Earl is a dedicated high-school science teacher who lives downtown in a lovely three-story house. He rents out the lower portion of his home, so he is limited to the upper floors for his own living space. What once was a third-floor attic is now his master bedroom that opens onto a deck, where he entertains friends on warm summer evenings. To get outside, guests have to walk right through his bedroom, and Earl was unhappy with the space's shabby and outdated look.

Earl practices what he preaches to his students: "Leave as small a footprint on the earth as possible." So when he asked me to redesign his bedroom, he requested that I make it both stylish and ecofriendly. After intensive research into environmentally-sound products and suppliers, I got my team together and geared up to give Earl a completely eco-chic bedroom that would make green look great!
