Kathleen and Alan Hamilton at 6232 McPherson have conquered the challenge of making a once-dreary, large old home into a gorgeous place to live which reflects their personalities and life style. This is the third home the Hamiltons have owned in Parkview.

In order to give the first floor a lift from the dreary, no-light appearance, a section of the second floor above the living room was taken out which now forms an atrium full of light and space.

The kitchen, open and free-flowing, has a great contemporary design consisting of the best appliances, designer ceramic floor tile, and personally designed cabinets.

The decorating, done by Mrs. Hamilton, is very cheerful and stunning. Wallpaper, window and floor treatment were chosen very carefully in order to make this home what the Hamil- ‘tons thought it should be and still reflect the family’s life style.

Many things can be said about the Hamiltons’ home, but one thing for sure, it has a contemporary beauty that cannot be forgotten. M.J.C.
