HOME IMPROVEMENT PLAN

A Suggestion for Home Owners to do
What They Always Dreamed -
of Doing

Any .home that is occupied by more
than two people will find plenty of use
for an extra living room. Space iy
atics or basements may be converted
to this use and funds for the necessary

_| work may be obtained from a bank or
other. authorized lending institution

under the terms of the Home Improve-
ment Plan. The loan may be repaid
in instalments over a period up to tive
years if necessary.

Occasionally little work is necessary
to make an attractive room.. In one
basement, o brick.fire place was built
in, to make the focal polnt of interest.
The walls were painted a soft shade

of yellow ‘and the floor a deep: ‘shade
of. brown,
ed to close off the’ corner of: the eellar |‘
that was being used for’ the room.

The’ ceiling pave the effect of beams
being joined: with false: ‘ones to carry
out the effect, Curtains were hung at
the sides-of the cellar windows, 80 a8
not.to detract from any’ light that
might enter, and to give. the feeling of
greater width. Simple ‘furniture. was
used in this room. _
