My Air Conditioner (Condenser) is UGLY!

Do you think that your home could use a little extra external decor? Do you think that ugly metal thing on the side of the house that the gardeners destroy could use some sprucing up? I mean it's an air condtioner...but IF you would like to make it 'more beautiful' here are some webpages to check out. The first comes from the online version of New York Design Magazine titled "Hide This Ugly Thing" http://nymag.com/homedesign/features/48311/ Here they feature creative ways to hide window air conditioning units - I didn't realize that it was such a problem, but I guess it looks pretty cool with the extras they've added. My favorite is the reminder to use fabric that is "meshlike" and "lets air through"...seriously? They have to remind you of that? However, central air conditioning companies have taken that idea like 12 steps further. If you want your gorgeous house to have a beautiful condenser (the outside unit of an air conditioning system) you can now have that arranged. York, even offers on their website a format where you can choose the color of the outside of your house and try different colors on your condenser to see which one looks the best. http://www.yorkupg.com/homeowners/index.asp They even offer college team covers! So, if you are in the market for a 'pretty' air conditioner...you NOW know where to look.
