The Golden State: Where & How to Live, Secure, Visit, Enjoy and Thrive in California
Built In Cabinets And Storage Walls
 |  |  |
ORIGINALLY, THIS BEDROOM IN AN OLD HOUSE HAD NO CLOSETS AT ALL. THE DOOR AT THE LEFT OPENED INTO THE ATTIC STAIRWAY, WHICH WAS CLOSED OFF AND REPLACED BY A DISappearing stairway in the hall. This provided closet space for a man's suits, shoes and hats. At the right, a 30" deep section was taken off the entire width of the room and enclosed by sliding paneled doors. This made an extensive wardrobe for his wife's things and, in addition, there is enough drawer space to satisfy any woman. The chest, which the man hopes to enjoy exclusively, was actually remodeled from an old chifforobe. The center section is all that remains of the front.

Child's Storage Wall
THIS ATTRACTIVE CHILD'S STORAGE WALL IS JUST THE THING FOR FAMILIES WITH GROWING CHILDREN BECAUSE ORGANIZING THE CHILDREN'S BELONGINGS TEACHES THEM ORDERLINESS at an early age. It consists of two ceiling-high sections separated by a dressing table. In one section are deep drawers close to the floor to hold toys and games. These are topped by drawers and shelves in which mother can keep things best stored out of the reach of youngsters. On the other side is a wardrobe with an adjustable clothes rod which, like the dressing table, can be raised as the child grows.
The units are 1" lower than ceiling height. This permits them to be moved around, but they must be assembled in an upright position near where they are to go. To assemble the units, secure the sidepieces to the top. Then build from the bottom up, securing with glue and four- or sixpenny finishing nails.
