A greenhouse filled with flowering plants, the atmosphere pleasant with the scent of green growth and fragrant bloom, is always attractive. But there are some easy ways to make it even prettier, and if you plan to use part of it as an extension of your living room, perhaps as a dining area or just a place with chairs where you can rest occasionally, you will treat that section in a special way.

The hobby greenhouse of today is a far cry from its prototype, the old-fashioned stove house which was used mainly to winter-over tender decorative plants or to grow tropical citrus and other fruits. Now, a greenhouse makes possible not only a colorful year-round garden but it may be a means to health and an escape from the turmoil of business; it may become a family-room or a place for entertaining . . . and always for fun. No longer a luxury but a possibility for most home owners, the modern greenhouse serves your own particular purpose.
