4.0 out of 5 stars Informative, but basic, November 9, 2010

This review is from: Knack Green Decorating & Remodeling: Design Ideas and Sources for a Beautiful Eco-Friendly Home (Knack: Make It easy) (Paperback)

Informative, easy to read book, but with lots of basic information that can be found easily online. I suppose it's nice not to have the information all in one place. However, this book and Sobesky's Natural Style, are virtually the same. This book has a more extensive list of resources than Natural Style, however.

Provides a broad range of great suggestions for green remodeling and decorating. I would have preferred more on remodeling the outside of the house (i.e. roofing, siding), but you can't have everything.
