How to Live in One Room & Love
It
It seems with these hard economic
times we are hearing of more folks
living in a flat or one open room to
save money. This could be your first
flat or you could be newly married
and making do with a studio
apartment or an older couple whose
children have left and circumstances
have changed financially. Whatever
the reasons, people are doing it and
loving it. Here are some ideas to
make your space a living space that
you love and enjoy
1. Double-duty sleepers include a
sofa bed that serves as a bed and
chesterfield. Also conceal a bed
under the first one for guest and hide
with trim covers.
2. Eating and Entertaining can be
easily done with small tables that
extend or expand like a narrow
Parsons or drop leaf table that can be
hidden behind a couch. Nesting and
bunching tables come in an
assortment of sizes and styles.
3. Storage and plenty of it can be
attainable by storage wall facility you
can order ready made or make it
yourself. A storage wall can be
against the wall, suspended from a
ceiling by tension poles and serve as
a room divider.
4. Lamps to the purpose.
Although you may not need many
lamps you should plan on enough for
adequate lighting. Spacing saving
lamps include wall and pole lamps
that extend, swing or swivel. They
also provide alternate lighting
possibilities with three way bulbs.
5. Floor coverings are very
important in small spaces. Wall to
wall carpeting tends to make rooms
look larger whereas area rugs can
easily define and separate areas. Sold
colored furnishings can be accented
with splashy rya rugs.

FOR THE LOVE OF ART
Whatever your color
scheme, we probably
have an art piece that will
fit in.
A single painting can be a
dramatic focal point when
placed above a fire place
or table setting.
A large expanse of wall is a
perfect spot to arrange a
picture wall with smaller
pieces.
Lighthearted and springtime
fresh will be enjoyed with
this pastel abstract
Bright colors and interesting
accessories liven any area.
Meals are more pleasant in
cheerful surroundings.
Add a conversation piece for
your guests such as this one
entitled "Golden Harvest"
This is a small sampling of
our mini art gallery. We
have original oils and some
numbered edition prints.

REMEMBER WHEN
taken from Panati's
Parade of Fads, Follies
and Manias
1970-1979 "The Me
Decade"
The 70's to me meant
getting married and
having babies. It was
the beginning of the
working mother
generation and with it
came a whole new
juggling act of
managing family, work
and leisure. Men still
didn't quite accept this
new work ethic but
were mostly overruled
with the newborn
enthusiasm of
companies finally
getting a wage break
with hiring women for
less for the most part.
Highlights of the 70's
Dance - Disco, Hustle
Music - The Sound of
Music, Sing Along with
Mitch, Raindrops Keep
Falling on My Head,
Whole Lotta Love, I Feel
the Earth Move, You've
Got a Friend.
Books - The God
Father, Love Story,
Jaws, The Thorn Birds,
Rich Man, Poor Man,
Fear of Flying
Television - All in the
Family, The Mary Tyler
Moore Show, The Odd
Couple, Sanford & Son,
the Partidge Family, M.
A.S.H., Maude & The
Bob Newhart Show
Fads - Platform shoes,
Hot Pants, Earth Shoes,
String Bikini, Tank tops,
Jazzed up jeans and
designer labels,
Polyester leisure suits,
Campus Toga parties,
Mood rings, Pet rocks,
I'm Ok, your Ok.
Seems like yesterday,
doesn't it?
