1 7 — Sideboard in the Dining-room 



Comfort and cheerfulness are expressed 

 in the elaborate room shown in Fig. 

 16, where Windsor and wicker chairs also 

 appear. 



Of different character, but equally com- 

 fortable and dignified in its simplicity, is 

 the room shown in Fig. 9. The fireplace 

 is good, the windows are well proportioned 

 and the table and chairs strong and un- 

 pretentious. The addition of a few easy 

 chairs and cushions would improve the 

 room. Fig. 1 shows a simple but very 

 comfortable room in a California bunga- 

 low. Particularly attractive are the small 

 windows hung with turkey red curtains. 

 Fig. 1 1 shows a living-room furnished in 

 the Mission style. 



A living-room and dining-room are 

 shown in Fig. 14, separated by a stairway 

 leading to the bedrooms above. Before 

 the fireplace is a settle and table, and by 

 the window a desk and a series of shelves. 

 Portieres separate the two rooms. The 

 dining-room is also supplied with shelves 

 and the furniture is of the 

 simplest. 



A simple stairway also 

 appears in Fig. 20. An 

 appropriate mantelpiece 

 for bungalows is the one 

 of rough stones in Fig. 15, 

 collected in the vicinity 

 and built by the owners of 

 the house in the woods. 



A very attractive din- 

 ing-room is photographed 

 in Fig. 13. Everything 

 here is of the simplest na- 

 ture and harmonizes with 

 the rustic stairway and 

 natural tree-trunks. The 

 china and earthenware 

 when not in use stand on 

 shelves put up by a local 

 carpenter, who also made 

 the table and the side
