2010 Idea Home: Smart Ideas for Eco-Friendly Decorating

Idea Home: What's smarter than great design that cuts energy costs and helps the environment? When the Chicago Museum of Science + Industry invited Midwest Living® to redesign the interior of their award-winning, all-green Smart Home, we made real-world, responsible choices that are environmentally sensitive and preserve Earth's natural resources.

The home is open to tour at the museum through January 9, 2011. Click in the Related Links box below for information on tours, as well as for a downloadable resource guide and an interactive buying guide.
