Green On the Inside

Below are a few pictures showing some of the green products used in 1347 Forest Avenue.

The kitchen cabinetry, including the PaperStone countertop
which is made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Paper.

Bamboo flooring was used throughout the first floor,
except in the bedroom and bathroom.
Bamboo is a fast-growing, rapidly-renewable resource.

The kitchen looking North: the recycled counter top, bamboo flooring,
and low-VOC paint and primer are all part
of Greenth Street's approach to a more sustainable, greener home living.

The pendent lights over the kitchen island.
All light fixtures in Greenth Street use Compact Fluorescent Lighting (CFL) bulbs,
which are generally more efficient and longer-lasting than regular incandescent bulbs.

The back hallway on the first floor, looking towards the kitchen,
showing the inset for the refrigerator. All furnished kitchen appliances will
be Energy Star.

The first floor bedroom's closet: all bedrooms and
bedroom closets are carpeted with green plus carpeting.

The upstairs stairwell. The carpet is green-plus carpet.

The upstairs bathroom.
The flooring is marmorette with NATURcot from Armstrong.
