Fuel shortages are In fluencing our attitudes about the kinds and num bers of cars we drive, and how to best spend whatever money and leisure time we have. To overcome the problem of coping with affordable living space, Armstrong Interior designers conceived a “great room’’ from borrowed space. It’s welcome news! ’Turnabout was fsdr play when designer Cathy Erb converted a carport Into an exciting living center, decorated In a botanical theme. A horticultural theme was natural since the basic Idea was to literally stretch the house out from Its kitchen to the great outdoors. BOTANICAL THEME ’"The home furnishings market Is sprouting with all kinds of botanical motifs,’’ according to Miss Erb. "These are fabrics, linens, wallcoverings, dlnnerware, cookware, and accessories.’’ For her color scheme she chose earthy browns, bittersweet, terra cotta, biscult-’n basket tones, and combined them with the fresh-growing greens of live herbs. Culinary herbs have been significant In medlclene and folklore for ages,and have now become, once more, part of daily living. As easy to grow In pots on a win dowsill as In a backyard garden, few efforts are less troublesome or more rewarding. Nothing adds as much zest to cooking than herbs. Now-they add a new dimensions to decorating. TTielr ornamental value Is evident In the way they’re displayed In decorating trends. A favorite spot for growing herbs is In the kitchen. But, look at this great room...and consider hanging some at the THE GREAT ROOM - Reinforcing the botanical theme In this family room are basket stools, wicker and glass coffee table, and a print fabric railed “Gar dener’s Choice.” The lattice work at the windows provides privacy yet allows maximum light to shine through the flour-to-ceiling windows. Plant-filled divider partially screens the kitchen and offers a display area for plants and herbs, but a center where repotting can be done at any time, any weather — with still an eye on a simmering stew for dinner. This “great room” was con verted from an existing carport.

Pole planters are an excellent way to show growing herbs off, while dried ones can be mounted Into attractive wall art, or simply hung from celling beams, as Illustrated. And potpourri—an old favorite —Is wonderful In an open Jar! Miss Erb planned for Indoor dlrt-daublng In a unit between the two areas; It Is a divider that offers a potting shed with Its own bins for soli and peat moss. Lower drawers In the cabinets hold plant- growing supplies and tools. The green-thumb center has Its top cabinet fitted with a stone-filled tray; It permits carefree plant watering and misting. And the wet stones provide humidity for a better growing environment.
