By BARBARA TAYLOR BRADFORD Los Angeles Times Service Breathing new life into an old-fashioned room is challenging, but it can also be exciting and. in the long run, most rewarding.

The secret is to approach it with a positive attitude and a perfect plan. Both are essential if you want to create a successful room. A positive attitude springs from knowing exactly the effect you want to create; a perfect plan evolves from a careful analysis of the room and the furnishings it requires to function correctly. The right attitude and the right plan will help you to avoid big mistakes. An old-fashioned room, be it in a house, a brownstone or an apartment building, often has many advantages from a decorating point of view.

This is because most rooms in older dwellings generally have interesting architectural overtones that give them special character. A high ceiling, soaring windows, a fireplace or unusual dimensions are some of these elements, and all lend themselves to interesting treatments, and permit you to create some unique effects that would not be possible in a standard modern room. Take the living room of this brownstone, for example. It was remodeled on a budget and decorated in the same vein. The owners decided to turn some of the old-fashioned characteristics to advantage.

They took a modern approach and in so doing introduced some stunning contemporary effects in the old shell. They began by removing the fireplace. They tore out the old-fashioned mantlepiece and hearth, then raised the actual fireplace so that it sits high in the center of the wall. The fireplace then was treated to a brick surround The same bricks were utilized above it and to cover the adjoining side walls. They fulfill the rustic mood and make this main wall a center of eye interest.

The next step was the installation of a new floor. This is made of ordinary plywood in 4x4 squares, turned at angles to each other so that the grain makes a pattern. It then was sanded and finished. This was done for budget reasons, but it also is striking as well, and is an interesting background for the large modern area rug made of easy care Antron nylon from Sweetwater Carpets. In rich browns and soft golds, it has a custom-tufted look that adds This room retains much of its old-fashioned flavor.

The contemporary lines of the updated fireplace combine well with the texture of the old brick. The new plate glass windows add to the contemporary effect. textural interest to the floor. Old-fashioned, double-hung windows were replaced with plate glass for a contemporary feeling, and a long low window seat was added. This houses the air conditioner and radiator and provides extra seating.

Wall-hung shelves of modern design were hung between the two windows, and these help to balance their height while making an effective display center for artifacts and accessories. A modern sola, chairs and coffee table just visible in foreground were grouped against the wall lacing the fireplace and form the main seating arrangement. Old pieces, garnered from thrift and junk shops, were added to sollen the modern approach and ate also budget wise. Stephens Gargiulo Janene G.

(AP) Major appliances are a significant investment, so when the time comes to replace a refrigerator or to buy your first one, knowing what to look for can pay dividends. Begin by asking questions of yourself or others so you can determine your needs objectively, suggests the Consumers Institute of General Electric here.

Begin with the size of your family. Will it grow, remain stable, or will older children begin "leaving the nest" in a year or two? What style of refrigerator will you want? In top-freezer models the freezers are eye-level and are the same width as the fresh food section, generally from 28 to 33 inches. In sideby-side models, the freezer section is narrower, but extends from top to bottom of the unit. Side-by-side models offer easy access to frequently-used items from both fresh food and freezer section. Harrison Stott Mr.
