We are coming to realize more and more that except in the case of large families, the dining room is a rather extravagant use of space. Instead of two small rooms, one large with a deep recess as below, or a corner as to the left, makes an excellent combination room. It seem to me that the secret of success in such a room is not to have to move chairs lamps, or what ever you, between meals and to have the table near the door to the kitchen. Then dishes can be removed easily, and bowl of fruit left on the table between meals. In the room above, a china and linen closet is at right and the kitchen door at the left. The home like room above offers suggestions for many a one story or ranch house type where the main area is one combination room. Note the arrangement and that the light scale of the modern and provincial furniture blends happily with the rugged stone fireplace. An important point, however, is the wall to wall carpeting of a modern, provincial pattern in turquoise, grays, beige and greens which ties the room together. Here comfortable overstuffed pieces have cretonne covering which is attractive with the dusty pink walls and the mahogany furniture. The certain could either be stripped or match the cretonne.
