Rating: Summary: A well organized, very revolutionary book! Review: This book rocks! I recently purchased a home in upstate New York and wanted to do simple renovations to the kitchen, gardens and bathroom. I didn't have a tremendous amount of moolah to spend, but I did want to make changes. I realize this book is all about saving the planet and incorporating green building products....but there are sooooooo many tips in here to decorate, renovate and change on a dime!!! It's very very clever...I love it!
Rating: Summary: I really liked it Review: Well, I loved this book! I got so many clever tips I never would've thought of...like using chalkboard paint on the fridge.I'm not a crazy militant environmentalist, but i do care about our planet, and this book showed me the way.
Rating: Summary: Pretty pictures, great ideas Review: Well, I've never gone to amazon and submitted a review, but I felt compelled to after reading Conscious Style. I am renovating my 19th century farmhouse and found great, simple tips in this book we are using RIGHT NOW! Bamboo flooring is great. Recycled glass tile is amazing. Toxic-free paints have no odor! My only complaint is that there aren't enough color photos...but the 200 photos are beautiful.
Rating: Summary: Eco Friendly Living has come a long way, baby Review: When my first child was born, I was concerned about keeping a clean home without using harsh chemicals. I picked up Conscious Style Home to see if there were ideas how I could do that. What's refreshing about this book is that the author doesn't keep lamenting what's wrong with the frickin' world...he just gives ideas. I highly recommend this book.
