Stepping Inside the Home

At the entrance of the home is a very welcoming enclosed foyer. To one side is an impressive table -- it was crafted from a fallen tree, and the base is made from recycled metal. To the left is an extension of the living room with beautiful orange chaises. There is a full wall of storage that contains two mini refrigerators filled with soft drinks and water. The cabinetry is Expresso, and directly in front are two large orange chaises. I loved the orange. It looked so great against the walls, which are painted in Sherwin-Williams "Edgy Gold."

The kitchen cabinets are also Expresso with dark composite Caesarstone countertops and stainless steel Kenmore appliances. Everything, of course, is Energy Star rated. The dining room, which looks out to the patios, has a great big custom-made table fabricated from recycled wood. The top is antique heart pine and the legs are old fence posts. It is covered with pots of orchids. The walls are Sherwin-Williams "Accessible Beige," and a triptych of a horse covers the back wall.

Oh, and click here for a photo gallery of interior construction of the 2009 HGTV Green Home. We'll have another new gallery up soon!
