    Coveted Crib: A Green Home In Joshua Tree

    Sculptor/furniture designer Alma Allen, his main squeeze/business partner Nancy, and their unforgettably regal collie Fritz have just finished building a green house on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. The house is definitely still a work in progress, and they have a lot more finishing to do. Still, the "almost done" results are pretty stunning. Check out the slideshow for some stunning photos of their new home, along with information on some of the green materials and technologies they used in the home.
