Low-impact living is about making thoughtful eco-friendly choices in your home. But being
sustainable doesn't have to mean sacrificing style. That's where Remodelista comes in. In this
comprehensive guide they decode the secrets to creating a home that's good for the planet?and
totally livable. First the team invites readers on in-depth tours of the living quarters of a
dozen homeowners who have interpreted this ethos in myriad ways: an Australian architect's
state-of-the-art family home a rental apartment in Brooklyn outfitted with materials salvaged
from the neighborhood and even a farmhouse in England made of hemp. Then they take us room by
room to dissect the most impactful swaps we can make for a healthier home from a gentler
laundry routine courtesy of the Celsious sisters to chef David Tanis's low-tech approach to
cooking. There are simply DIY projects to encourage you to reuse and repurpose rather than buy
new plus the Vintage 75??a roundup of everyday household goods that are easy to find used and
are typically better made and more affordable than their brand-new counterparts. And of course
there's remodeling advice for all budgets and scopes: whether you're looking to choose healthy
paint swap out your rug upgrade your windows or overhaul your whole place. It all adds up to
an eco-conscious approach that's about living not only responsibly but also with joy and style.
