PAGE 10, THE HERALD, Friday, April 14,1978 A REMODELING IDEA FOR THE KITCHEN: MICROWAVE COOKING CENTER. This center (Model RKQGGG) features a lower,self-cleaning oven and a microwave upper oven that cooks by time or temperature. The ovens are: designed for a 27-inch base cabinet. This is the first Hotpoint built-in offering automatic temperature control (ATC), previously available only on countertop microwave ovens. The variable-power levels on the microwave oven provide a range of approximately 100-625 watts to accommadate everything from slow simmer to high-power cooking for maximum speed: t Fountain Landscaping If you’ve changed your mind about installing a swimming pool because of the energy shortage, con- sider landscaping your back- yard with a beautiful fountain. Fountains have the ad- vantage of using the same water over and over again, at a low cost, and they don’t require heating! Today there are many different types of fountains to suit the home- owner's taste, available in all sizes and price ranges. Contrary to what you might ‘think, they do not require costly plumbing or con- struction. If your home is ‘rustic, there are waterwheels and box structures made of redwood to complement its architecture, Ifyou prefer a natural en- vironment, wuterfalls that realistically duplicate stone can create the outdoor set- ting you want. If elegance is more to your liking, there are spray rings designed to cascade water in several pleasing patterns, including vertical sprays and sprays in a dome shape. If you don't have space for a regular fountain, you might consider installing a fountain along your patio or garden wall, Wall fountains are available in many in- teresling designs, ranging from cherubs to shell “ 10x50 addition.

Whether you choose a miniature fountain or a fancy waterfall, you'll find the effect charming and pic- turesque, and much more practical than the standard swimming pool. Designing Ideas If. you're thinking about having a professional in- terior designer decorate your home, consult friends who have used decorators for recommendations. Most - designers charge ‘fixed hourly rates, so to get a good idea of what it will cost, ask for an estimate of the number of hours that will probably be needed for your project. Stipulate as much in writing as possible as ta fees, etc. ae And remember that the final decor should reflect your lifestyle, nol someone else’s preferences, Cieaning Tip * To clean carved furniture, dip -a rather stilf-bristled paint brush in paraffin, hang in the open air till it be- comes almost dry, and use it for removing the dust from mouldings and carved parts, Wipe the brush with a rag after using each time and wash the brush when it ~becomes rather dirty. + peeled helo dll hhh ieee iehedaleiriciia + ' . . . E Windows not only affect tangible things like the in- ‘terior and exterior appear- ance of your home, your lighting, ventilation, view and ‘privacy ... they affect such intangibles as your mood und attitude — your whole psychological §well- being. as well. ¢ Consequently, they re- quire curefui foresight and planning. And since your window decisions are fairly permanent ones, you should come up with plans you can live with for a number of years. Here are some points to keep in mind, say deco- ralors, us you determine the placemenl, size and type of your windows: Strive for the ideal of uniform daylight in your rooms throughout all seasons. For best lighting and fuel economy, your main win- dows should face a south- erly direction. Avoid east- west facing windows, since they are difficult to shade. The glass areas of your walls ‘should equal about 20% of your floor area, for optimum lighting. Adequate ventilation de- mands that the number of windows which open should equal about 10% of your floor area. You should po- jEverything Youve Wanted to Know About Windows: sitian your windows to take advantage of the available breezes. Windows separated and placed in different walls of- fer better daylight distribu. - tion than windows grouped together. , Short, wide windows will give you broad, shallow light distribution: tall, natrow windows provide thin, deep distribution. if you plan on installing screens, remember that they absorb up to 50% of the available daylight. Exterior shading via shrubs, awnings, etc. can -help you avoid summer heat gains. Translucent windows of- fer privacy; linted windows reduce heat and glare. You can frame the most inviling parts of your view by careful placement of your windows. If you live.in the suburbs, for example, you can place your bedroom windows high in the ceiling, to capture the beauty of the treetops and sky above and delete the view of uninter- esting rooftops below, If you come into a ready- built home, where you can't start from scratch and re-do your window planning, there are ways to improve the " ) - € Sewing exisling window schemes; 4 : LIGHTEN A DARK HALLWAY with attractive skylight thal will “open up” the area, create new decorating possibilities.
