BATHROOM 040517

Spring has sprung in the Valley, or at least as much as it can while the temperature begins its approach to the century mark.

While most of the Sonoran Desert stays different shades of brown during Spring, people who choose to remodel do have the option to go green.

A recent blog post on Remodeling Magazine’s website detailing several inexpensive green remodeling options caught our eye.

For starters, you can use renewable materials such as bamboo and cork to suit your flooring needs.

Companies like PaperStone take things a step further by using recycled paper and other materials in their sustainable countertops.

If you are looking to start on a smaller scale, you can look at energy efficient appliances and windows, or just use paints that are free of volatile organic compounds (VOC).

Elsewhere, if you need some inspiration for a kitchen remodel, check out these before-and-after photos from Boston Magazine.

The three projects include re-purposing space, increasing the cooking capacity, and adding some serious light to a dark space.

Have a good week!
