TABLE OF CONTENTS
HERE’S A SAMPLE OF WHAT’S INSIDE:
“It’s a great thing when you can marry good design with classic style. It’s even better when the design includes items that are locally sourced, have good indoor air quality, or are made from materials that are renewable or sustainable. I call that a real win-win situation.”
