The other day we received a little gem in the mail.  To our delight it was from a local Tucson company called ‘Originate’ (http://www.originatenbm.com/). They specialize in eco-friendly natural building materials.  And hey since were remodeling our house completely we decided to check em out on our day off.  So that’s what we did!  They were profiling this ecosmart fireplace…and Eric was instantly in LOVE.  I think he loves them more then me @ the moment. Ha. No seriously.  We’ve been searching for a cleaver solution for our empty brick old fireplace. Their eco-friendly because they’re fueled by renewable modern energy called ‘denatured ethanol’.  Burns clean & is maintenace free. Ethanol is an absolute alcohol, produced by fermentation of sugars orginating from agricultural & forestry products; mainly sugarcane, potatoes, bananas, beetroot and recently from cereals such as wheat.  It’s also greenhouse compliant which results in clean emissions.  Wowie…now we just have to save the big bucks for ours & how do we decide on a favorite.  What’s your’s?  Click on the images below to be taken to the site.
