Green Remodel phase 4: on the market!

Well, folks - the two-week (unplanned) hiatus has come to an end - after much effort, sweat, sawdust, paint and adrenaline, my Graybar unit is on the market!

You can check out the official photos here.

Notice all the cool enviro-friendly stuff - those toilets are dual flow (according to Dad, you don't need the second flow - the small one is enough... thanks for the TMI, dad), the floors are solid bamboo, the a/c control is digital. We left in the original cabinets but repainted and re-hardwared them, and we left in the kitchen countertops and matched the rest of the countertops to them (reuse is one of those three Rs!).

Also, I took a video of the place while it was still in progress (with all intentions being to post it last week - ::sigh:: this remodel really got the better of me!)



As for me, I'm camping out in Murfreesboro with the dogs and my very gracious, very patient brother. I'll keep you updated - my next post, I think, will be about Nashville's Lipscomb U, which is one of a handful of universities that has been chosen for a green-test pilot program.

Holy Maroley! It is flecking GORGEOUS! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the backsplash in the kitchen and the beautiful bamboo floors! Awesome Job!

Thanks!
It is definitely something i'm enjoying now but didn't really enjoy while we were doing it.
Part of why i want to be green is to make my life LESS stressful, so the whole remodeling process didn't really accomplish that goal - but i really, REALLY hope that it will for someone else! those wood floors will be so much easier to care for than carpet! and those countertops are super-easy to clean. I've been saying all week - I wish i could afford to live here!
