Being green may have been hard for Kermit, but not for my favorite one stop design build store, Greenable. They make going GREEN effortless. Greenable opened their doors in September of 2007 in Old City and a few years ago relocated to an industrial space in Northern liberties. Not only is the new space wonderful, and larger (which means even more great product), but there is tons of free parking... that fact alone gives them a gold star in my book!
Greenable is a brilliant alternative to the horrific waste and pollution that was created when using other building material suppliers. They prove that GREEN no longer means sacrificing depth and quality of material. In my opinion they are changing the face of GREEN building supplies in Philly. The friendly and helpful staff at Greenable cares deeply about their community and the lifestyles of the people living within it. Shopping in their store is easy and fully accessible to everyone and any budget. They realize that every little bit helps and they don't want to exclude anyone from the benefits of utilizing the products they provide.
All products supplied are LEED qualified and meet the EPA GREEN standards, which makes Eco-conscious shopping there a no brainer. Basically they're supplying gilt-free products that will beautify your space! You can't really ask for more then that, talk about good design karma!
One of my favorite basic materials is Mythic Paint. This paint is amazing. It's non toxic, there is virtually no order and has zero VOC's. In layman's terms it doesn't stink and there is no harmful off gassing. Not to mention the color palette is phenomenal, you no longer have to substitute Eco-consciousness for color selection.
However, their inventory doesn't stop at just paint. The have such an interesting array of exotic hardwoods, tile products and counter top materials including products consisting of compressed paper and fly ash, it will truly blow your mind. They are taking Eco-friendly design to new heights. Before you begin your next renovation I suggest you stop by, you never know what you may find.
Happy Earth Day everyone!
