Home Run


Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters reupholster a small sofa instead of buying a new one, we'll save the weight of nearly three blue whales in waste from entering landfills.

Cocktail Tidbit
Chicago’s design-haven Merchandise Mart (at 4.2 million square feet, the largest commercial space in the world) recently became the city’s fifth building to earn LEED certification.

Wanna score big on the home field? Get Karen Kaplan’s New Leaf Interiors in the game. Call up Karen to eco-ize big or small projects around your pad or office, using sustainable materials such as soy-and-corn-oil-based upholstery foam rather than petroleum-based stuff, and artisan touches (see photo).  A member of the LEED-certifying U.S. Green Building Council, Karen’s also a clutch pinch hitter when it comes to estate sales (she’ll go shopping with you), energy-saving light fixtures (she’ll design one for you), and all kinds of consultations (color, feng shui, de-cluttering). Nice game.

Wanna Try?
New Leaf Interiors, 8305 Keystone Ave. b/t Main and Madison Sts., Skokie (847-675-7887).

Book a one-hour (or longer) consultation with New Leaf Interiors through July, and get 20% off.
