The Bite:
Are your pad's walls and floors a big turnoff? Natural Interiors can help you whip them into model condition. NI sells everything a house could need – from wool carpeting (nice for those photo shoots in front of the fireplace) to bamboo cabinets to hemp window treatments. It's all made with sustainable materials that won't off-gas VOCs. Tomorrow, NI's got a workshop on sprucing up your walls with American Clay Natural Earth Plaster. Even nonhandy types can effortlessly slather it on with a trowel for a textured look in rich, earthy colors (see photo). And if you make a mistake, just spritz it with water and rework for a different effect – you won't have to take it all off.

Wanna Try: 
Natural Interiors, 3855 Wadsworth Blvd., Wheat Ridge. Map It (303-424-0606). American Clay class, Feb. 28, 2 pm; call to reserve space. American Clay, $71-$118/50 pounds (covers 200 square feet); application equipment rental, $35.

Cocktail Fact

In 1959, Playboy’s Playmates of the Month received $500; now they pull in $25,000.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters use low- or no-VOC paint alternatives instead of the conventional stuff, we’ll keep enough toxic paint out of our homes to fill an Olympic-size pool.
