C ONSULT the photograph of the exterior 
and note the two bays. The one this 
way is the living-room shown below; the far¬ 
ther, the dining-room. Both have a southern 
exposure, overlooking the garden. The din¬ 
ing-room is 1 T x 23\ the bay giving it 
added depth. Sunlight floods the room-as it 
should a dining-room. Gaily-colored cre¬ 
tonnes lend a color note to the white panel¬ 
ing. Unity of color scheme is achieved by 
the screen which is covered with the same 
fabric as the hangings 
A DARKER panel has ben used in the liv¬ 
ing-room and darker tones prevail 
throughout. The room presents some in¬ 
teresting problems of furniture arrangement. 
A living-room must first of all be livable, it 
must have the restfulness of open spaces and 
the ir.timacy of friendly converse. Thus, by 
eliminating the small round table in the fore¬ 
ground and placing the couch nearer the fire, 
both those desirable features would be easily 
attained. But the room looks as though it 
had been lived in 
A SIMPLE plan helps the livableness of a 
house, and this house is above all livable. 
The hall runs through from entrance to gar¬ 
den, a cross corridor leading to the music and 
living-rooms on the left, and, on the right, 
passing the dining-room to the pantry and 
kitchen. The compact arrangement ot stairs 
and landing which cover the vestibule with its 
closet and wash-room affords the hall gener¬ 
ous space. White woodwork and simplicity 
of detail and furnishings set the note for the 
rest of the house
