Miake your kitchen functional,

THE DAYS of endless hours ir the
kitchen are virtually gone.

Today's kitchen is a model of
efficiency. flexibility. and fashion
flair, directly reflecting the chane-
ing role of women in society.

Borrowing from the Scandina-
vian sensitivity for useful space,
North American designers have
turned the kitchen into an in-
credibly functional, yet visibly ap-
pealing living and ‘doing’ space.

Efficient kitchens feature clean,
crisp lines and brightly color coor-
dinated accessories that change the
face of cooking. For example
pearl-grey laminate cabinets can be
edged in white and appropriately
adorned with imported polished
chrome handles.

SPACE AND STYLE

In sharp contrast, a jet black,
two-tiered ceramic tile counter top
provides ample working surface
for food preparation.

The lower tier wraps around the
kitchen peninsula creating both a
lunch counter and an_ intimate
corner for kitchen romantics who
prefer dining in close quarters.

Not an inch of space is wasted,
yet the added greenery gives the
area a feeling of open air.

While the counter and cabinets
create contrast, the careful selec-
tion of floor covering, both design
and material, further lessen the
drama, adding an element of
warmth to the area.

Vinyl floors reflect one of the
most significant trends in today’s
kitchen design, both for construc-
tion and aesthetic purposes.

CUSHIONED VINYL

Soft gray vinyl flooring is the
perfect ‘‘bridge’’ between black
ceramic counter tops and the stark

grey of the cabinets.

The geometric design of the
flooring helps to offset the abun-
dance of straight lines and right
angles created by cahinets and
counters.

The carefree maintenance and
resilience of cushioned flooring,
along with the stunning range of

patterns and colors avaiiabie,
make it the ideal choice for the
kitchea.

The three basic elements of the
kitchen: the cabinets, the counter
top, and the flooring, are perfectis
punctuated by a variety of ac-
cessories, giving the space that
final sense of well-thought out

Sales & Service

WESTCON CONCRETE PAVERS create drama but the real story lies
in their enduring character. Westcon pavers actually withstand greater
weight loads with more durability than oramary paving methods. They
can be lifted and relaid for access to underground services or alternations.
And because they interlock in a flexible process without mortar, they won't
crack under frost heaves or uneven settlement.

Wesicon Pavers

The unique interlocking concrete paver — in various shapes
and colours. Ideal for patios and driveways. Do it yourself

or have it done.

Also: A wide range of planters in plain concrete or expos-
ed aggregate. Japanese lanterns, bird baths, stepping-

stones, etc.
