Tonight I found the last page of the article on the Nutwood House. I will continue to work with the clarity but for now this is what I could do.
This page reads:
Home on a Quiet Country Lane
(Continued From, Page 17)
in curtains and other incidental appointments. A built-in electric range and wall oven provide the utmost in modern equipment. The room is softly lit without glare by means of concealed lights, in a trough spanning the length of the room.
A SLIDING DOOR separates the kitchen from the entry. The entry achieves considerable interest by means of the brick wall which is actually the side of the living room fireplace.
To the left of the entry is the kitchen and beyond that, also accessible from the hall is the living-dining area. A turn to the right leads to a short and gaily decorated hallway to the three bedrooms.
The first bedroom, one divided by the fireplace wall from the living room, is the Lindgrens' teen-age daughter's room. This pleasing room enjoys a sweeping view of the garden and orange trees through its plate glass floor-to-ceiling windows.
This room, which one day will be converted to a den, is currently enjoying the textural interest lent it by the "semiwall" of brick that is actually the back with an eye to the future, the architects cannily provided a niche next to this structure where a fireplace may be easily built into the den. With this to mind, a chimney for this future fireplace has already been built into the house.
Their daughter's room has been carried out in turquoise, coca and white.
The master bedroom also facing the back of the lot, is decorated predominantly in shades of sky blue. The third bedroom is yellow.
A clever feature is an idea dreamed up by Mrs. Lindgren - was to paper the hallway in a lively Tree of Life pattern, that happened to employ all the colors used in the three bedrooms as well as the deep rose used for the two baths. A whimsical note was added when Mrs. Lindgren requested the painters to paint the hall doors leading to the bedrooms turquoise, blue and yellow, respectively. The two bathroom doors are pink.
Now the problem of directing guests to the master bedroom or the bath has been reduced to utmost simplicity. Their inquiries are answered with a simple, "Go to the blue doors," or "Walk to the first pink door down the hall."
