Many people don’t trust their valuable rugs to commercial cleaners, but Revita Rugs offers an unparalleled professional service by using softened, pure, filtered water and organic soaps without dye or perfume. Our “green” commitment even extends to the pollution-limiting trucks we use to transport your rugs. To find out more about our high tech, eco-friendly cleaning process, check out our website or call for more information—because timeless rugs require modern cleaning techniques.

Violet Interior Design is a full-service design company that creates beautiful, functional spaces in both renovations and new construction. As the mother of two young sons, owner Pia Rivera found herself inspired to create rooms that were beautiful, but also safe for children, by using natural fabrics, low VOC paints, and furniture made without formaldehyde or toxic glues. This green-friendly philosophy extends into all areas of her business: she makes use of refurbished materials such as reclaimed woods, and tries to make sure that old materials from her renovations are donated to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity—instead of ending up in landfills. Her firm creates spaces that are eclectic and timeless, so clients don’t tire of a space that adheres too closely to just one aesthetic.
