The Grass is Greener

We've said we're not above dumpster diving, and we jumped at the chance to prove it when we discovered a pile of scrap wood in our building’s refuse pile. With a few coats of zero VOC paint, some nails and a little elbow grease, we now have a white picket fence to hide all the wires under our desks.

But where would a fence be without something greener on the other side? Our desks themselves, not to mention our conference table, chairs and kitchen cabinets, are all built with salvaged materials gathered at Build It Green! in Astoria, NY. While there, we also discovered an eclectic collection of doors that we transformed into an entryway wall.

Martha Taylor, Jessi's mother and visiting handy-woman, built additional storage, rearranged furniture and installed new lighting fixtures. Our newly improved office is organized, cozy and bright. We can't wait for clients and friends to drop in to say hello!
