    • ReuseNiks Reusable Laundry Bag

    • We hate plastic bags. We hate them so much we came up with the Clothesnik, a 100% cotton garment bag made specifically for those who love to dry clean but hate to pollute. Designed with a drawstring at the bottom and zipper down the front, just bundle your dirty clothes in the Clothesnik to the dry cleaners or laundry, and they come back clean and ready to go hanging in the same bag. Just like a regular garment bag, but better. For you, your neighbor, the world. Just say no to plastic bags with the Clothesnik. In one easy step you can make that statement: Pack your Clothesnik with dirty clothes and take it to the Cleaners. Your clean clothes come back hung up neatly cleaned and pressed in the same bag. No More Plastic Dry Cleaning or Laundry Bags! This is not just a fashion but a fashion (and future) necessity. Use it for travel, personalize it, give it as a gift. For more info visit ReuseNiks.com

    • Eden Organix

    • VALERIE MASON-ROBINSON / “GREEN BEAUTY QUEEN” Community Activist, Wife and Mother, Chief Skin Care Tester My love affair with beauty products began while I was still playing dress-up in my mother’s shoes and make-up. Over the years I’ve been made to feel like a beauty queen through its magical, transforming powers, but things got serious when I realized these products were more than just perfect colors and shades. While in college, I had the life changing opportunity to study and do research at M.I.T. in cosmetic surfactants (surface chemical reactions). I learned that we’re more than just what we eat, but that what we put onto our largest organ, the skin, has lasting consequences to our health and well being. This new found enlightenment led me on a holistic journey for natural organic products, and continued to play an underlining role in all that I did. For more info visit EdenOrganix.com

    • Sun and Earth Cleaning Products

People want products made with non-toxic ingredients without sacrificing performance. After extensive research, Sun and Earth developed cleaners made from coconut and orange oils that clean and shine beautifully and have an appealing fresh citrus scent, formulated cleaners for people sensitive to the harsh chemicals found in most national brands.

    • Library Electric Radiant Heat Under Bamboo Laminate

    • Just like in the Master Bedroom, the radiant mats get sandwiched between the underlayment and the laminate flooring.

    • Kitchen Bamboo Floor

    • The step is done and the main floor has a good start.

    • Radiant Heat Under Carpet. Yes, you can!

    • The master bedroom walk it closet is the only place in the house we decided on carpet. We used the same low voltage electric radiant heat as we did under the bamboo laminate. Here you can see the carpet padding is put down first, then the matting and the carpet will go on top of that. When installing the carpet, you just have to be careful that the carpet stretcher/kicker doesn't go through into the radiant matting.

    • Radiant Heat Under Carpet. Yes, you can!

    • This is the master bedroom closet. We moved one wall and added one wall to transform the former "house" bathroom into part of the master suite. Look for the next photo in this process where we install radiant heat under carpet.

    • Master Bathroom Tile

    • The skinny green tiles in the tub border came from a local materials salvage/recycling center and started out as 2 inches wide. I cut each of those down to a half inch. Tell me that doesn't take some patience.

    • Library Electric Radiant Heat Under Bamboo Laminate

    • Finally, we found a low-voltage electric radiant heat that you can install under laminate floor or carpet. Here I'm laying out the mats and the laminate flooring will go on top of them. So you sandwich the mats between the underlayment and the flooring, minimizing heat loss through the bottom.

    • Library Electric Radiant Heat Under Bamboo Laminate

    • Finally, we found a low-voltage electric radiant heat that you can install under laminate floor or carpet. Here I'm starting the underlayment for the laminate, just like any other laminate floor. Next the radiant heat mats will go down and the floor will go on top of them. So you sandwich the mats between the underlayment and the flooring, minimizing heat loss through the bottom.
