Some of my Best Friends are Designers

I am not an architect, an engineer, or a designer. I know what I like, but need to have people with a more finely tuned aesthetic to take the lead in creating a professional, sophisticated, creative, vibrant, and sustainable home for the USGBC Colorado Chapter. Fortunately, we are blessed to have so many talented experts in our community, who are not only willing to help me out - but excited to work on this project with me.

Annette Stelmack and I met yesterday with friends from Casa Verde Paint, InterfaceFLOR, and Haworth, to pick out products and color schemes.  I can't tell you how fun it is to work with people who are passionate about their products and pick carpet and furniture without concern for a tight budget - due entirely to their generosity and commitment to our mission.

Haworth has been incredibly kind to the Colorado Chapter for over two years now, bringing Pear Commercial Interiors on to provide space design services and to consult on color schemes, and even providing movers and installers. If you've visited us in the last year, you may have relaxed in one of our "Hello" lounge chairs, or worked in one of our Certified Cradle to Cradle Zody Chairs. This will be the third office that they have donated sustainable furniture to the Colorado Chapter - each time incorporating our existing furniture into the new layout.

If you'd like to contribute your expertise, enthusiasm, or donate products, please track our "Green Office Wish List" on the Home Page of this blog.
