Basically I have been running non stop as of late. 30,000 miles in a plane last month and i might beat it this month...But it's all good. Million Dollar Rooms is doing really well and I have to thank all of you for watching it. We also have two more shows my Prod Co. is shooting for HGTV right now.. I don't want to talk too soon but I think we might have hit on something big. I guess people like watching rooms worth a million dollars!!! who would have thought....

This should not be that hard... I was walking up to the security line at JFK and the woman in front of me just threw her aluminum can in the trash as the recycling bin is right next to trash.. How does this stuff still happen. It mad me sick, and I said something to her, but I guess the traveling experience these days outweighs any clear thoughts. She looked at me like she was going to bite my head off.I think the TSA should employ another blue shirt to help with disposal.

Here is some old growth trees that have fallen and I have acquired. I will have a page up pretty soon to showcase some of the furniture that my partner and I have made. All pieces made will be for sale and custom made pieces will be welcomed.

eco tips

1. Paint. Nothing freshens up a home like a new coat of paint. But that new paint smell often comes from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are suspected of causing short and long-term health issues. Furniture absorbs these chemicals, so they are around long after the smell goes away. Use non-VOC paint to create an inviting, comfortable and beautiful room.

2. Cleaning Products. Natural cleaning products provide great performance without leaving behind harsh chemical fumes and residues. Green Works naturally derived cleaners offer a variety of cleaners for the whole house, including naturally derived detergent and bathroom cleaner.

3. Flooring. Carpet holds dust, pollens and more, all of which are key triggers for asthma and allergies. Also, most carpets are loaded with VOCs and stain-resistant chemicals. Since families, especially children, spend a lot of time on the floor, removing carpeting is a great first step. Try natural wood flooring, such as the sustainable bamboo flooring.

4. Furniture & Window Coverings. Everyone loves the statement drapes can bring to a room, but often, they do more than block the sun. They can trap dust, dust mites and pollen. Blinds are a good, contemporary solution.

5. Appliances. Few places have seen as much innovation as the appliance category, where new models can be green and save green. Look for a washer-dryer that can provide lifetime water and energy savings, and an allergen setting that can help removes mold, pollen and other triggers from clothing.
