- rf- ‘ ..AROLil'iA TIMES—SATURP ^ ExU’iVjion j.MO^es IDEAS FOR INTERIORS Alison Lindroth Tearing Down Walls Perhaps the most commonly undertaken type of spatial jug gling is the creation of one large roi''in o\il of two or more smaller ones. If you are considering this typ. of project you should weigh the pros and cons. For example, if you plan to sell your home in the near future you may reduce the value of your property considera bly by cutting the number of rooms. Removing a non-load-bearing wall is a relatively simple task and it is possible to complete the pro ject so no trace of the vanished wall remains. On the other hand, taking out a structural wall means putting back a supporting beam to carry the weight. Unless you can hide the beam within the floor space, part of it will show, mark ing the original room divisions. If you decide to enlarge a room, to complete the transformation and make the most of the new sense of spaciousness you have created, it is a good idea to treat the wall and floor surfaces as part of a single unified design. Using the same floor covering through out a large room, especially if it has a strong geometric pattern, can be a good way of making two halves appear as one. Color also can be used in the same way. If you have a decorative cornice or frieze and have been left with spaces where a new opening has been made you can buy small pieces of ready-made plasterwork to bridge the gaps. . 1990. Tribune Media Services Carefui Plans Key To Your Comfortable Home By JOAN GOSPER N.C. State University A well-decorated, comfortable home doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of careful planning, says Dr. Wilma Hammett, extension inte rior design specialist at North Carolina State University. Whether you live in a house or an apartment, remember that it will fill a variety of needs and not just be an attractive space. “Needs, interests and tastes change as in dividual family members change. Furnishing and decorating a home to meet these changes shou!,d be one of life’s real pleasures, but each step should be studied and planned -arefuUy with the future in mind,’’ Hammett says. Whether you have a budget to furnish a whole house or just one room, the principles are the same. Make a list of the activities that will take place in each room. This wiU help you decide on needed furni ture. ‘Then decide on a general mood for the room. 'Will it be formal r informal? Bright and cheerful more on the restful side? Do you want it to reflect your interests or hobbies?’ Hammett asks. Next, make a scaled drawdng of the room. “It will be worth many times the small effort it takes to make. Show the locations of win dows, doors, electrical outlets, heat ing units anything that will affect the placement of your furniture.” Then cut out little figures to repre sent your furniture. Using these scale models of ftimiture will help you to figure out furniture arrange ments without straining your back. Uni the stn tost Furniture models can also keep you from buying furmture that won’t in your room. Once you’ve decided on an ar.„. rangement, inventory the fumitun It®? you already own and see what you need to buy. “If the to-buy list is long, you may have to spread pm. chases over three to five years, Aj your budget allows, buy well, designed, well-constructed pieces. Quality furniture is a long-term k vestment. Fill in with second hanj or do-it-yourself furniture,” Ham. mett recommends. t HU the plel tos PiWFUNDING $$$ r' AND SENSE VICTORIA R. FLEMING Expo ’90 We were off to see the wizard ... not really, but we did venture to the 7th Annual National Food and Nutrition Expo at a nearby arena. This is one of those great events where you’re handed a strong shopping bag as you pay (natural ly with a $1 discount per ticket!) and are let loose to sample new food products, oldies with new twists, coupons, refund foiiris, calendars and recipes from nation al manufacturers. A major super market chain sponsors it perhaps there’s a similar show in your neighborhood. Events in clude cooking demonstrations by famous chefs, appearances by TV soap stars, an opportunity to have your cholesterol/blood pressure checked and contests for free va cation trips or kitchen re-dos. In one sense, the show proved how much junk food we eat but, then again, most munchies travel well and don’t require refrigeration. I only wish they had used the health ier microwave oven rather than frying the many snack items. All in all, it was great fun! I even won a package of English muffins and we both got a chance to pet Elsie the Cow and her handsome off spring! Our tummies and shop ping bags were quite full, thank you. And, we even gathered to gether lots of special treats for our outdoor friends, raccoons, squir rels ana birds to try the next day!
