About The Home Green
Life is made up of little, everyday moments - moments that happen largely in the home.
Morning coffee before the house wakes up, family dinners around a well-loved table, children building forts in the living room, friends lingering on the porch after sunset. Theses are the parts of life that quietly become the memories we carry with us.
That's why creating a home worth keeping is about more than impressing your neighbors, or being trendy. It's building a home that supports your life and adds to it's joy.
Our philosophy
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've realized that the homes we admire most aren't necessarily the newest or the 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.
A truly beautiful home is something you cultivate and create, one thoughtful decision at a time.
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
