Can be quick change artist
Picture a room that's totally
beige - carpet, wall and sofas..
Then imagine a tall black urn
standing in the corn..r and strik-
ing ebony accents scattered
around.
Quick -change! That same
room in now a bloom with ac-
" cessories in romantic pastels. A•
peach tone vase sits on one
• table. Dramatically grouped on
another is a bevy of bowls,
• boasting silk pastel bouquets, .
With just a little bit of imag-.
ination, you can visualize the
very different sense of each
room, created by the presence of
accessories and the effect of their
colors.
Th.:. first and most luting ira-
pression of a room most often is
its color. One tends to recall an
oasis of calm after leaving a
roomscape of neutral tones. A
cheerful yellow room will be re-
membered as bathed in sunlight.
A few striking accessories or
dramatic groupings will trans-
form the color scheme or mood
of a room more easily and inex-
pensively than any other catego-
ry of furnishing, and you can
feel up-to-date without having
had to make a major invest-
ment.
Start" with the basics, .Then,
build and change with accessory
accents. Actually, that is the se-
cret of the bet dressed women,

More serious contaminants
may also be contaminating your
home. Tobacco smoke, for in-
stance, contains over 3,000 con-
taminants which can create res-
piratory irritations and • long—
term health effects, even among
nonsmokers.
Formaldehyde, asbestos fibers,
radon, carbon monoxide, sulfcr
dioxide and nitrogen dioxide gas-
es all adversely affect the body.
The floating particles you sec
in the air arc only the tip of the
iccherg - most air -borne particles
arc too small to see.
Switch to a better environ-
ment this spring by installing
an electronic air cleaner to im-
prove indoor air quality in your
home. They arc available in
room, central and duct -mounted
models to provide clean air
throughout your home.
Range of contaminants
Experts say the pollution lev
el in homes is 10 to 20 times
greater than that experienced
outside. Contaminants include
seemingly innocuous things
such as plant spores; pet dander,
cooking sinoke, mildew and
pollen.
