West Coast Green teams up with Western Interiors

Greetings Greenies,

If you enjoyed the West Coast Green Residential Building Conference + Expo, then you will enjoy their latest endeaver at the Western Interiors Design + Home Show. Western Interiors is renowned for their classic and contemporary take on high end design and interior decor. However, this year they have taken a big step in the green direction, and with the help of Wet Coast Green have incorporated a "green home pavilion" into their tradeshow.

The 1,500 square foot staged home, complete with living room, dining room and outdoor area, will be arranged and designed by Interior Designers Deborah Coburn of Naturally Inspired and Tamara Blackstone of HomeLife.

There will also be an "ask the experts" booth with representatives from west coast green to answer green building questions, and give green living advice.

Eric Corey Freed will be giving another of his renowned keynote presentations on the inevitable future of green building and design, and well as distributing his own expert advice.

The green home will feature:

• Complimentary consultations with green home professionals

• Large selection of high quality eco-friendly products and furnishings

• On site examples of how to increase your homes energy efficiency while
decreasing its ecological footprint

**Compact Fluorescent light bulb giveaway to the first 2,000 attendees, provided by Sylvania

Too cold for my bikini...

Cool! I went to this show last year and noticed green exhibitors, but no emphasis. But "Wet Coast Green"? Brrr! I think you mean "West Coast Green"


Good times

Now this sounds exciting. I admit that even though I live in San Francisco, I didn't make it out to the West Coast Green event - what horror, I know! As a big fan of interior design, I might have to carve out some time to check out this one though.

Eco-friendly goes Eco-sheik

I totally agree with you. I would never have thought of the pairing of the greenies of West Coast Green and the she-she luxury audience of Western Interiors, but it makes sense really. Eco is becoming very sheik, its not just granola and yurts anymore. I am definitely going. I did make it to West Coast Green, and those people know what they are doing!


Same here

I'm glad to see that an organization like Western Interiors has an interest in green living - no matter your budget or lifestyle, there is a way to live greener, more sustainable lives, and starting at home is the easiest way to go.

The event happens right after I return from a week-long trip to Portland, so we'll see how much energy I have, but I'm very excited and hoping to go.
