About The Home Green
The Home Green brings together thoughtful editorial and exceptional craftsmanship to help homeowners create Homes Worth Keeping.
Inspiration
The workshop
The Home Green is a trusted resource for homeowners who want to create homes that become more beautiful, meaningful, and personal over time.
Through thoughtful editorial, renovation stories, timeless design inspiration, and conversations with designers and makers, we help people make decisions they'll still be glad they made years from now.
Some ideas deserve to be built.
Marc designs and creates custom built-ins, libraries, mudrooms, window seats, cabinetry, furniture, and other one-of-a-kind woodworking projects that are tailored to the way your family lives.
Whether it's transforming an awkward alcove into a reading nook, designing a wall of built-in bookcases, creating a dining table that becomes the center of family gatherings, or building cabinetry that makes everyday life more functional, every project is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted to become part of your home's story.
Our philsophy
The Home Green began with a simple belief: beautiful homes and thoughtful choices should never be at odds.
Like many homeowners, we love great design but feel uneasy about the pressure to constantly renovate, replace, and chase the next trend. Over time, though, we realized that the homes we admire most aren't necessarily the newest or most expensive. Beautiful homes evolve organically through thoughtful improvements that tell the story of the people who live there.
Everything we publish, build, and recommend is guided by a few simple beliefs:
- Homes should reflect the people who live in them.
- Good design and thoughtful craftsmanship improve everyday life.
- Quality, restoration, and care create homes with lasting character.
- Sustainability is often the natural result of making thoughtful, long-term decisions.
Meet Amy & Marc
The Home Green is the shared vision of Amy Kleppinger and Marc Poljak.
Amy has been fascinated by homes for as long as she can remember. From childhood dreams of designing rooms to studying art, working in galleries, and spending weekends exploring antique shops, she's always been drawn to spaces with character and objects that stand the test of time.
Marc came to the same philosophy through craftsmanship. Through his custom woodworking business, he designs and builds furniture, built-ins, cabinetry, and one-of-a-kind pieces for homeowners who value timeless design and exceptional quality. His work is rooted in the belief that the things we build should serve families well for generations
