Green House

I'm designing the Wimberley house to be green. Green as in earth-friendly, if that's even possible given it's a second home that we'll spend hours driving to visit on weekends. Part of the green goal is my own stinginess about paying energy bills, and part is because of a real concern for the planet.

My sweetheart is making her own contribution to the earth-friendly aspect of the home. She picked out these natural materials from nearby as a color pallet to guide us in the selection of finish colors.

The plans are coming along VERY slowly, so I need to get on the stick and get them far enough along to get some rough estimates from contractors. That way I won't get too far down the design path before I discover that I can't afford what I just designed. Maybe if I keep saying that I'm going to get the plans done on this blog I'll actually do it!
