Don't forget lots of pillows in
a number of shapes and sizes
to finish off a perfectly made
bed.
If you're working on a budget,
the price of a designer bedding
ensemble, matching wall-cover-
ings, custom window treatments
and the accessories to polish off
a look just might cause you to
swoon. You may want to check
discount stores and more af-
fordable outlets for similar styles
with or without the designer
name.
Kmart offers a complete line
of current, well-designed bedding
collections along with the wall-
paper, pillows, fabric and other
accessories. There's even an "At
Home With Martha Stewart"
collection designed by the tele-
vision/lifestyle personality.
You also can save money by
making the window coverings,
pillows and other finishing
touches yourself. You need not
be a pro — many styles require
a minimum of effort or even no
sewing knowledge at all.
FUNCTION FRIENDLY
Now that you've created such
a wonderfully inviting room, use
it! If you have a little extra space
in the "master suite," turn a lit-
tle corner into a respite and re-
laxation area all of your own.
• Enhance your health and
reduce stress by creating a con-
venient little workout area. Set
up a stationary bicycle, stair-step
or rowing machine and make no
excuses for "not making it to the
gym•
• Place a small desk or sec-
retary and chair against a wall
and make a quiet place to man-
age your finances or finish the
extra paperwork you brought
home from the office.
• Set up two chairs and a lit-
tle table so busy couples can read
the paper and enjoy coffee or tea
together, if only on the weekends.
• There's nothing more luxu-
rious than a comfortable chaise
lounge and a lamp for late-night
reading sessions.

Pull Out Bikes,
Lock In Safety
It's time to dust off the bicycle,
don a helmet, pull up the kick-
stand, and enjoy pedaling in the
fresh breezes.
In Michigan, children are do-
ing just that; but unfortunate-
ly some bikers are unaware of
how to ride safely.
Should we be concerned? Yes.
Eighteen bicyclists under 15
died statewide in 1993 — 62 per-
cent of the 29 bicycle deaths in
Michigan that year.
Part of the difficulty is inac-
curate perception. Young riders
sometimes misjudge the speed
of oncoming vehicles. Young rid-
ers can reduce the risk of crash-
es with cars by following these
guidelines.
* Be cautious when entering
roadways from driveways and
alleys. Remember to slow down,
stop and look for traffic.
* Ride with traffic on the
right-hand side of the street.
* Stop at stop signs.
* Obey traffic signals and
watch for turning vehicles.
* Signal before turning and
look before changing lanes.
Parents can play a key role in
helping children ride safely. For
safe fun, here are a few re-
minders for bicyclists:
* Riders should always wear
helmets! About 80 percent of the
bicycle deaths involve head in-
juries. Fewer than 2 percent of
children regularly wear helmets.
* Coach children before they
move from sidewalk to street rid-
ing to make sure they can do so
safely. They should know the
"Rules of the Road" for bicycling
safely, the risks of sharing the
road with motor vehicles and
demonstrate the judgment and
maturity necessary for safe rid-
ing.
* Inspect bicycles to make
sure the brakes and tires are in
good condition.
* Make sure bicycles are sized
properly to children. In a traffic
situation, children may have dif-
ficulty controlling a bicycle that
is too big. ❑
