 Elkay's Water Dispenser:
"It is so important to drink
lots and lots of water for
optimum health. I love
that this new built-in water dispenser from Elkay
makes drinking water
easier. Plus, the NSFcertified filter reduces lead
and other harmful contaminants in the water."

 Wolf Convection Steam Oven:
"Cooking with steam keeps more
nutrients in your food and eliminates the need for oils. My favorite is
the Wolf Convection Steam Oven
because of the large, easy-to-access
water tank, which holds enough
for up to 90 minutes of continuous
steam. I also love the ability to install
these ovens with a flush installation
for a sleek and modern look."

 Plato Woodwork Cabinetry: "This cabinetry
has no formaldehyde and features low-VOC
finishes, and all of Plato's standard materials are
certified CARB II (California Air Resource
Board) compliant and certified NAUF (no
added urea formaldehyde). That way you can
breathe easy in your home!" Design by Paige Lee

 Cambria Quartz: "Cambria is one
of my favorite quartz brands because
of the wide range of color options,
eco-friendly properties and commitment to sustainability. I especially
like Cambria's Sanibel Shoreline - it
reminds me of our sandy tan beaches
here in Northern Michigan."

live plants in our
homes helps promote
indoor air quality. They
also have a powerful
healing effect on our
bodies (emotionally
and physically). They
can provide a source of
nutrition, if growing
edible plants such as
herbs or veggies. These
live walls specifically
add to the design of a
home and offer a way
for the homeowners
to express themselves
artistically."

Shower: "Steam showers

 Floatation Tub from TOTO: "This tub can help relieve
pressure on joints and the body by creating a zerogravity feeling. My city just opened a 'Float Spa' with
tubs like these, and it is the ultimate way to relax
after a long day. I definitely want one in my house!"

promote healthy skin
and relaxed muscles in
addition to relieving
stress and opening up
nasal passageways. I like
this one from Kohler
because it is easy to use,
is eco-friendly and has
a built-in reservoir for
holding essential oils."

 Grohe Blue:
"Not only does
this faucet/water system clear
your water
from harmful
substances, but
it also allows
your home to
become bottle
free. I especially love the carbonated water
setting (no more cans of La Croix!)."
