Our Efforts Come to Life
Our New Braunfels Office is excited to share that they had their first BIG trip to the recycling center! Marco, Joel Medrano, and Scotty Duenez all helped load and unload recyclables! Scotty and Nicole Henderson cruised through downtown New Braunfels with their truck beds loaded up with aluminum cans, water bottles, and cardboard.

Battery Tech is Changing
If you’re paying just a little attention, you’re probably noticing all the new developments happening in the space of renewable electricity capture and electrical storage in general. Here’s another example of a small change with HUGE implications on the global stage, reducing our reliance upon scarce and toxic-to-extract materials.

The True Cost of Food
Many if not most of the costs associated with products in any industry - construction included and especially – externalizes a significant proportion of their charged price Next time you buy anything, consider that there’s more to it that isn’t reflected in the price you immediately pay…but the price will be paid nonetheless. Making informed choices will indeed make a difference, but you may not see it. It may seem small in the grand picture of life, but enough small gestures effects large change, for better or worse.
Featured Podcast
In this episode of House of Lou, Veronica is joined by Shannon Callahan, outreach specialist at Bring Conservation Home, and Susie Van de Riet, owner of St. Louis Native Plants, to discuss the popular topic of native plants and "rewilding" outdoor spaces to their natural state. St. Louis' landscape, climate, and rich biodiversity makes it an ideal environment for cultivating native plants. Shannon and Susie share why we should care more about our local flowers, shrubs, and trees and how to restore original flora and animal habitats to your property. Plus, Veronica touches on exciting updates happening around her home, including refinishing an antique secretary desk and renovating the original tile work on the front entrance of the house. Get updates and photos from these projects on Veronica's Instagram (@vtlookbook) or in the weekly Design+Home newsletter.
