EcoBuild 2010 – Earls Court – Visit Report
Rainwater Harvesting tanks are now available in all shapes and sizes, almost, and some of the slimline one that can be put up by the side of a house are hardly noticeable, once installed. Those slimline tanks are, primarily, for people who want to retrofit such systems and do not wish to dig a deep hole in the garden (or elsewhere). Paperstone, made in Washington State, in the USA, from recycled post-consumer waste paper, and brought into the UK by Hanson Plywood Ltd. by Michael Smith (Veshengro) This year's EcoBuild seems to have been bigger, much bigger, in fact, that previous years and the entire Earls Court 1 and 2 were taken up, basically, for stands and lecture theaters. The buzz on the floor was enormous and the footfall on the first day alone, the day that I visited, must have been in the thousands. A great number of new companies with new products could be seen as well as old, well-known ones with new and not so new products.

  • And Let’s do Part Three!
    Going through my files, I realized I took a lot of photos of Kerry Washington’s Los Angeles apartment makeover I did for the June issue of O: the Oprah Magazine.    I did this makeover so long ago, that I forgot about half of the DIY decorating ideas.  True story: I have a celebrity client (not Kerry Washington) who did not want me to buy her things from the thrift shops, even though that’s where I would find the best vintage glass and ceramic pieces.   So, here’s the third and final post on the makeover and this one will be dedicated to the decorating details.
