On January 14, 2009, Metronews - The World's Largest Global Newspaper - announced a new condominium that will soon be filling up in Plazacorp’s King West called Liberty Village. It was great news to hear everything about the condominium units and the pictures want to make you go there just to visit.

But, the biggest part about the new condominium units is the fact that the designers Bryon Patton, Enid MacIntosh and Lorraine Leung chose Ventless Gel Fireplaces to install. Now, that's what I'm talking about!

Easy to install and very accommodating for apartments, condominiums, campers and just about anything else that normally isn't very accommodating to fireplaces. It's great to have the warmth and the crackling of the fireplace in the background while you read a book, talk to family, do your work and otherwise enjoy your home.

I have always said that no home should be without a fireplace. But, the problem is that traditional fireplaces pose obstacles when it comes to proper ventilation for condominiums. The upside is that you should be able to enjoy a fireplace no matter where you live. If you live in a tree house, you should be able to enjoy a fireplace.

Don't get me started! There's a tree house guide where Patrick Fulton tells people how he put a fireplace in his tree house. But looking at his design, it would be much easier just to install a Ventless Gel Fireplace and be done with it.

Hey, I'm thinking of some more DIY projects for everyone to try if you want. So, send me some ideas and I'll put them with mine. We'll have a good year doing all sorts of things.

Where in the world would I be without VGF (Ventless Gel Fireplace for the newbies)?

Well, it begins with a phone call the other morning. It was an emergency interior design job. Now, I've got to be honest with you. There was a time when I laughed at the idea of an interior design emergency.

I mean, I've seen my father have to jet out the door for a construction emergency. When inspections didn't go right, my father would get the call. "Hey Dan, can you come fix a job that another construction company created?"

And off he went. It was money. It was opportunity. He never turned anyone down. It could be midnight and he would answer a call if it was an emergency. One time, a house caught on fire and 911 was called. Firemen showed up and there was considerable damage. Windows had been broken. Holes had been burned in the walls.

There goes my father. Pulling an all-nighter to do a patch job so the family could get some kind of rest after their long and traumatic evening. Then, he returned to do the job right so that the family wouldn't be uncomfortable for too long. Now, that's the way I try to be.

But, a home interior design emergency? I never knew one existed.

Oh, but they do. I finally found out and I will never laugh again.

We're talking wedding. Thousands of dollars have already been spent. The entire event is set in motion and the home interior designer is nowhere to be found.

One day! The wedding is in one day...

I know. Why would anyone wait until the last minute to call another interior designer?

Well, here's how that goes: The interior designer had everything she needed. She was ready to go and she had made arrangements to bring it all in the day before the wedding and set things up by that evening. It was one of those things that happen by chance, nothing was going her way.

She was returning home from another job that morning and was stuck in traffic with no way of turning around or getting off the highway. They had to remove a Mack Truck from the center of the highway. We're talking full-scale logistical nightmare. A four-lane highway full of traffic on both sides. Service vehicles had a heck of a time trying to get through.

Hours later and the interior designer's car heats up in the middle of stalled traffic. So, she becomes the second liability in the situation. Ok, you get the picture. It just wasn't happening that she was going to be able to be there.

So, I scope the place. I take a look at the theme. Then, the magic begins. As I always say in my articles and reports, use your imagination. It's a wonderful thing.

So, I start writing ideas down. We're talking the whole-nine yards and outside to boot. Oh by the way, I checked the weather and it was going to be nice. The yard was open. I talked to the bride's mother and the bride. They loved the idea of doing it outside. That made things easier.

How many? 250

Atlas, Table Rentals and Chair Rentals - it seems they already had the order ready... "Well, bring them out!"

"Now!"

"Well, when were you going to bring them?"

"Tomorrow."

"Ok then. What kind are they?"

And that's how the conversation started. I learned quite a bit more about the original designers plans and it turned out that I could get most of it. But, I did need a way to make it all outside.

Lowe's Turncraft Colonial Round Smooth Wood Columns, eight of them in fact. Four for each side...looked great with the floral decorations and the fabric I strung between them.

Stage Rental NYC with skirt and a riser. Put the Bride and Groom on stage. A few small trees for the corners and the stage was set...forgive the pun.

I was thinking gazebo, but I had to stop myself. They can get expensive. So, I slowed myself down and grabbed a seat. Picturing the stage in my head, I wanted something for the bride and groom when they stand in front of the minister.

Boom! It hit me. VGF has Garden Arbors...that would be perfect.

The greatest thing about it all is that the father of the bride started getting ideas of his own. He approved the columns because he said he wanted to build a pool house and he could memorialize his first daughter's wedding.

He approved the garden arbor because he said it wasn't that expensive to begin with. He would place it in the yard by the pool house and be able to remember the big day every time he looked at it.

So, nothing went to waste. That's green. I always love when things can be used and reused.

The wedding went off without a hitch. Everyone was so happy about the way things worked out that the other interior designer didn't suffer any damages to her reputation or her business. She took a loss though when she was stuck with everything she had purchased for the wedding.

Jessica to the rescue once more. I told her that I would give her a call as soon as I had a job where she could use all that stuff. So, she'll make out just fine too.
