A Suburban House and Garden
" the orchard," harrow : the drawing-room arnold mitchell, architect
setting to the home which is the ideal to be
sought for.
If we now turn to the house we shall find,
that though in reality small, it conveys an im-
pression of spaciousness and comfort which
is really remarkable. This is due to much
thought and care in arrangement, as well as
various devices in planning which all combine
to bring about this effect.
In the dining-room a sideboard recess is
not only a pleasing feature, but it adds space
to the room in an unobtrusive way just where it
is wanted. It is a typical instance of the
successful architectural treatment of a neces-
sary household detail brought into the general
scheme of decoration. The juxtaposition of
dining- and drawing-rooms, with a 4-ft. double
door between them, gives a total length of some
60 ft., terminating in a delightful little alcove
window, in which the skill of the craftsman
has had full play and the Glass-stainers Company
have carried out a really fine piece of work.
This window is, in fact, the spot to which the
eye is at once drawn, the culminating point
