Terry and I will be following with great interest. Although we are not moving (in fact, because we are not moving), we have started planning some green renovations for our home over the next couple of years. Thanks for the link to Sarah Susanka's website. She wrote the foreword to one of John Wheatman's books and I've been meaning to look her up. Although not necessarily 'green', Wheatman has a 'use what you have, well' philosophy, and an artist's eye. His sense of design is authentic and inspirational. ("Meditations on Design" and "A Good House is Never Done"... probably available from your local library). Good luck with everything, and enjoy the process! from Carol G on 11/16/09 (before we abandoned GoDaddy’s “smart” space):
