When it’s possible we try to apply these simple rules…

Reuse ~~~ Recycle ~~~ Restore ~~~

Reuse grandma’s old chair or sofa or salvage something from a second hand or antique store. Chances are the frame is in vogue again and we can help you find the perfect new fabric if it needs recovering! Maybe you can see the potential in your stuff and you need us to come in and “redesign” your space with what’s existing. We think you can reuse where possible and fill in where needed.

Recycle if you are remodeling or redecorating think of the waste or unwanted décor in a new way… Recycle some of those items as new art repurpose in another room the house. I.e. tearing out old cabinets can often get a few more years in the garage. We have used old solid doors as bookshelves and wall paneling. Old mirrors can take new life with just adding some flat stock molding. Also giving gently worn appliances and pluming fixture to Habitat for Humanity can give them much needed donations and you a tax right off!

Restore your health by using low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and sustainable materials in your next remodel. Paints and adhesives are the biggest contributor to off-gassing in a room. When painting or adding new flooring think about asking for low or No VOC. VOC’s Off gassing toxins that we breath in and sometimes have harmful side effects. This is one of the biggest contributing factors to our children’s high rate of asthma and allergies. We can help specify environmentally responsible flooring, furnishings, textiles and yes even paint in your next redesign. This is especially important in nurseries and kid spaces or even aging individuals.

KEEP IT CLEAN, KEEP IT GREEN, KEEP IT ENVI!!!
