What a wonderful day for the girls and the horses!

As of April 2010 Federal law requires that homeowners receive an EPA lead pamphlet before renovating six square feet or more of painted surfaces in a room for interior projects or more than twenty square feet of painted surfaces for exterior projects in your home, if it was built before 1978.

Ask your contractor for a copy of his “Lead Certification” certificate prior your home renovation.  AND, be sure to have your contractor give you the brochure on Lead safe practices.

The entire room only cost $219. for materials.

On March 13, 2010 at the Restore in Purcellville a “Redesign on a Dime” event took place.  Ten local designers created a 10×10 space using materials from the restore.  Each space was unique with it’s own theme.  From a wine parlor, to a european sitting room, to a front foyer, to a baby nursery, it was amazing how the designers were able to reuse/restore/recycle!   The Restore will be hosting another event…stay tuned!
