LIKE HOLIDAY Kitchen Colors Can Lift A cheerful, eye-catching kit-| chen can be like having a 365- day vacation. Well, almost. According to Mary Huck, home economics director of Frigidaire division, General Motors, both new kitchens and old will respond to the same treatment: a healthy dose of spirit-lifting color and a work- plan designed to speed up KP and cut down on drudgery. For many homeowners. the choice of kitchen colors is as .trauma-making as an income -tax deadline. It needn't be. Color appeal is largely emo- tional, If, for instance, a home- maker feels most alive in blues and greens, she probably would work more efficiently in a kit- chen based on these hues or a blend of the two, such as a clear, fresh turquoise. Other women might respond more ef- fectively to a sunshiny yellow Or a singing pink. Where to start? Miss Huch says, "some of the} most exciting and effective new | kitchens are being color-clued to the appliance which carry the biggest work load."'

If it's on the shaded side of the house, consider light, warm tones -- yellow and pink and white. The effectively equipped and arranged kitchen not only charms the eye, but reduces un- necessary effort. Here are some energy-saving ideas worth consideration: An adjustable posture chair on wheels; an electric range with an oven that pulls out like a drawer for quick, easy clean- ing; a two-shelf serving cart; a refrigerator with a freezer that never needs defrosting, and a pull-out towel rod installed at the left of the dishwasher. And there are more.
