Adventures in Designing a tiny space - My New Pad!

This is the first time ever I have had complete carte blanche (yes for even as bossy as I am I have comprised for a significant other in design) on designing a new apartment. I have decided to take it on with vigor using my passions; color and recycling.
I pinky scout promise to:
- buy only used items, water saving products, fight the city to get recycling in my complex, create an outside dog run haven for my puglet and an exterior dining room.

I'll update with photos of before, during and the final product (October 30th is my deadline).

Watch and see how I can pull it together.....keeping the enviroment in mind every second and each purchase.

Budget: $1000.00
Deadline: October 30th, 2009
Launch: today September 24th, 2009

Zero VOC Paint that is safe and beautiful says the color consultant

As a color designer I not only think about what type of colors a paint manufacturer offers but also how the paint is going to affect my clients after its applied on the walls. As a painting contractor for years my crews and I tried many different paints which were low or zero VOC and there were many which fell short in application, ability for touch up and color options. Yolo Colorhouse is one of my favorites. My other go to paint is Aura by Benjamin Moore. Both are zero VOC, easy to apply, touch up and have a limited palette that doesn't overwhelm but inspires.
