Renovations for Less

Renovating a room in your house is exciting-- not to mention expensive! Most of us can’t afford to work with an interior designer to help us realize our vision, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t achieve the designer look that you’ve always wanted while getting the most bang for your buck!

I’m going to tell you all right now that I don’t do construction. And by that I mean, I don’t like doing it, I don’t like being around when it’s done and frankly, just thinking about construction pretty much turns me into a big, old cranky-pants. I think it's because I really, really hate change.

Green Demolitions

My girlfriend, who is presently remodeling her house just asked me what to do with all of her perfectly useful appliances and fixtures, so I began to research. Of course, Freecycle is an excellent local option, but if she lived on the East Coast I would have raved about Green Demolitions. The socially (and inadvertently eco) company says that their service is a "win, win" situation. But this is more like a "win, win, win, win" situation. Green Demolitions will bring along a crew of contractors to extract all the useful items (for free). Then they'll sell them at a fraction of the going price in one of their three stores (New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania) or online at greendemolitions.org, give you a tax deduction and put the profits towards their charity to help people overcome addictions. The donor, the customer, the charity and the earth all come out on top!
