We sit in the cozy warmth of our family rooms feeling snug and quite proud that we are "doing our bit" by using the blue boxes for recyclable waste â€" not entirely true. While we sit gloating in front of our blazing wood fire, we are totally oblivious of what is going up our chimneys and into the cold night sky.

Just multiply your modest little wood fire by hunâ€" dreds of thousands just in the "Golden Horseshoe" conservation, and you would finish up with the sum product of a couple of coalâ€"burning power staâ€" tions, a steel mill, and probably an oil refinery thrown in for good measure. Can we reverse this acrid assault on Mother Nature and still enjoy our fireplace? â€" We certainly can. Thanks to the combined efforts of the gas companies, gas appliance manufacturers, and gas fireplace dealâ€" ers over the past few years, there are now a wide selection of aesthetically pleasing gas fires. A lot of them are so realistic, it is almost impossible to distinguish them from a wood fire. Of all the fossil fuels, natural gas is the cleanest, cheapest, safest and, of course, the kindest to our fragile enviâ€" ronment. Gas fires can be installed easily (by licensed personnel) into existing fireplaces, or even rooms and homes that don‘t have a fireplace. Let‘s make this final decade of the century a turning point, so we can herald the next one with cleaner air, and healthy forests and lakes; probaâ€" bly the best legacy we can leave our children, and the garden we should all be tending â€" the Earth.

Multiâ€"colored paint good alternative for wallpaper A decorator looking for an alternaâ€" tive to wallpaper can choose from countless faux finishes including: ragâ€" ging, sponging, marbleizing, smooshâ€" ing, and striped wall finishes. Add to that list "multiâ€"color paint‘‘. Multiâ€"color paint is a relatively new interior finish that is quickly becoming a favorite among profesâ€" sional interior decorators and doâ€"itâ€" yourselfers. Multiâ€"color paint is a susâ€" pension of paint drops, with a variety of colors coâ€"existing in one can. Unlike standard paints, which have all their ingredients carefully blended to create a uniform texture and color, multiâ€"color paints appear separated in the can.

Here, the decorator can choose two to five colors from a color palette and vary the content of each color to achieve the desired result. The possible uses of multiâ€"color paint are as limitless as the color choices. Most of these products are applied by an airless spray system, which allows them to cover almost any surface. Obvious areas, like accent walls and hallways, are just the beginning of the possibilities. Because of its sprayed texture, it can be used to cover brick, concrete block, or other rough surfaces and give them a more uniform appearâ€" ance. Outdated bathroom tiles can be brought into the 90s by camouflaging them with multiâ€"color paint in more current hues. Some multiâ€"color paints are carefully blended to recreate natuâ€" ral textures like granite, making them ideal choices to enhance plain fireâ€" place mantles or decorative columns. Multiâ€"color paint has many advanâ€" tages over traditional wallcoverings like wallpaper. Because it is sprayed on, it has a smooth, consistent finish completely devoid of seams, peeling corners, or pattern repeats. Multiâ€" color paint is resistant to dirt and stains and stands up to frequent scrubâ€" bings. A difficult surface to scratch or chip makes it perfect for high traffic areas like hallways, bathrooms, playâ€" rooms, and offices. Ease of application and mainteâ€" nance gives multiâ€"color paint an ecoâ€" nomical advantage over wallpaper as well. It is applied quickly using proâ€" fessional airless spray equipment and gives a surface a textured appearance without any physical texture. It leaves a flat surface that can easily be repainted at a later date. Contributed by David Wilkins, Certa ProPainters, 825â€"8261.
