Since Green Redux has just gotten started during the 2007 Holidays, we’d like to take a moment and wish all of our readers a very healthy and happy holiday season. We’re looking forward to finishing up 2007 and heading into the new year with lots of exciting vintage home projects, green building news and lots of good cheer. Happy Holidays!

My brother, Scott, and I have started this blog as a place where we can share projects, ideas and trends in green building and vintage home remodeling. I’m the green girl and he’s the vintage guy. Together, we are Green Redux.

We’ll be following SBK Unlimited in Boston, Scott’s HIC company, with lots of great insight and pictures. We’ll also be keeping an eye on what’s happening around Boston, the nation and the globe with green building, sustainable design and reuse/remodel projects.

It should be a good time so visit often, be sure to share ideas and comments, and let us know what you’d like to see here. Welcome to Green Redux!
