programmable floor vent

ventmiser programmable floor ventHave a room you don’t always use? Running in and out to open and close the vents to adjust the heating and air conditioning? Make life easier and save some energy — yours and the Earth’s — with a Vent-Miser.

This battery-operated, programmable vent has two weekday and two weekend programs. Set it up to turn off the air flow wheneven you want to, without having to always remember to do it yourself!

Best for wooden and darker floors, since, despite my pretty picture, it’s only available in brown.

Available at: The Home Depot

Price: $29.99

the perfect desktop fan

allairedeskfan3 the perfect desktop fanJust in the nick of time! This summer hasn’t been that seriously hot, at least not for days on end, but I really dislike Toronto`s hot, humid summers. So I’ve been intending to buy a little desktop fan for, oh, the past 10 summers, and when I dropped into a Restoration Hardware store and saw a brushed nickel beauty, it felt like karma.

My apartment is already well equipped with two much-appreciated ceiling fans (I refuse to get air conditioning), but when I spied the Allaire fan that day in the store, I knew it was the one I had to have. Am I thrilled with it? You bet! The heat be damned!

The Allaire also comes in a black finish and Restoration Hardware`s very pretty trademark Silver Sage.
