It's The New Year!

1.  Replace a single flush toilet with a new dual flush.  Here is one that I have had my eye on.

It is the Kohler Persuade, Two-Piece Elongated Toilet

2.  Update a room with a splash of color, replace older accent pillows with new patterns and colors.  Use no VOCs, and organic fabrics.
3.  Take an older used piece of furniture and give it a facelift- recycle, reuse.  I found two great tables on a street corner.  Stay tuned for my DIY project in the near future.
4.  Replace cleaning products with healthier and more natural versions. We added these great products to our Laundry Room at the CharityWorks Greenhouse.

5.  Add dimers, keep them low, and replace bulbs with CFLs where ever possible.

These are just a couple of simple projects for the New Year that can help you create a healthier, green environment and also provide an updated look. When I participated on The ChairtyWorks Greenhouse, I learned how easy it is to live a more green lifestyle and I hope to take steps in the future to also educate my clients on how easy it can be.

Every Monday I will be featuring a post on modern architecture and design on 2modern's Design Blog.  Be sure to visit this weeks post for another great list for the New Year.
