Q: Why Go Green?
We make better choices with nutrition and exercise but fail to understand that food is not the only element being taken in by our bodies. Today we face environmental health threats not encountered by earlier generations.

The modern invention of adhesives, synthetic carpet and paints, simulated wood products, particle board, plywood, foam insulation, and much more, all contribute to the chemical out gassing within our living space. Studies have shown that the air pollution found within our homes can be up to 10 times greater than that of outdoor air pollution due to the out gassing process of the materials used.

Through our furnishings alone, formaldehyde, ammonia, insecticides, benzene, and many more toxins are inhaled into our systems as they out gas. Many of us suffer the effects without connecting a possible cause. Many symptoms such as headaches, lethargy, muscle aches, depression, wheezing, cough, poor concentration, and anxiety can be traced to out gassing chemicals within our own safe havens, our homes.

Q: What choices do we have for a healthy home environment?

Using environmentally sustainable furnishings and materials results in fewer toxins and creates an improved air quality leading to an improved quality of life. With the mysterious nature of certain health issues, the impact of using sustainable materials can be quite surprising. Quality of life is further developed through the artistic use of design principles, Feng Shui and a healing balance that creates a sacred space within our homes.
