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.

room. 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

double-door clothes closet and a
smaller but ample closet. The
predominating color in this room
is blue. The curtains are in a
tint of this color. 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.
