Smart Home: Green + Wired 2010 August 2, 2010

The 'Smart Home: Green + Wired' exhibit, a fully-functioning, eco-friendly home on the Museum's grounds, is once again transformed for 2010 by Midwest Living. The home has been redesigned to reflect the lifestyle of a couple looking to minimize home maintenance, maximize efficiency and settle in to a space that not only is beautiful, but functional. The 2010 exhibit will emphasize great spaces for entertaining, a master bedroom that serves as a retreat, a whimsical nursery/playroom and a functional home office--all of which keep in mind natural elements and harmony with the earth. The design features soft, organic textures and colors fused with a contemporary style. See the home that has shown more than 200,000 guests some ways, big and small, to make eco-friendly living a part of their lives. 'Smart Home: Green + Wired' is a must-see exhibit for anyone who wants their home, and life, to be smarter, more efficient and more in tune with the environment than it is today.
