Introducing Urban Evolutions’ New Architectural Salvage/Green-Living Blog at http://urbanevolutions.blogspot.com

We’re excited to introduce you to Urban Evolutions’ relatively new blog, dedicated to highlighting our work with reclaimed, eco-friendly materials and to focusing on green solutions to new sustainable home construction, restorations, and interior design.

As an unconventional materials supplier and creative problem-solver with clients ranging from Nike to Anthropologie, we’ve decided to take a fresh and spirited approach to our blog posts, liberally seasoning our news from the front lines of the green living movement with our own singular brand of drollery.

Take a peek at http://urbanevolutions.blogspot.com and let us know what you think.

But wait, before you do, here’s the exciting boilerplate info on our company:

Urban Evolutions rescues great building materials from old-world, quality-constructed spaces. We source an amazing array of reclaimed building materials for a variety of applications.

Urban Evolutions provides materials for everything from home restorations and new sustainable home construction to custom fixtures and design solutions for high-end retail locations.

Although we are dedicated to green building and the use of renewable resources, we are not hippies.
