'housing on the tube' telethon

We are very proud to have been a part of the 2009 Island Affordable Housing Fund's 'Housing On The Tube' telethon! The Island Affordable Housing Fund helps fund affordable year-round housing for residents of Martha's Vineyard. Thanks to those who donated and/or volunteered their time, this year's telethon raised over $650,000 to put towards that effort. For more information on donating to The Island Affordable Housing Fund, click here.

thanks new england home magazine!

We appreciate New England Home Magazine featuring our many shades of green™ line in the "Trade Secrets" section of their July/August issue!

Designer now furniture manufacturer Liz Stiving-Nichols couldn't find much furniture with zero-VOC paint, so she embarked on making her own line of furniture using non-toxic, non-off-gassing paint. Her line, called Many Shades of Green includes beach house and cottage colors such as Menemsha Sunset, an extreme orange; Gingerbread Blue, a shade deeper than sky or robin's egg, named for the gingerbread homes in Oak Bluffs; Wampum, a unique dusty purple "like the inside of a quahog shell"; Firefly, a fiery chartreuse; and Chowda, an off white.
