Home & Garden...

Here's what I've been reading this week that's fresh and worth knowing in the green building / green home realm..

Distressed furniture post: Two actually. If you click that link, you'll see one link to a post regarding why distressed furniture is a great design plan, and on the landing page, you'll see a great how-to about creating your own distressed furniture. I love distressed furniture, because it's a great way to incorporate reuse, and it also looks great. I bookmarked this one.

Six ways to save the planet: ok, not totally green home related, however, this news has been circulating lately so why not bring it here. Also, if global warming kills the planet, you won't need green building advice anyhow, now will you? Basically, if you haven't heard of Nicholas Stern and his six point plan to save the planet, now you can read all about it.

Architect Michael Jantzen Replacing Smoke Stacks With Power Towers - long title, cool post. I LOVE Jantzen. I did a couple of pieces about him at Offbeat Homes and he is a very cool guy, with fresh architectural ideas. Obviously he just keeps coming up with new stuff.

Tax Credits For Green Rooftops In NYC - this is a cool post, but, pretty much just like it sounds. I.E for New Yorkers.

Last up, just in case you're having some summer barbeques going on, I've got two posts from Green Living for you - Green your BBQ techniques and Solar Grilling.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
