Girl's Room
"Girl's own room above accommodates an overnight
guest on slide-out bed beneath ruffled four-poster...Pink wall
paneling is washable laminate with raspberry red splines covering
seams, to match colors of youthfully patterned curtains. Compact
ready-made units under windows convert to supports for sewing
machine, typewriter, small ironing board."

The poor girl didn't
even get a real bed, but at least she's got her own room while
her brothers are doubled up next door.

Here's the right-hand
compact ready-made unit swung out and ready for action. Presumably
it's a Singer. Note the pink pushbutton Princess phone under the
paper/fabric light shade. The sewing chair looks like it could
have come out of Frank Lloyd Wright's furniture design for his
Johnson Wax building in Racine Wisconsin.

"The vanity dresser is the principal innovation of
this room. Swung open on double hinges, it lights automatically
to reveal an array of primping accouterments guaranteed to delight
feminine hearts of any age, including a wardrobe mirror and swing-away
shelves impervious to cosmetics. Whether this room is being used
for work, study, or telephoning, it can return to a delightful
private retreat in that split second between hair combing and
catching the school bus." -Leo Jiranek, designer

Children's Bathroom
|
"Children's bath at right adjoins both their rooms.
As in the master bath, mirror-covered corner shelves flank twin
basins set in spacious countertop. Visible in mirror: paneled
tub-shower."
