Large Pieces: Most of the accessories stick strongly to the cream scheme, but one or two metallic pieces have been added to pick up the light. Using metallic pieces is a good way to weave variety into a mono-colour room. They won't jar like coloured pieces, but they do break up the one-shade monotony.
Whereas large pieces-sized toys can be put safely out of the way on shelves or stood in a corner when playtime is over, there is always a need to confine small toys and games somewhere safe, especially if there are component pieces that could easily become lost if left lying about on the floor. For a lightweight toy box, use 'Am (1 2mm) plywood. However, if a large pieces, robust box is needed, then it is best to use Kin (1 8mm) blockboard instead.
In the same period, but in southern New England, other cabinetmakers were producing equally handsome and distinctive American pieces, known as block-front furniture. Its design is without any direct English prototype. As the name indicates, the fronts of such pieces have a triple formation in which the outer projecting blocks flank a central recessed one, thus dividing the area into three continuous vertical panels of equal width. With elaborate examples the panels are surmounted by large pieces carved shells, the central one incised and the flanking ones raised. |
