TY COMPULDS SERICES,

Hideaway hobby center can
add decorative room accent

Tired of having the fam-
ily room left cluttered with
odds and ends? Why not
build a hideaway hobby
center along one wall,
right in the room. it will
be convenient, neat, and
help the whole family
spend more time together.

Serving as a storage
Place for project materi-
als, the center will also
supply useful work sur-

faces.

Its size would be deter-
mined by your family’s
needs, as well as the
amount of floor space you
can spare from the room.
A floor-to-ceiling unit, 16
to 20 inches in depth
should be adequate for the
average household,

Once you have decided
on the number of shelves
and cubby holes your fam-
ily will need, a simple
frame can be constructed.

Order pre-cut lumber in
required sizes, Build the
frame so it’s sturdy, and
fasten It to the walls so it
won't topple over. Apply
washable paint or adhe-
sive-backed paper to dec-
orate the unit.

Family members can be
recruited to add the fin-
ishing touches. Inexpen-
sive organizers, such as
plastic storage boxes and
revolving trays can be
used to keep airplane glue
out of the sewing basket,
or modeling clay out of
the macrame,

To camouflage the whole
area at a moment's notice,
hang panels of stylish
Levolor Riviera window

across the front.
‘The blinds can be mounted
on the top of the frame,
or hung from the ceiling.

They can be raised com-
pletely out of the way
when the center is in use;
or lowered instantly to
hide the mess. There's no
need to clean up the area
until the project at hand
is completed.

what you need to give it that
