A Little “Green” Surfing!
We have been busy bees this summer not only creating wonderful sustainable designs, but also writing articles for magazines and getting our building ready for moving into this fall. Watch for our Shelter article in this month’s edition of The Good Life Magazine. Also, we were featured in the summer edition of Austin Urban Home Magazine. Check us out!
This month of August is a busy one for most as we prepare for a new school year or try to squeeze one last family outing before the summer comes to a close. With that in mind we are taking a small step away from our normal newsletter format this month. Instead of one particular subject we thought a selection of several might be fun. So for your interest and web surfing pleasure, please check out these great links.
