Blog reviews national trend towards green high-rises.
Inhabitat (10/23) reports on the "rise of the Green High-Rises" across the U.S. If you "look skyward in any major American city...you're likely to see a soaring new green high-rise. With scarce land in urban areas, the cost of housing skyrocketing, and increasing demand for better communities, high-density development is experiencing a renaissance in the U.S." And as "consumers look for long-term savings and seek to live in healthier environments, more big developers have grasped onto the fact that the green in the building can lead to green in the bank." The article profiles a number of new high-rise projects in urban areas nationwide, with photographs.

California's Palo Alto Online (10/22) reports, "Eighty-six-year old Violette Bragg is losing her eyesight to glaucoma. She has lived in the same Palo Alto house for the past 47 years and feels fortunate that she is so accustomed to the space and that she lives with her son and daughter." Still, Ms. Bragg falls in her home often... an experience that is typical for older adults. Studies "show that more than one-third of all adults over 65 suffer a fall each year." But "many of these accidents could be avoided by taking pre-emptive remodeling action at home." Among the changes made by the Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Ms. Bragg's home were removing all the scatter rugs, adding "grab bars in the bathroom, a mat in the tub...and a hand-held shower hose." Also, "for seniors who have to deal with staircases, suggestions include putting a light switch at both the bottom and top, securing rails and installing non-slip skids."

Hi everyone! It has been a busy week but all's well in the world of Cedar Key Interiors (CKI for short!) Fall is in the air! There is a scent of autumn and the vivid colors are just beginning to pop.

My hope is to use this as a sounding board to those of you out there who are interested in design - both residential and commercial. New advancements in the field are introduced every day so stay in-touch and come back to visit often!
