Green Design

Comments

• It’s great to know that it is so easy to make the right choice. It seems as if our lives today are filled with us having to make the decision of helping out the environment and doing the right thing, or having our lives be more convenient with the help of those same agents that are considered harmful. It is great to not have to give up convenience or the beauty and quality of the product, and still make a difference.

• As an interior design student, I have been noticing a lot of designs “going green.” The fact that the moldings offered are not only more safe for our environment, but they are nicely made and the designs are incredible as well.

  - Walter, August 22nd, 2008 at 2:16 pm

• I began to try and have everything that i do and use be environmentally safe. Its great because sometimes it gets very difficult– i have been trying to cut plastic out of my life all together as well as bike and carpool… and this, for once, makes doing the right thing a breeze!

  - Rhonda, August 24th, 2008 at 5:53 pm

• I think it is almost impossible to live completely environmentally safe. I cannot imagine what it is like to honestly live with no plastics whatsoever. I cannot imagine not being able to use the plastic food tubs, plastic toothbrushes, or even water bottles. Let’s just say that it would take a lot of effort!

• I am so glad that I have found items to go into my house that is green friendly. I am currently building my own home and have decided to make it environmentally friendly. The products that are available are more than I could have imagained.

  - Chris, August 28th, 2008 at 12:00 pm

• I think the whole “Going Green” is simply ridiculous. It is simply a scam! We might be helping the environment, but it really doesnt even matter anymore– now we are just simply wasting our money and putting it toward something that really will make no difference in the long run.

  - Larry, August 28th, 2008 at 1:42 pm

• I love the idea of having things be green! And it is incredibly convenient!

  - Samantha, August 28th, 2008 at 3:19 pm

• Larry, excuse me, but do you really think it is a waste of money to try and reverse the destruction of our planet ever a little bit? Is it not worth it at all to you to make life easier for or children? I mean, they are the ones who are paying for all of our mistakes. It’s people like you that make the whole thing impossible!

• InvitingHome.com is definitely ahead of the pack in regards to “Going Green.”

  In the May, 2008 edition of Furniture Today, author Jeff Linville in an article titles “Formaldehyde rule a treat” discussed how the State of California is also moving to tighten controls on the use of formaldahydes in “engineered wood products such as particle board, medium density fiber board and plywood used in products like furniture, paneling, flooring and cabinets.” This is in direct responce to State regulators citing studies “linking formaldahydes to throat cancer, workplace asthma and increased cases of asthma and allergies in children exposed at home.” It seems the closer health officials look into the dangers of formaldahydes in building materials the more startling the results. This is why Invitinghome.com and our world class manufacturers we early adopters of environmentally and health firendly materials and methods. Why wait to find out about increased danagers down the road – the key is to act responsibly now.

  All of our moldings are formaldahyde and CFC free. When it comes to our health, our childrens health and protecting our environment we thank you for joining us in taking a cautious and prudent approach by purchasing safe products for our home and our planet.

  - Albert, August 29th, 2008 at 10:41 am

• I agree with Albert. Whether or not you believe in man made climate change anything we all do that is environmentally sustainable and errors on benifit of doubt in regards to health it makes sense. At this point I’m definitely planning on using safe and environmentally friendly products when I renovate my home. Invitinghome.com large selection of moldings and wood products certainly does not limit us in style choices. It may cost a little more, but if each of us do our part it does add up to a cleaner and healthier future for us and our children.

  - Jeff, August 31st, 2008 at 2:27 pm

• Green design is everywhere right now. At first I thought that it was a stupid and expensive idea, but I now know that it is safe for the environment, and we have to think about our children and their children. Someday, this world will not be like it is now, it is already getting worse. The items available on this online shopping zen is a leap in the right direction.

  - Matt, September 3rd, 2008 at 12:13 pm

• I am so into green design right now, and I am trying to encourage anyone who has the chance of going green to do so. I just read in the paper this morning that an iceburg the size of manhattan just broke off up in the Artic. If this is not a sign of proof of the global warming, Ido not know what is. All I can say is that whatever we do we should help the environment. Using green products like the items offered here is just another step in the right direction. Good job and thank you for looking out for our earth.

  - Bruce, September 4th, 2008 at 11:12 am

• I am very happy to hear that even a company such as yourselves is not above helping the planet and look for solutions to keep your company going while still having say and a contribution to the good of the planet.

  - George, September 7th, 2008 at 8:42 pm

• I am very much into green design (my husband and I even have some of our power generated by the brook that runs through our property in Vermont!) So it is great to see that I can have the same luxuries but without it having a negetive effect on our planet. I am so excited. Now it’s just whether or not I can choose something! There are so many choices!

  - Susie, September 10th, 2008 at 11:20 am

• I am sorry to rant a little, but look at what we are doing to our environment! These hurricanes and tropical storms are getting worse and worse. With that being said, I am so glad that someone has found solutions

  - Darlene, September 15th, 2008 at 10:11 am

• With the economy being the way it is, I am so glad that I can still convert my house to green design at a lower cost. The polyurethane moldings are not only attractive and fancy looking, but it is environmentally friendly too. Rock on!

  - Heidi, September 23rd, 2008 at 9:45 am

• I just did a project in school (I’m going to school for interior design) and we are focusing on green design as well (I think I saw someone else in the same situation). I have to say that green is the way to go. It’s a good idea to for the environment. Plus, if you’re someone who likes to buy homes, fix them up and then sell them, you should definitely go green. It’s very popular and it’s a good feature to add while selling. I know the market isn’t exactly the greatest right now, but when we come out of our slump, I’m sure houses will sell like hotcakes again. And adding some green friendly moldings is one step closer to that meal ticket!

  - Meg, September 24th, 2008 at 2:09 pm

• Think Green People! I can’t believe there are so many people out in our world that are still using things that harm the planet that we live on. It makes me sick. As a huge Greenpeace supporter, I must say I support these polyurethane products. They will help in the long run and make our world just one step closer to better. If you need molding, get polyurethane molding because not only is it a lot better for the environment (no more cutting down trees and elimating even more of our oxygen!!) but it looks way better than the wood molding anyway. Go Green!

  - Hannah, September 29th, 2008 at 9:57 am

• I love how people are going green. (If only we had thought of doing this a lot sooner). I also think it’s great that there are materials available at such a great price that are eco-friendly. I know that I am extremely pleased knowing the ceiling madallions and molding that I have just purchased is not harming our environment, or the people I love. Who knew all those nasty chemincals could be in our molding. Thank goodness we have an alternative!

  - Amy, September 29th, 2008 at 11:27 am

• I agree with both Hannah and Amy. Our environment is going down the toilet, and if this is another way to slow down the process, I’m all for it. We should have been doing this a lot sooner. We’re killing our world slowly, and generations down the road (if our earth even lasts that long) aren’t even going to know what a tree is. How depressing. But I can feel good knowing that I can do my part about saving it.

  - Bert, October 3rd, 2008 at 9:21 am

• In leu of this energy crisis that we are currently in, I think that the moulding that is available is great. Very clever.

  - Jo, October 8th, 2008 at 12:41 pm

• Last night I was watching Top Design (an interior design reality show – what can I say? I’m a Reality TV Junkie) – and the episode was all abouit green design. It made me thankful that I have molding that is green. Everyone should go green! Recycle items that were going to be thrown away and use it as art! Don’t waste!!!

  - Jen, October 9th, 2008 at 10:49 am

• Being Green is so important right now. The human race as a whole has brought a horrible decline to our environment. And if everyone helps a little bit, it will all help. I know that saving our environment is important to me, but sometimes I feel alone in this whole thing. I see litter on the sides of the roads and it really irks me a lot. How can someone intentionally destroy our earth, where we live and breathe? If everyone does not make an effort, then this whole saving the environment thing will have no effect. Thankfully going green has been getting so much bigger. I’m so glad that there is a company that provides good products that are environmentally friendly. The crown moldings and ceiling medallions offered on this web site are great. They look classy, and is classy for the environment. Thank you for the opportunity to make my house one step greener.

  - Cornelius, October 17th, 2008 at 3:58 pm

• LOL, I watch Top Design every week! I love it. But I totally agree. I love how shows are trying to incorporate Green Design. That why I love places like InviginHome.com becuase they make it so easy to shop for green molding. Most of the other websites I have visited dont even offer Greeg molding. I am just glad that the Green Trend is finally becoming a concern with everyone!!

  - Barbara, October 17th, 2008 at 4:45 pm

• I saw that same episode of Top Design! I am SOO glad that Wisit is gone. He was seriously annoying me. I mean, he was such a priss! And the singing at the end was a little over the top. But when all is said and done, he deserved to go home. Nothing in that room was green. He should have seen this site with the amazing “Green” Molding and realized what he needed to do. This site is totally awesome and I love how everyone is going green. People are finally starting to realize what we are doing to our environment and I think it totally rocks that they’re finally seeing what I have been seeing for a long time now!

  (P.S. New show tonight, right???)

  - Damian, October 20th, 2008 at 4:09 pm

• Green living is so important right now. I know I’m just basically repeating what everyone else is saying – but I just want to reiterate what people are saying! Green Design is huge right now. And it’s about time. The human race has been adding all of these toxins and everything into the air. I know that we will never be able to make the earth as pure as it should be, but if everyone makes an effort, then we can make a difference! So if everyone who buys molding and ceiling medallions and whatever else is made out of this polyurethane, then we are just doing one more service for our homeland.

  - Tara, October 22nd, 2008 at 10:03 am

• I love Green Design and I am so glad that other people are starting to come together and realize what is going on. It’s about time!

  - Lily, October 31st, 2008 at 3:57 pm

• I agree with Lily. It IS about time! I stopped using styrofoam and other harmful products years ago, when I learned of the harmful things we have been doing to our planet. And now I don’t have to worry about adding to the polution just because I want to add some decorative touches to the architecture of my house. I am so glad I found this place.

  - Rose, November 4th, 2008 at 12:12 pm

• My parents instilled a lot of environmental awareness in me and I have to say that they would be so pleased to see something like this now. They both passed a few years ago before this whole “green” frenzy came about. But I think they would be proud if they knew what we, as people, were trying to do to save our environment. I congratulate you on providing something that will not harm our earth.

  - Hope, November 7th, 2008 at 12:15 pm

• I am so happy that I found this here website. Lately, my wife has been wanting to upgrade the house. I swear I thought about this for a while, but I couldn’t find anything that suited my home here in New Orleans. I really like this idea of green things. You know, when I was young, we didn’t much think about our effect on the earth. I have been trying to find a place to talk to some more people and get some tips. I’m been thinking about renovating the kitchen in a way that’s good for this environment. I started trying to clean up my act last week by getting rid of my styrofoam plates. I need ideas for some low-electricity lighting and I hope y’all can help me.

  - Hearl, November 9th, 2008 at 12:51 am

• I know what you mean, Hearl. I am doing the same thing. I refuse to use styrofoam. And used energy efficient lighting is next on my list, along with buying the green molding that needs to go with it of course. I’m so glad that these moldings are CFC Free and Formaldehyde Free AND it’s recycable. Can you get any better than that??

  - Hethlon, November 10th, 2008 at 6:06 pm

• I mean, styrofoam is like the worst possible material, EVER! We’re learning how to go green in school, and oh my god, styrofoam is so bad! It, like, never breaks down. And if it burns, the chemicals that are released into the air are so not good for the earth. You know, vinyl siding is really bad too. I saw this documentary once where people in this European factory all died or got throat cancer because of the fumes it gives off when it’s made. That’s going to be a big trend in green, I’ll tell you. Especially when everyone hears how bad it is for the earth and environment and all. I’m SO happy to see a place where you can talk to people about what’s good for your home and the earth and environment.

  - Amy, November 10th, 2008 at 9:41 pm

• I know that we are being all high and mighty about going green and such, but i think that we have plenty of time before overhauling our lives. These leftist crazies try to convince us that the world is going to end, but i disagree– i will take my damn time if i want to– how many times have we head that the world will end?

  - Judy, November 12th, 2008 at 1:26 am

• Amy, I swear you completely read my mind. For real. I am learning about all of the horrible emissions we are releasing into our air and it completely sucks. I mean, I hope that someday we will be able to still walk around like we do today. What happens when we kill off all of our trees? What will happen to our children and their children and even THEIR children? Will there even be an earth anymore? I was looking up green friendly products for a high school project and I came across this site, and I am SOOO glad I did. Seriously, it is SO good to know that a lot of people are at least aware of the problem, right?

  - Gabby, November 12th, 2008 at 10:55 am

• I had no idea what CFCs were until I read this article. It really is amazing that we are able to actually do something about this. I am impressed with what there is available on this website.

  - Paige, November 12th, 2008 at 3:26 pm

• I am also impressed with this website. I think it’s great that there are green products like this available. And the mouldings and medallions that are offered are great! They’re classy, yet there are some options for those who are leaning towards the art deco style. It’s great!

  - Quinn, November 13th, 2008 at 4:40 pm

• Wow. I was doing a research project on going green and I’m not going to lie, I had no idea what it was about. It was an assigned project. But I have learned so much! I think it’s great that green friendly molding is available. It really does help us not harm the earth, that’s for sure.

  - Ebon, November 14th, 2008 at 11:53 am

• Green design is especially important now. And seeing all of these people writing and supporting the ideas of green design is really heartwarming. I’m glad there are other people besides me and my buddies that care about our environment. And every little bit helps. If one person changes one thing about their daily routine and make it so that it is “green friendly” then that is such a good effort at helping us to prevent more horrible things to happen to our homeland.

  - Michael, November 17th, 2008 at 6:14 pm

• I used to never care about the environment, but now I am aware of what is going on. I recycle everything now, and we have a compost pile. Me and my girlfriend carpool a lot now to not only save on gas, but to save on emissions as well (We don’t have public transportation where we live, otherwise, we would be doing that too). And now I have found some molding that will be eco-friendly as well. We’ve been wanting to create a nice space in our house, but be environmentally friendly as well, and now we have found a way. it’s so great.

  - Peter, November 20th, 2008 at 12:59 pm

• The products that are offered on this site are great. I’ve been seeing a lot of people go green lately, so adding luxury to the home can be a bit limited when it comes to that department. However, I will have to make sure that people know about this. It’s a way to add luxury to your home, without hurting the environment in the process.

  - Phillip, November 21st, 2008 at 3:56 pm

• I think it great that a company like youe is seeing the value in eco-friendly products and how they reduce our impact on the earth. I have been milling single slab pieces for people for over 25 years and would like to help your efforts open up new styles for your clients with the one of a kind items from across the west coast.It would be wounderful to hear back from one of your buyers soon I have walnut redwood pecan black acasia and fir live edged slabs and more. A friend of mine told me about your site and I will wait for your reply with much excitement. Have a green day!

  - Chris, November 21st, 2008 at 11:47 pm

• Wow. I think it is fantastic that so many people are showing interest, or awareness at least, about helping our environment. And this is a very impressive website. It’s great to see that even businesses are starting to care about the earth.

  - Stephen, November 26th, 2008 at 11:15 am

• I have been seeing more and more of this “green” thinking. I have just started thinking about it myself. It really is so smart to be contientious about how we are affecting our environment. I know that with most everything I buy, I try to buy eco-friendly products. And I recycle every week. It’s important that we try to conserve what natural beauty this earth has so that maybe some day generations to come will be able to see what we see and take for granted every day.

  - Wanda, December 4th, 2008 at 1:05 pm

• I try to do the same thing. I’m even thinking about solar power. I know it’s expensive, but it will make my home that much more “green”. I’m so glad there are options on this website that will allow me to keep my home green while looking beautiful and luxurious. Who knew luxury could be easy without hurting our environment?

  - Patti, December 9th, 2008 at 5:31 pm

• It’s great to know that there are alternatives to the harmful molding that is made with the CFCs and formaldyhide. It also makes me relieved since we are remodeling our house and then I read about how some moldings have these harmful chemicals in them in an article somewhere. I was relieved when I saw that the molding available here didn’t have those things. And if the weather lately hasn’t given anyone any indication of global warming, then they must be crazy.

  - Joseph, December 17th, 2008 at 6:25 pm

• Yeah, going green is so big. I think it’s great that such a big company like you has environmentally friendly options available to those who still want to renovate their homes.

  - Mike, December 23rd, 2008 at 2:46 pm

• I know what you mean Joseph! I live in Boston and a couple of weeks ago, it was warm here, yet snowing in some of the higher elevations of southern California and in Texas. And then we got dumped on last weekend. The weather has been so crazy lately. I think it’s great that there are solutions available.

  - Rod, December 24th, 2008 at 1:33 pm

• I am an avid believer that people are destroying the earth. After reading Rod’s comments, it really makes me shake my head at what we are doing to the place where we live and breathe. I recycle everything, and try to use as little energy as possible. I know I am only one person, but it’s just a little bit less energy that we are all using as a people. If everyone did what I do everyday, then we would be a lot better off. My wife will be pleased that we will be able to buy something that is environmentally friendly, yet luxurious at the same time. She’ll love it.

  - Terry, December 30th, 2008 at 10:40 am

• I think everyone should go green! I’ve been environmentally aware for years now and it’s about time others step up to the plate. Now if only we could get EVERYONE in on this with us then this world may last even longer.

  - Paul, January 2nd, 2009 at 3:47 pm

• Yes, I understand what you are saying. I am happy that our country, or even many other places in the world, are realizing that we are destroying this planet on which we live and breathe. Eventually I am afraid that we will kill everything in our beautiful nature and our future generations will have to live in bubbles with controlled air systems because we won’t even have any trees left. I know this all seems very extreme, but what if it really happens? Going green will at least prolong the effects that we have on our planet.

  - Lavinia, January 14th, 2009 at 11:17 am

• So I was watching TV the other day and flipping through all of our gazillion channels and I came across at network that is all about Green Design. I ended up stopping for something that was featured and I have learned so much about green design since then. So I started surfing the internet and I came across this website. I think it’s great that there are things that are available that is not only some high-end stuff, but it’s environmentally friendly as well. Great job and keep up the good work!

  - Tom, January 20th, 2009 at 11:15 am

• I’ve been hearing more and more about green design. I think it’s great that our country is starting to, or has been, helping us become more aware of our global warming issues. It’s great that we are coming together and trying to work on this big problem.

  - James, January 21st, 2009 at 1:17 pm

• I just found out that there is an entire tv channel devoted to Green Design. I really think they should start showing more products like these. Not only are they beautiful, but they’re environmentally friendly? I think it’s great that there are companies out there who care about the environment as much as I do. So thank you for doing your part, and I will be sure to spread the word about your beautiful products. I just placed an order for the Los Angeles Art Deco Crown Molding and I can’t wait to see it in my house!

  - Delia, February 13th, 2009 at 10:49 am

• I have been trying to use green products to build our new house. I was excited when I came across this polyurethane molding. Not only is is green friendly, but it is gorgeous as well! I am so glad that there is a solution out there to this environment problem. Not necessarily a solution, but at least it’s a step in the right direction!

  - Kirsten, March 11th, 2009 at 1:22 pm

• I am so excited to have just purchased molding that is good for the environment! I always try to be good about using earth friendly products, and I would have never thought that I would find environmentally friendly molding. Even though all things can’t be good for the environment I love seeing companies take small steps towards going green. Believe it or not every little bit helps!

  - Kelsey, March 16th, 2009 at 1:37 pm

• I think it is fantastic how you are providing the general public with such wonderful products. I just recently installed crown molding, and have decided to spruce up my dining room with panel molding as well. I really like how these moldings are so green friendly. Preserving our environment has recently become very important to me and I truly appreciate the opportunity to redesign my home with beautiful moldings that will not be harming our environment.

  - Roberta, April 15th, 2009 at 9:24 am

• I am so glad to hear that even household products such as molding is going green. I purchase everything I can that is good for the environment, and thought I was going to have to skip on molding, but I was wrong. I am so happy that everyone is more concerned about our environment these days!

  - Vanessa, April 24th, 2009 at 2:44 pm

• I think it’s insane what the weather has been like in the past year. Look at all of these crazy blizzards and tornadoes and earthquakes. I think the fact that we are killing the ozone has something to do with it. It makes me nervous for the future. I’m trying to do my part by helping the environment by “going green” (mostly because my daughter is a huge environmentalist). I feel like I am helping a least a little bit by going green. I think these products are definitely helpful and I think more companies should go in this direction. Why shouldn’t household repairs, etc. be green and environmentally friendly as well? I think this is a great idea.

  - Alberta, May 6th, 2010 at 11:25 am

• [...] remodeling, look for materials that do not contain harmful chemicals– be it actual details or the glue that holds it all together! Look for CFC/ HCFC free [...]

  - It’s Not Easy Being Green?, July 8th, 2010 at 11:37 am

• Going Green has been something many companies are moving towards. This makes me happy. I’m happy there are moldings and such that can be considered a green product and not harm our environment anymore that the people on this earth already has.

  - Rodger, October 26th, 2010 at 12:50 pm

• I have been designing a green home for a few years now. It’s been a slow process, but I have a few solar panels and a rain water collection system. My home will be so efficient soon. I was extremely delighted when a friend told me about this website and how it offers green moldings. How perfect. I was recently thinking my home needed a little pizazz. I think this will do the trick. Thank you so much!
