When we decided to purchase a home together, A & I furthered our study of sustainability and green living while striving to continue living an organic and conscious lifestyle. Our new house is/will be completely organic, furnished with all recycled materials/products (which we will build and purchase), lots of healthy light, full of philodendrons and other productive plants (thoughts now of a living wall in the living room), and we are saving for solar panels as we recycle the enormous amounts of trash that pile up next to our back fence. Also, as we continue to learn and challenge each other, we are garnering a large amount of eco-knowledge, plus a deep love with our house and this exciting new stage of the life we gleefully decided to share.
Here is an update:

Looks like you had some fantastic profesional craftsmen working for you, I hope you paid them well . . . where are the pictures of you painting?
I paid my "fantastic professional craftsmen" with my smiles, coffee-brewing skills and enduring love. Maybe that is not enough...?
I know Jason expected more...
I played camerawoman during the painting sessions, but believe me, my pants were covered and there is still a mixture of green, ginger and maroon under my fingernails!
Kudo's to Aaron & Jason--nice work!! and to Kerri for her photographic skills in capturing their efforts. Looks really cool--when is the housewarming party???
