastic as she was in those plan-making days over the prospect of living in the home, and she can thing of nothing she wants added or changed, she de clares. Eye attracting is this long, low, white painted house, standing by itself on the west side of the street, as one approaches it from Willamette street. Although not extreme modern, the house fol lows the modern type of archl tecture. There is the impression of wholeness, of solidarity, of simpleness, of beauty that modern homes give. The Hansons and their son, Bill from their porch, which is en closed on the east (front) side by a low wrought iron railing, have an unobstructed view across the valley to the hills on Victoria and Fairmount heights. Two other things Mrs. Hanson likes about the porch. It is sheltered from the afternoon sun and receives a minimum amount of rain. The solid wood door has one of the decorative peep-hole fix tures in it. This is opened from the inside and reveals the identity of the person outside. Another feature of the door is the graceful arch. The same line is repeated in the arch from the little entrance hallway to the liv ing room and from the living room to the hallway leading to the sleeping quarters. The solid brass threshold is one of those things Mrs. Hanson decided upon during one of her sleepless home-planning nights. Another thing is the weather stripping around all the doors and windows. This keeps rain and drafts out. The doorknob is etched brass. The rest of the hardware in the living room and dining room is the same while that of the bedrooms is etched brass and Ivory. To the left in the small en trance hall is a cloak closet. Here, too, one first notices the fine brocaded gray plaster walls and ceiling which are found in the living room and dining room also. The gray turns blue at night Mrs. Hanson says. The rounded corners at the floor are repeated throughout the house. This makes it possible to remove all dust, Mrs. Hanson explained. The hard wood floor of the entrance hall is also found in all the rest of the rooms. The travertine fireplace with its fluted tan colored trim and Dutch boy and girl andiron guards is directly in front of the person entering the living room. The andirons are of Old English brass as are the fireplace fittings. The little guards stand in front of the curtain-screen of the fireplace. The best part about the fireplace is that the whole thing is wash able, Mrs. Hanson declared. A large circular mirror hangs over the mantel. Blue dominates the living Hot Water 24 Hrs.

The floor plan rug of a deep blue with traces of dusty rose and beige in a conventional ized flower design continues into the dining room, which is an extension of the living room. On the east side of the room is an eight-foot plate glass "view" or "picture" window. This spot is the one she likes best in the room, Mrs. Hanson says, "be cause the view can never be taken away from us." From here the family has the same clear view of the valley and hills on the east side of town as they have from the porch. On either side of the window are inviting arm chairs, one a deep blue and one a dusty rose. A footstool completes the blue set and a kidney-shaped davenport placed along the west ern wall of the room completes the dusty' rose set. An antique chair at the left of the short con' necting hall at the northwest corner of the room is of ma hogany with rose and blue on a beige background seat and back cover. The dining room set, which is placed so that host and hostess and their guests have an eastern view through the window, and the oombination desk-drawers- china closet in the northwest corner of the room are eighteenth century federal pieces. The other pieces of furniture in the room are Duncan Phyfe. In the china closet Mrs. Hanson has placed her new set of English Chippen dale rose pottery. The ceiling in these two rooms is cove. The ceilings, while tend ing toward the new low-type are 8 feet high "since there is noth ing small about the family," Mrs. Hanson said. Lighting fixtures in the room are of the indirect style. Mrs, Hanson, however, insisted that the center ceiling fixtures be m- eluded in her home. "I'm just old fashioned enough to want them. she explained. The fixtures and the lamp are of beige and ivory tones. The drapes in the living room and dining room are of a mohair material with blue, wine and beige worked in a flower pattern on a dusty rose background. The ivory Venetian blinds and wood work are repeated in all rooms except the kitchen and utility 10m. To thft Tlnvth of iha Ainina room is the kitchen.

Ivory is the companion color. On the floor are two Nundah scatter rugs with a tree of life design. Although these have a white background, they may be used constantly be cause they are washable. The other bedroom is at the other end of the hall (southwest corner of the house) and is done in green and ivory. One of the interesting things to be found in this room is the built in double' door clothes closets on either side of the built in high boy on the east wall of the room. The shoe rack, shelves and rods in each closet are useful built-in addi tions. Five doors of varying depths are placed in the high boy. The bathroom is on the west side of the hall between the two bedrooms. Upon entering the room one gets an almost full-length view of one's self in the large mirror (which serves as the door for the medicine cabinet. Lights are long flourescent tubes at either side of the mirror. There is a window at the left of the mirror, but one's eye is attracted by the two window-like 'glass brick columns on either side of the mirror. The color scheme for the bath room is blue, ivorv and naarh. The walls are peach and the sink, tub and toilet and woodwork ht-a ivory. The oil silk shower and winaow curtains are peach with traces of blue and white. The tub (which is rippled to prevent falls) and the toilet set back in arched alcoves on the south side of the room. To the right of the entrance on the north wall is a large closet. One enters the parae-p frnm door in the north wall of the utility room. As one goes down me two cement steps to the garage floor level, one notices the garbage can built in at th loft side of the steps. The garage is larger man tne ordinary garage because a door is nlapprt at th east end of the garage and at the west end in line with the steps. An open stairway in front of the west door leads to the "little room above the garage" which may be used as the "spare room" when company comes. A door in the south end of this room leads into the unfinished Dortion nf tho attic. Another thine Mrs. Han Very nroud of is thn ahnnrianna of outlets. No room lias less than three, she says, and there's even a water-proof outlet in back. What About YOUR ROOF Protect your home from heat. Use Acme shingles. No down payment.
