We stayed in the city last night and this was the view from our window this morning:
Pretty huh? Well, it was pretty then, but now it’s slushing out. That’s right, slush is falling from the sky. Denis and the kids are attempting to drive to the country, but it’s snowing where they are and they’ve been driving for hours and are not even close to home. I stayed in the city an extra night because tomorrow I’m interviewing Lisa Sharkey and her husband Paul Gleicher who have co-authored a beautiful book called Dreaming Green: Eco-Fabulous Homes Designed to Inspire.
Click on the link above to see photos of their gorgeous “green” townhouse, and if you have any questions or comments for Lisa and Paul, post them here and I’ll ask them during our interview tomorrow, making this blog thrillingly interactive! The interview won’t air on IN HOUSE for a few weeks though, so you’ll have to be a little patient.
Anyway, I hope everybody is surviving the weather, wherever you are!
Ann,
My husband had the day off and my office was closed due to the ice and snow covered roads, so we baked cookies and had a relaxing day getting ready for soon to be rushing around for the Holidays week ahead.
My question on the green townhouse deals with the plants and grasses on the rooftop. I have often wondered how the dirt and watering effect the roof’s structure and weight restraints. Where does the root system go? Are there only certain plants that survive a roof top environment. So if you know the answer to that I would love to know. Thanks It’s a great looking and very spacious home.
It was 80 degrees and extremely muggy here in central TX….
Everything is wet – without the rain, yuk!
So glad to hear you are doing another IN HOUSE.
The Dreaming Green book looks like a great gift idea. Thanks for the idea!
Stay warm!
Could you please ask them what kind of blinds they have (esp. in what looks to be a bedroom)? Their home is beautiful and inspiring.
Thanks.
I hope you all keep safe. We had lots of ice and power outages. Silly winter
To inform Ann that her book(s) are not available at Borders Caltrain in San Francisco. That I went to ask the fellow who works here and he had trouble(s) with everything, ended up suggesting I go to the Westfield Borders (five blocks up) and see if they would have it there…
I guess I could go thru Amazon, but this is silly.
Thanks
Guadalupe
