Today we are going to describe specific pieces of furniture that we feel interpret interestingly this new direcâ€" tion of our lives. The sectional idea in unit furniture is an important theme, especially for wall pieces in both modern and period styles.

A bedside table in cylindrical shape opens to reâ€" aveal commodious shelves within for the oddments you like to have at hand. Another clever bedside table has a | tray shelf that swings out from under \ the table top when needed for meals in bed, reading or whatâ€"not; when not needed, it sswings back under the table ‘ top out of the way. An end table that opens up has a blanket compartment that pulls epen or sihut like the front of a rollâ€"top desk. These are of particâ€" ular usefulness since storage space is such a constant problem in small homes. They not only provide for all manner of drawers and compartmerni s but they do it with digni‘yâ€"so you can keep your most personal and private belongings in the parlor.

The siudio couch is very fine for sileeping but it doesn‘t "sit" very comfortably. The best thing to do about that is to have lots of extra cushâ€" jons. But we‘re still waiting for a manâ€" ufacturer who will work out a studio couch with some sort of support for the back so you don‘t have to lean so far back that your feet hang off at an awkward angle. Could a metal frame be provided tha; fastens to the back feet and extends up to be used to hold the cushions further forward? Or is a double row of cushions the only ansswver? Side bolsters and staunch bookâ€"shelf and tables to keep them from sliding off is the answer to the problem of the ends.
