The Comfortable & Elegant Sofa Trend
Comfortable elegance is the new trend in sofas and upholstery today. Sofas are designed with deep, downy seats and luxuriously-soft fabrics that beg you to sit. Beautiful Old World styling and rich woods make a fashion statement to fit in the casual family room or formal living room. Many sofas and chairs are now seen with touches of wood accents in a variety of finishes, making the sofa look anything from rustic to French provincial. For a large selection of quality sofas visit Douglas Furniture in Newhall. 255-8366

The Prettiest Pantry
Boasting a windowed beverage and snack fridge, as well as a combo of open shelving and smart cabinetry, you can show off what you want - and hide the rest. The most clever addition to this pantry by Randal G. Winter Construction, Inc., though, is the little cat door built right in. Kitty can gain easy access to a secret well-ventilated "cat-room," where a litter box is hidden out of sight (And smell!).
