The coloring of the bungalow furnish¬ 
ings is almost entirely dull blues and 
greens, chosen for the cool and restful 
effect and because, in so small a house, a 
variety of colors would be sure to clash. 
The original slope of the land was pre¬ 
served, not only saving the expense of 
cutting and filling, but leaving natural and 
attractive grounds, in place of the pain¬ 
fully raw appearance that usually follows 
the builder’s operations. Plans for a heat¬ 
ing apparatus in the cellar were discarded 
in favor of stoves, in case of the house 
being occupied all winter. To provide 
for these a stove hole was cut in the hall, 
and an upright galvanized iron sheet con¬ 
structed by the tinner to fit in the open 
fireplace during the stove season. The 
boiler, usually given a place by the kitchen 
range, where there is already too great a 
supply of heat, was put on the opposite 
side of the partition wall, where its heat 
could contribute to the comfort of the 
bathroom in chilly weather. A portable 
oil heater is always at hand for use in any 
of the rooms. These heating arrange¬ 
ments saved expense in constructing the 
bungalow and are also very economical of 
fuel. Oil is used in hot weather for 
cooking. Gas, electricity, and city water 
have not reached us yet; the plumbing is 
supplied by cistern and tank in attic, with 
a pump in the kitchen. Another saving 
was effected by having some of the closets 
open in two rooms. A single porcelain 
tub and a washing machine cost less than 
two tubs, and do the work better; besides, 
the space in a small kitchen is more valua¬ 
ble than another tub; the machine, being 
portable, is stored in another room except 
when needed. A built-in kitchen table, 
measuring two by six is closed in below 
and fitted with doors, making the handiest 
kind of a closet and utilizing space that 
generally goes to waste. Expense was 
avoided by having the woodwork of 
cypress, with the plainest possible finish. 
Windows were all chosen from stock 
sizes, saving the cost of making to order. 
Shutters were unnecessary because of the 
shade provided by the trees. An outside 
cellar door was not considered to be of 
enough importance to pay for the cost; 
to serve the same purpose the inside door 
to the cellar stairs was placed directly be¬ 
side the door opening into the back porch. 
Simple, unbroken lines in roof, walls and 
partition, saved expense both inside and 
outside the house also adding much to the 
restful effect of the place.
