The Box Room

Few New Zealand homes have that romantic treasure of European houses —an attic, with its old store-boxes, its shelves laden with old books, ornaments and pictures and surprises. Thus in many places those old treasures, hard to part with, yet equally hard to find a place for in an up-to-date room, lie about in all sorts of inconvenient places, needing - frequent cleaning and movingA box-r»om is practically a necessity in a house, holding as it does, all such things, in addition to the family’s trunks and suit cases and boxes. But often a bedroom develops into merely an ugly lumber-room. To avoid that, wooden racks, easily made by the handy man or woman, should be built to hold things neatly and to conserve the floor space for larger goods.
