It must be artistic, — pleasing to the cultivated eye. It must be convenient, — planned to help the housekeeper at every turn. It must be comfortable, — well arranged, well heated, well lighted, well ventilated. I he possession of these qualities reduces the labor of housekeeping, makes a home satis- fying to the owner, and desirable to the other fellow. It is a practical home; a money value home; an easily salable home. Such a home is a good investment. DISTINCTIVE HOMES are homes of this kind. A seaside cottage, or a mountain camping lodge costing $500 may possess all these quali- ties, if properly planned. It is not what a house costs, but the forethought in planning, that determines its value. Into these Distinctive Homes have gone years of successful planning and building. The drawings for these homes were originally prepared for private customers at costs varying from $50.00 to $500.00 each. By purchasing a set of these plans and specifications you secure all the benefits of the original costly plans at merely a nominal price. The little rough cast English cottage shown here is of excellent design inside and out. Every care has been shown in the preparation of the plans for this house that could possibly be given those for a home many times as costly. The living room, dining room and hall in this house are finished in a soft gray stained effect and the bedroom and bathroom are finished in Old Ivory enamel. The walls in the front rooms are papered with a French Gray Blend with inlaid borders. The bathroom is tiled with old rose mat glazed, bordered with white; the shower room being tiled with the same material. The shower is fitted with a needle shower, automatic mixing valve and has a rod and curtain across the front. The sleeping porch is fitted with sliding windows and fully plastered and finished.

The living room runs through the entire depth of the house and a group of windows at either end make a light airy room. The breakfast nook in the kitchen is out of the ordinary in that the seats and table were especially designed and built for this home; the back and ends being made of rattan while the seats were made of quarter- sawed oak. The enclosed laundry room opening from the back porch gives room for laundry trays, gas, laundry plate, folding ironing board and The art of designing a home to suit the property and indi- vidual needs of the occupants has been given much more thought and study in recent years than ever before. The little Colonial home shown on this page was built for two sisters on a small site fronting one of Seattle’s scenic boulevards. The natural beauty of the design has been enhanced by the excellent taste shown by these ladies in the selection and arrangement of furnishings. The rooms are few but large, and are very conveniently arranged.

DISTINCTIVE HOMES PLAN No. 500 Page thirteen This example of the modification of the Colonial type to the one-story bungalow shows what can be done along this line. The arrangement is a straightforward and convenient one, and the design, both as to the exterior and interior, can hardly be improved upon for simple elegance. The living room, dining room, hall and chambers have oak floors; the bathroom floor is tile, — the bathroom fixtures are fairly elaborate, and the specifications call for the decoration of all the rooms in high grade blend wall paper and inlaid borders. The front porch is a combination of brick and tile. This plan permits the use of the space in the attic for two or three rooms, the stairway going up the side of the bathroom.

For this reason we show on the accompanying pages three alternative elevations of the same floor plans. We may go further and say that this floor plan is subject to considerable alteration without materially affecting the exterior. Plan No. 803 shown on Page 38, and Plan No. 803-A as shown on Page 39, are both excellent examples of the Colonial type of bungalow, while Plan No. 803-B, as shown on Page 2, is just as good an example of the English type. The doorway between the living and dining rooms could be changed into a wide arch opening so that when desired the living room, dining room, ingle room and sun room could be used for dancing purposes. I he little break- fast alcove adjoining the kitchen adds to the convenience of this arrangement, and the enclosed stairway to the basement with room for the refrigerator on the rear porch is also a great convenience. The rear bedroom is intended as a dressing room with the sleeping porch adjoining, and the room marked “Den” for general living purposes of a small family. This room could be arranged with a fireplace in one end. This house will cost with hot water heat , oak floors in the main rooms and generally good con- struction, $ 3500 .

This book is a recognition of the growing demand for simplicity in design and convenience in arrangement in houses. Many of the designs are of Colonial type. The popularity of bungalows and small houses of this type is growing, especially in the cooler localities and where it is desirable to secure all available sunshine and light. The costs quoted are based on good materials and first-class work- manship. Costs can be decreased or increased when so desired. Our plans and specifications are complete and explicit, particular at- tention being given to parts frequently overlooked by the most critical.
