Green Design with Redesign

...a hands-on workshop to learn the basics of green design and how to successfully incorporate it into your existing business!

The Green Design with Redesign Workshop will answer your questions about green design and teach you what fabrics and finishes are considered sustainable.  In this hands-on workshop, you will discover how to make changes to repurpose accessories, furnishings, etc. You will learn how to build your "Green Finish Binder" and how to incorporate green design into your current interior design, redesign, or home staging business.

This one-day workshop will cover in detail:

• What is Green?
  To understand how we can become more 'conscious' designers or stagers, we need to know the basics of green design, including carbon footprints, and minimizing waste in design. With this knowledge, we can make a difference as designers, redesigners, and stagers when choosing to reuse or replace our home furnishings.
• How to Have Healthy Home Interiors
  Uncover some of the adverse affects on our homes' air quality due to paints, finishes, and flooring we choose. Learn what the Energy Star Rating System and Leed Certification program for environmental design really are.
• Intelligent Interiors
  See, touch, and learn about the different environmentally and health-friendly materials that are available to use in our homes. Get a closer look at flooring, paint, wallcovering, window treatments, and lighting that will truly make a difference in our lives!
• Reuse, Resell, Recondition, and Reclaim
  Learn how to incorporate environmentally friendly products into your clients' design plans, while keeping in mind the principles of redesign. When new products are necessary, learn the green sources you have available, as well as the impact the purchasing power you have as a design expert has on the environment.
