Tadelakt plaster finish not only looks beautiful, creating a sleek and simple finish, it’s made of all natural materials and is natural mold and mildew resistant.

We definitely recommend tadelakt over tile finishes for bathrooms and kitchens. No more grout lines and no more cleaning with chemicals. ✨

You don't have to go all the way to Portland to find Green Certified Kitchen or Bath Cabinets! We have partnered with Huggy Bear's Cupboards to bring green cabinetry directly to the Gorge. Stop by our Showroom and see what your new kitchen or bath could look like!

"Huggy Bear’s is committed to providing natural products and processes that are earth friendly and environmentally responsible. We have made many changes in our products and processes to achieve this goal. In 2007, we cut our volatile waste 43% by distilling and recycling the dregs from our paint room. We reformulated our finish which reduced HAPS from 1.08 lb/gal to zero, VOC’s from 4.81 to 4.3 lb/gal and virtually no formaldehyde. We have added Lyptus to our wood selection, which is sustainably grown (see lyptus.com). We’ve also included Bamboo in our Europa collection. Bamboo is a grass and is considered a renewable resource. We have met all the requirements for the KCMA’s Environmental Stewardship Program and CARB (California Air Resources Board) Airborne Toxic Control Measure Phase I.

Happy Fourth of July from Happy Healthy Home NW!

Here are some tips from the Hood River News for the 4th:

"Forest visitors, leave fireworks at home
For many, the Fourth of July means celebrating our country’s independence with barbecues, camping and, of course, fireworks. The Mt. Hood National Forest encourages the public to enjoy the holiday weekend, but to do so safely — and to be especially mindful of wildfire prevention on public lands.

While there are no campfire restrictions at this time, campers are encouraged to think carefully before starting a campfire and to take measures to ensure that their fire burns safely and is thoroughly extinguished before leaving camp.

Visitors to national forests should always use caution to prevent human-caused wildfires. To reduce wildfire risk, please consider the following:

Fireworks are never allowed on federal public lands. This includes smaller consumer fireworks such as sparklers, firecrackers, bottle rockets and smoke balls.

Before camping, learn of any fire restrictions in place and never leave a campfire unattended. Build campfires in open areas, preferably in existing fire rings. Make sure campfires are fully out and cool to the touch before leaving the area. (Please use the water and shovel technique.)

When smoking, always dispose of cigarette debris in an ashtray.

Avoid driving and parking in tall grasses. Exhaust particles and hot exhaust pipes can start grass fires. Even chains dragging along the ground, such as those on ATVs, can spark fires.

Richard Periman, Mt. Hood National Forest supervisor, said, “Enjoy your national forest, but please, leave the fireworks at home!”"

Stay safe this weekend!

Fire risk in Oregon is already high, and as the weeks go by that risk will only increase, so there is no room for error in fireworks safety.”

Many natural homes are being made from recycled building materials. Diverting materials from the waste stream to build houses greatly reduces the amount of trash that is burned or buried in landfills.- excerpt from "The Natural House" by Daniel D. Chiras

What do you think it is?

The common assumption is that it’s 100% — but is that correct?
