Space, Mood And Monc Contribute To (^anMcs THOMASVILLE - Space, money and mood are key influences in the way homes look today. Sometimes singly, sometimes together, these elements are produc ing some of the most dramatic changes in American interiors. Take the dining room. No matter how small the area, gracious living is impossible without attractive furniture. Fully aware of the shrink ing size of today's new homes, furniture designers are creating appropriately scaled dining pieces that are, in addition, multifunc tional. A pioneer in this concept is Thomasville Furniture Industries, renowned for its beautiful formal furniture. The manufacturer recently launched a new collection never before offered in dinette size. “Carte Blanche” consists of a table, four chairs, and a credenza. All pieces are engineered for function, beautifully designed, and perfectly proportioned for today’s living spaces. Ideal for young recently marrieds or newly singles—or an older couple whose children have left home—Carte Blanche satis fies the increasing demand for smaller but better dining furniture for apartments, condominiums, and kitchen and family room arrange ments. The flexible storage unit, aptly labeled the “Incred ible Credenza,” is so named for several reasons. On casters for easy mobility, it has a finished back, and can serve as a beautiful room divider. Its hinged flip top has a laminated surface useful for a work area or additional dining space, and a deep- well compartment for concealed table-leaf storage, as well as table pads. Constructed from hard wood solids and veneers, the credenza has four drawers. One drawer, with a pencil-tray insert, is situated above a file drawer with wood dividers. The piece also serves as a mini desk. In addition, the top central drawer sports a concealed lock and drop-in silver tray. The large storage area in the middle has an adjust able shelf, while the storage cabinet on the right has a fixed shelf and removable wine rack. Carte Blanche dining is available in a wide range of popular styles from formal- traditional to casual-con- temporary. Tables are round or oval and have an extra leaf with a full apron for a finished appearance and added flex ibility. Chairs are high or low back, and come with or without casters. Seats are slip, or “comfortex,” for heavy use. Both chair styles in every design are scaled to fit neatly under tables for added space-saving. Several Carte Blanche styles have been designed to coordinate with Thom asville wall systems and entertainment centers, a spokesman said. ^ INFLATION FIGHTim * FOOD IDEAS FESTIVE FOODS: CHICKEN AND RICE Made to order for holiday meals is this festive chick en and rice dish that requires a minimum of do-ahead . fuss.
