Traditional Home has an on-line spread showing the home of Jill Zarin, of Real Housewives of NYC fame. The new color choices are fresh. I love the dining room’s new light and bright feel.
The kitchen cabinets were painted white with wallpaper used on the flat panels of the upper cabinets. The flooring and countertops were not changed. Mirrored backsplash helps to open up the tight space. You can see the whole spread with before photos here.

Earth Day was founded on April 22, 1970, by Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis.) to give the environmental cause national exposure. Since that first grass-roots effort, a growing population has supported Earth Day and what it stands for.
I bookmarked this picture a while ago and I think today might be a good day to share it. The tree-house concept is reminiscent of childhood dreams and playtime, fairy stories of enchantment and imagination .
The Architectural component embodies a simple oval form wrapped ‘organically’ around the redwood tree trunk and structurally tied at top and bottom. The tree-house restaurant was designed by Pacific Environments Architects, a New Zealand firm focused on holistic environmentally sustainable design.
The ramp leading from the meadow up into the tree allows access for people in wheelchairs or who would otherwise not be able to climb a ladder. Even though this is a Yellowpages promotion, it’s a noteworthy project.
