Nowadays in the combination rooms the walls and woodwork of one part of the room match or blend in with the other. In the upper picture besides the dining counter into the living room, a round table for four and a dresser, which may be of maple or pine, are in one end of the kitchen. With the exception of the range, refrigerator and sink all cupboards and woodwork are of pine with the walls covered with a small green and white Colonial paper to harmonize with the solid green color of the living room. The lower picture shows the dining end of a combination living room. It is built entirely of knotty pine with exposed beams in the ceiling, relieved by white curtains and a red and white print valance. continue reading…

This in New England was pine and fruit woods of all shorts; pear, apple, cherry and of course, maple. Forms were a little cruder than the English prototypes and new ones were evolved –the butterfly table, some chairs, the hutch, the gate leg table, the dresser, make the most attractive of furnishing today and are extensively used and liked by us all. The room above shows the charm of the pieces and the ease with which they can be used in small or moderate sized rooms. In small country houses use blue, green or warm ivory walls, papered or painted with a good braided or rag rug on a waxed floor, white ruffled net or cotton curtains with or without draperies, colorful dishes and attractive lights. You will be delighted with the result and you need not spend much to obtain it. Get a piece at a time, if need be, but get the best of its kind. Save a little from your first outlay to get gay checked gingham or some low priced colorful stuff for the curtains. Don’t wait to get them. Pick up attractive bowls and dishes as you come across them. These colorful touches give warmth to your room.
Sometimes it feels that hard to find when you want one. A Kraftmaid Price List can be as hard to find as the Holy Grail. I always ask my customers why they would even need one. Most of the time they are really talking about wanting a specification book.
The Kraftmaid Price List is a large soft cover book with thousands of part numbers for cabinets, some option details, and list prices. I don’t know why you really need to know what the factory list prices are anyway. If you are purchasing at a discount percentage off of the list price, it would be necessary to calculate your price point.
If it’s all the styles, sizes and options that are available from Kraftmaid you want to investigate, you are needing a specification book. continue reading…
