Yesterday I had a conversation with Lesley - our architect and one of my closest friends - about keeping our renovation green.  We were discussing hardwood floors, which, if reclaimed can run upwards of $12 / square foot.  As much as we want to be green, and as beautiful as reclaimed wood floors are, we just can't afford that.

Instead of being depressed about what we can't do, our goal is to do what we can to be as green as possible, and to be conscious of the impact that the decisions that we make have on the environment.  To that end, these driftwood hooks made from reclaimed wood in New York state are officially our first purchase - they were a bit on the pricier end, but within our means and well worth it to support a local, green company. Here's what they look like up close (with an iphone camera).
