![HGTV’s Green Home Giveaway 2008
GDG has been following news + videos of HGTV’s Green Home Giveaway and is pleased to hear that they’ve successfully completed construction of the home in Hilton Head, South Carolina. It’s encouraging to see that after so many years of giving away Dream Homes, they’ve finally thrown in a fabulous green one.
If the full virtual tour and additional slideshows aren’t enough for you, they’ll be airing a special presentation episode on HGTV [U.S.] later this month. The grand sweepstakes for the $850,000 home begins on March 21st, culminating in the grand finale giveaway episode, presented live on June 8that 10pm ET / 7pm PT.
Naturally, what I find most useful about all of this information is their resources page, where they list all of the green products used in the building of the coveted Green Home. Keep in mind that they’ve listed all sorts of products [including toasters, etc.], but that’s because they need to feature all of the sponsors involved. What is of more interest to eco.design lovers are the green building materials, finishes, lighting, furniture and bathroom fixtures used.
Knowing how labour intensive it is to source design and architectural products [particularly green ones — and ones that I’ve had to find for HGTV shows on tight deadlines!], I am quite impressed by their detailed lists including prices and direct links to retailers. If you’re contemplating greening your home and need to source what products are out there, this would be a good one to bookmark and a great place to start.
:note: These products are for the Green Home Giveaway by HGTV U.S., so the prices are in U.S. dollars. However, many of the big ticket items have international distributors with retailers worldwide.
