Up-front disclamer: I have a minority stake in Greenspace, the company I’m about to plug here.
If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and are planning to do anything from repainting a bedroom to a full-on renovation, I wanted to plug an amazing store in Santa Cruz that I used when I renovated my townhouse in 2005. Here’s my original posting. I also put up some stunning before and after photos.
Times are really tough in Santa Cruz, with unemployment at 12% or more, so I wanted to let people know that Greenspace works with clients all over the San Francisco Area (and beyond), so send them some love and some business. I live in Mountain View and everwhere I look, people are remodeling and renovating their houses and there are so few good stores around here that have eco-friendly products to choose from, so the 30-45 minute drive to Santa Cruz is worth the effort.
And once you’re in Santa Cruz, you can make a day of it, visiting the beach, doing some hiking, or shopping or eating downtown.
Everything you need to do a renovation is there at Greenspace, including the expertise. Anything from flooring to countertops to paint to everything you need for inside your house after the renovation is done. Feel free to contact me with any questions!
