AN ATTRACTIVE DESIGN WITH A BREAKFAST ROOM.

Design EE, by Glenn L. Saxton, Architect. Minneapolis, Minn.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW—FROM A PHOTOGRAPH

THE breakfast nook provided for in this design offers an unusual opportunity for a varied color scheme. Walls of brown would suit well with straw seats of brown. Hangings should match some prominent floor color, say in a rug, and the furniture in white enamel could be brought into harmony with the color of the seats. The casement windows are appropriate for a small room. This breakfast room is twelve feet square. Cost to build on the scale of the pictures shown about SIO,OOO, exclusive of heating and plumbing. • Upon receipt of $1 the publisher of this paper will furnish Saxton’s plan book, “American Dwellings,” which contains over 300 costing to build from SI,OOO to $6,000; also a book of interiors, $1 per copy.
