TWO-IN-ONE CHAIR

The two-iii-one easy chair is ideal for the small room, as one can secure all the advantages,of two different pieces of furniture in the space required for one The chair has an upholstered stool front that ‘goes flush against the front edge. Placed thus, the chair becomes a comfortable full-length lounge, restful and delightful. In a moment the stool front can be pulled away, leaving the chair free, and providing an extra seat if necessary. It is not difficult to make one of these chair-lounges from an ordinary easy chair- and a big wooden box. Be sure that the box just fits across the chair front. It can either be covered all round with material to match the upholstery, or else you could enamel it some pretty shade to tone with the rest of the appointments. A flat cushion, like a small mattress, goes on top. To make this: Cut two squares of hessian, the size of the boxtor> with an extra inch all round for turnings, and join these together with a strip of material about three inches wide and long enough to go right round. Leave a small opening, and stuff the cushion very firmly and tightly with kapok or similar filling—wood-shavings are very satisfactory for the purpose.
