Home Green Home

We are sooooo lucky to have Home Green Home (HGH) in our community! It is a paradise, safe haven, destination, necessity for those who believe in keeping our home/​our earth green and clean.
I feel at home here. I can talk to the staff and the owner, who is very accessible, about: alternatives to plastic, locally made soaps, as well as a FREE DVD lending library) and not feel like a weirdo just because I want to live a healthier lifestyle and save money. Yes, you will save money in the long run because everything in the store is quality, made with love and made to last!
My boyfriend and I saved up and bought an organic mattress last summer. Yes, it is more expensive than the typical chemical-​laden mattresses in big box stores (I am trying to avoid a lifetime of illnesses). The mattress is made just a few miles away with organic materials! My boyfriend and I didn’t take a vacation last year, but after investing in an organic mattress, we feel like we are able to take a vacation every night of the year with a such a wonderful night’s sleep. Oh, and if you stay at the owner’s organic-​style bed and breakfast
you can actually try out one of the organic mattresses for the whole night AND be credited for the night’s stay if you buy one of the mattresses-​what a deal!!!
Enjoy!!! See you there!

Home Green Home is a lovely, relaxed store where I like to stop in and just browse for a bit. The staff is helpful but not pushy, which is nice for students like me who can only dream of buying their beautiful furniture.
Although the store is mostly stocked with eco-​conscious home furnishings, it also has a small section with low– and no-​VOC paints, green cleaning products, and small composters.
For people on a budget, this is a great place to pick up smaller items like recycled printer paper, folders and cd sleeves made from recycled paper, energy-​efficient light bulbs, or a bar of locally-​made soap. The store also carries fantastic, pure olive and coconut oil lip balms by 17^th Century Suds, a local company; the lavender and rosemary lip balms are my favorite.

Perfect place to browse and enjoy the shopping experience. Good gift ideas, local, organic and/​or green. I would almost kill for one of the organic foam mattresses they sell here (or the upholstered furniture or the reclaimed wood pieces…). Talk about heavenly. Stop in when you’re on the Commons to support this wonderful shop.

This is officially my first Unilocal following my honeymoon, so expect several more as I find time to squeeze them in here and there as we unpack and are back to work (I know — the suspense is killing you).
A very cute and modern green home store focusing on environmentally friendly décor, as well as art, some books, etc. etc. The people working there were very nice, and they had some really nice furniture, photographs, paintings, kitchen wares, flooring — the list goes on — all «green» and not inexpensive. I think that is the only reason they don’t get the fifth star — I’m not rich and famous enough to shop there with any regularity — plus I live 8 hours away which also makes it difficult. We bought a soap dish refabbed from a beer or wine bottle, a book, and some locally made lavender/​lemongrass soap which makes me smell pretty.
If you’ve got $ 500 burning a hole in your pocket you might be able to score an end table made from reclaimed wood, or some smaller items that will not only make your house way cool, but help the earth out a bit too. Well worth a stop, and if you’ve got the money you should spend the time.
