Home Renovations

So today I proudly packed up every screw and bracket that held up a vintage metal curtain rod, for every window of the home we just purchased and took it all to the scrap metal bin at SOCCRA. Along with vintage, and when I mean vintage I mean 1950s chemicals and paints to the Household Hazardous Waste drop off. It felt good to do it the right way when it would have been so easy to put it in the trash. (Especially since it was such a cruddy day of drizzly non-stop rain) but the angel on my environmental shoulder was louder than the devil. Another great green thing we were able to do is use no-VOC paint for all of our painting. Sherwin Williams and PPG both carry a very high quality product and the side effect- no stink. Got to love it.

On the imperfect side of myself today, my son and I used aerosol spray paint to decorate his foam balls (meant to look like Dunkin Donut Munchkins) we used glow in the dark glue (who knows what kind of chemicals are in that) and sprinkled Halloween sprinkles on the exterior. Needless to say I've been craving munchkins all day.
