I envision a bed/sitting room and a fully accessible bathroom. I hear that elec-fully accessible bathroom. I hear that elec-fully accessible bathroom. I hear that elec tric fireplaces don't need a chimney but will heat. Any suggestions? -- Lou Dear Lou; Lucky grandparents … coming for a visit is always special. And when you need a break to recharge, there will be a home away from home that makes a perfect re- treat. I am guessing that your visitor lineup is going to grow! I have just come back from an exciting interior design show, IDS 2019, and was amazed at the new fireplace offerings. Clever technology mixed with a focus on environmentally friendly energy consump- tion is creating big change in this field. The biggest leap in visual appeal is showing up in electric fireplaces. Keeping pace with the contemporary, streamlined esthetic, there are inset models that stretch out horizontally and vertically. You will spend more to get all the mod cons, such as co- loured flames, a choice of back panels, burner options that look like coal, cut glass chunks, and traditional logs, and remote control. Modern Flames has a steam elec- tric fireplace called FusionFire, that gives the natural, three-dimensional flame of real fire by using water and electricity. The smoke is actually mist, which is not only beautiful to watch, but adds a source of humidity. It works with man- ual fill or direct plumbing. www.modernflames.com. Up next for Modern Flames is a battery-operated electric log set. The Sunset Charred Oak log set uses the same batteries as an electric car, perfect for fireplaces where an electric outlet is not con- venient. Written by Debbie Travis and Barbara Dingle.
