A bout and shoe cupboard is in any case a practical addition to the bed- room. It is fitted with a double iter of nicks (these allow the air to circulate round the shoes and a curtain pulls nerosa the front.

Ceiling High

Two cefling-high built-in cupboards, with a smaller one between them, make a practical fitment for one wall in the dining room, and it can some- times be constructed from two exist- ing cupboards.

In this case face the doors with ply- wood, fil them with plain bar handles, and ertamet them to bring them into line with the rest of the scheme. One

says Janet Jay

it would be a good plan to have an elec- trie light Axed inside and use it for aloring the vacuum cleaner and other cleaning materiala. Homes for mops and brushes can form part of the klichen cupboard equipment.

A corner cleaning cupboard saves space; it han looks for brooms and brushes, n shelf for a pail and space beneath for a "housemild's " box.

Hide the Uglies

Make the most of the space under the sink. This can be entirely boxed in, and there is usually room for two good. sized cupboards, still allowing free access to the waste plae. These can be kept for pails and scrubbing brushes. Bcrew hooks to the inside of the doors for floor cloths.

Cupboards for gings and china are best built on the shallow side, so that everything is "gel-ntable.” Shelves should be just wide enough to take one pile of pintes.

Extra food cupboards depend on the Bize of the kitefien cabinet and larder, but I find that a separate one for dry Mores relieves pressure on the larder when extra supplies are ordered at holiday times,

Some of these cupboards have`ven- tilated top sections, and so can be used for storing meat, butler and milk.
