Improving Home Improvement(s)
by American Way Staff
FIX UP THE HOUSE
It used to be that spring fever was all about romance
and road trips. Now you lust after power tools and lose sleep over
your home's annoying little foibles. (When you end up in Home Depot
for the third time in three fine spring days, you'll know what
we're talking about.) But you can make all those home improvements
a little easier this year with the help of these new products. How
easy? Well, you can cross window washing right off your
spring-cleaning list. - Tracy Staton
AIRFLOW REGISTER BOOSTER
FAN> Every house has a vent or
two that behaves like a rebellious teenager and refuses to perform
like the rest of the system. AirFlow uses a plug-in fan to pull
extra warm or cool air out of weak registers. Unlike a teen,
AirFlow runs at the speed you select - and it's energy-efficient.
$60. www.smarthome.com
ILLUSION MOVING ART
FLAT-SCREEN-TV DISGUISE> Your LCD television looked perfect at first, but now
you'd like to camouflage that dead gray screen. Illusion
Moving Art frames your TV like artwork, and at the flick of
the remote, a giclée overlay - in the print of your choice -
scrolls down to cover the screen. Higher-end versions tilt
and swivel the TV for angled viewing. From $3,950. www.mediadecor.com
