Recently we visited a large private housing project and watched community workshops doing over old pieces in Interesting fashion. Then we saw how well auch pieces had been integrated into even the most modern of interiors.

We saw a huge okl chest of drawers that had been stripped of its ginger- bready trimming, bleached, restained, gawed in two and made into two handsome slide-by-side modern chests.

Another job was done nicely with an old table-top sewing machine trans formed into a dressing table for a second bedroom. The legs were saved uff two inches, then an inexpensive top was made with a piece of piyboard covered with glazed chintz, given a thin coating of clear lacquer eo that dust could be wiped off easily. A pretty ruffed dressing table skirt was mads of matching chintz. The top then comes off when the machine, which has been electrified, is wanted. And so an old-Ume discarded sewing machine served two purposes after a very sinull outlay of time and money.

Beautiful vases-a 1tle too large or tos elaborate for today's simple apart- wiring job, and fitted with ments-were turned into stunning lamps after a hand-made shades.

A kitchen-laundry combination, reparate dining area, living room and a master bedroom takes up the first section, while for the children there are two small rooms. Silding pizzels of walnut wood separate the areas and also are installed to alter the ares of each section, ns in the area for the children, which, by aid of a panel can be made from two small rooms into one very large space.

A large storage unit, four and a half feel deep, separates living and dining ureas and takes care of sforing books, chinn, glassware, game equipment and aimllar household items. But in the children's quarters there is a smart cabinet, a long combination bookcase and chest unlt of wood with metal framed, plastie front.
