Elizabeth Edwards Is In The Home Decor Business

Filed under: Decor

The estranged wife of Senator John Edwards isn't just an author, she's also a store owner. Home Accents today reports that Elizabeth Edwards will appear on The Nate Berkus Show on September 17 to discuss not just her life and her husband but also Red Window, her furniture store in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The store is a setting for a portion of the interview. Offering both furniture and smaller home goods, the store has been in business for about a year. A reporter from Home Accents Today last year found former Senator Edwards working at his wife's store when she popped in for a visit. It turns out that in addition to a law degree, Senator Edwards has a bachelor's degree in textile technology from N.C. State. The business appears to be a success. Red Window is currently expanding into a large warehouse space.

More green development, this time from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Greenbridge Developments is creating a $30 million condominium and retail project with some major green features. The building promises to use solar energy to help power the units, rainwater catch basins to catch water, soil-covered rooftops, a central air filtration system and energy saving appliances. Green materials are also being used including cork floors and bamboo cabinets. The construction of the building will also be as green as possible. They plan to recycle much of the construction waste back into the building. The building is seeking to get a LEED Gold certification. The building will have 100 condominium units and more than 25,000 square feet of retail space in ten stories, making it the tallest building in Chapel Hill. Prices will mainly fall in the $225,000 and $350,000 range with the largest and most expensive units going past $1 million. The building is set to be completed in 2009.
