Gift Bag 2007: Good Green Kitchens from EcoHome Improvement

Welcome to our Simple Holiday Gift Bag in which instead of doing a "gift guide", we do that AND give the gifts away to our readers. All the details are below. Happy Holidays!

Thinking of remodeling your kitchen? Jennifer Roberts' book Good Green Kitchens is one of our favorite sources for inspiration. The book, full of beautiful color photography, retails for $29.95.

If you're in the Bay Area and it's inspiration you're after, we'd strongly recommend a personal consultation at the newly expanded design center at EcoHome Improvement.

We have made little improvements on a tight budget, and we are finally starting to see a difference in the way we live and use energy. This kitchen make over literature will be well used, because thats what we are doing next. I will visit often!
