Model Bungalow
to Furnish Ideas
for Home Seekers
T. H. Maenner C o m p a n \
Builds Home and Orchard
Wilhelin Furnish and
Decorate It.
In order to show what possibilities
there to malting a house a real home,
T. H. Maenner of the T. H. Maenner
company, Omaha I.oan and Building
Association building, has built a home
at 4622 AVilliam street and opened' It
for inspection.
Orchard & Wilhelm company have
provided the furnishings for the pl$ce
and have executed a pleasing color
scheme throughout.
The home is a live-room bungalow
The size was determined by the In
creasing demand for places of this
size. It is to be open for inspection
from 2 to 5 every afternoon. Not
only has the place been furnished
completely inside, hut the grounds
have been landscaped as well.
Attention Given Details.
Working upon the theory that a
home depends not only upon the
architect's drawings, but also upon
the decorations, the place has been
fitted out with attention to minutest
detail. Kveryfhing from a door
knocker to pretty little candle sticks
lias been set in place.
In a email bouse, the designers say.
the choice of decorations and place
ment of furniture Is as Important as
In the most pretentious mansion. In
it large place, for Instance, a chair
may he misplaced and still escape no
tice because of the size of the roomw
In a small place everything is eo "in
front of the eyes of everyone'* that
a misplaced chair or an unharmo
nlous color scheme Is Immediately no
tlgeable.
Colors In Draperies.
The most pronounced colors In the
general scheme of things in the little
bungalow are obtained by the use of
draperies. A paper -with an antique
Ivory background has been chosen
for the walls of the living and dining
rooms. U'hc bedrooms are done in
soft grays and yellows.
Particular attention, as in most
Maenner homes, ^tas been given to the
placing of doors and windows. The
maximum amount of light and von
Illation la obtained with ft minimum
sacrifice of wall apace. Every detail
to make the place attractive has been
cared for.
The place la well worth looking
over. Home owners ns well as those
who are seeking a new place in which
to live can find many suggestions in
the little house on William street.
