Houston Learns to Go Green with Antiques

Houston Business Journal: Face to Face with Tricia Keuhnert-Gillespy, 2008-Jun-6, by Casey Wooten: We are finding that baby boomers and younger generations like the fact that the environmental carbon footprint for antiques is neutral. No trees have to come down and no paints and stains have to be manufactured to have a truly beautiful piece of furniture. It's a very green industry. Also, our estate auctions are very green as well. Instead of leaving furniture, china, silver and other household furnishings in storage for years, we sell these items at our Thursday night auction for those families and businesses experiencing lifestyle transitions.
