Living green now
Cabinets conceal a water- and energy-frugal front-loading washer and dryer from GE (www.geappliances.com). The floor is engineered bamboo (Gammapar/Armin Maier and Associates). Cobalt blue recycled-glass knobs (SpectraDécor) match the lava-stone tile counter (Fireclay Tile). Teal and green floor tiles (Fireclay Tile) in the kids’ bathroom are made of waste products derived from gravel, asphalt, and cement.
Multitask zone
Bright blues and greens enliven the laundry/playroom. The pale green nontoxic laminate veneer is by
Abet Laminati (www.abetlaminati.com).
Children’s bedrooms
Add personality with painted wainscoting. The
blue and green stripes are low-VOC paint. For recyclable wall decor in the older child’s room, we used Wallcandy Arts Dottilicious stick-on circles of various sizes from Giggle (www.egiggle.com).
