We were too until we chose the proper light fixtures that allowed the warm textiles of the shades to serve as filters, giving the rooms a more natural looking light palette. Choose lamp shades with gold hued linings and loosely woven materials for your overhead hanging fixtures and you will be a lot happier about the light in your life.

Green tip of the week #1:

But the more Michael researched energy efficient systems, the more he wanted to push the envelope and experiment with green concepts. “I was excited by the new building technologies introduced over the last fifteen years,” explains Michael. “It occurred to me that no one had looked at all of them at once by vetting them out and putting them all in one building.” Out went his idea for a simple weekend house, and in came the concept of a livable lab.

Yes, the Bennet family dries all of their laundry on a front yard clothesline, cooks many of their vegan meals in a solar oven, and grows their own produce-but, according to mom, Kyla Bennett, an environmental lawyer, they don’t really perceive those actions as anything special. “Everyone always asks if our drier is broken,” she says with a laugh. “But living this way is so normal for us. it’s hard even to think of what we do as different.” The truth is, these model green citizens not only live in a gorgeous, sustainable home but are completely committed to making every aspect of their lives as low-impact as possible. ‘We feel so strongly that this is the right thing to do,” says Kayla.
