It Was However a Room for All the Family. Here‘s How. A basement recreation room that the entire family could enjoy and that would not be a strain on the finances was the aim of the homeowner who created a den in the corner of his celâ€" lar. He decided to use the materig at hand and produce a simple room. Sectional book cases which had once been used in the living room flanked one wall of the new room, and a comâ€" bination bookcase and desk was placed under a high cellar window. A few old occasional tables and a magazine rack that were no longer needed in the newly decarated upper rooms were put in the den. A new, modern bridge set and a matching settee, upholstered in vright red leather were purchased. _ The children of the family used the room as a study and a large map of North America made a colourful wall h ha s by t Another their udvin 1¢ vert firs! 8t I the tor T portun small â€" s. that hitec in i 4 %}f.@ffvfiz%%i e!fl?fvzfif%‘ hm mm mt en n mmmngem mtfi mm s ce C Lo l «ie uP 29e t P A e 'ihg « # # *#* ®# “0 ....0.000000.0000.0D’O..O...O0.00 w4 .“.“.“.‘..“ ....“ ’“ .“ .0 *# .“ .“ .“ .“.“ .“ .“ .“ .“.“ .0..“ .“ ." .“ .“ .00 .Q 0.00 .“ .“ .00 .“ C desteitest decoration.
