Green Home Makeover

Polk Street in San Francisco is fast becoming a hub of green-chic design. First, there was the bamboo-infused Spring Store. And now the brand new Green Home Center has joined the scene, and it is cause for celebration.

Looking to make your home or condo greener? Visit the Green Home Center for a touch-and-feel experience in a one stop showroom featuring brands that are both healthy-green and upscale-elegant. 

Need a new eco-friendly kitchen?  There is Brand Kitchens & Design.

Want modern eco-furniture?  Check out Eco-terric’s healthy organic bedding and fair trade natural linens, or their partnership with Cisco Brothers’ Inside Green line.

Need a table for your deck?  Look for Marin Outdoor Living with their sustainable woods and crowd-pleasing eco fireplaces.

Seeking some colorful eco-accents?   Ceramic Tile Design is an answer with their gorgeous recycled glass tiles.

Plus there are solar solutions, cabinets, reclaimed wood doors, eco-audit services, and more. An outdoor terrace provides a moment to breath in the fresh air and contemplate the array of eco-chic choices.

One of the partners may be named Zany, but she is anything but crazy. Rather, she is eco-knowledgeable and passionate about helping people live in healthier homes. I had to stop myself from bouncing off the zero-VOC painted walls with enthusiasm for this new store owned by green visionaries Dietmar and Sean Brand.

Tip: Ask lots of questions. Ask where the wood comes from and learn how it is reclaimed or sustainable. Ask what kind of natural non-toxic adhesives and dyes are used. Seek out organic or reincarnated materials. And let the eco makeovers begin.
