One of the changes made is that of large windows on the west and north sides of the room, one affording a lovely view of the outdoor living room and fish pond, the other to the north and giving a great view of the city. These windows have curtains especially selected and carrying out rural settings in the designs. The kitchen has the latest type electric stoves and all steel enameled cabinets on both the east and west sides of the kit chen. The kitchen has the latest and most modern of electric effects on both walls and ceiling.
