 Natural Built Home was founded in October of 2005. Our mission was to create a one-stop shop for the safest and most sustainable building supplies. We initially provided these products to our customers on the world wide web through our e-commerce website. Our first brick and mortar showroom opened in Minneapolis on Earth Day in 2006. Since then we have continued to seek out the best green building products to bring to our customers. We want to thank all of our customers for making our first year a success. We look forward to helping you with your new projects in the near future!
Natural Built Home is proud to be a member of the U.S. Green Building Council

From appliances to home decorating, we tell you what to buy and where to find it.
From Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, October 2007
 Browse
the aisles of a supermarket, department store or home-improvement
center for eco-friendly products, and you might conclude that the
greening of America had stalled at the starting gate. Even Home Depot,
which introduced its Eco Options program last summer to identify
products that meet its criteria for environmental friendliness, had few
Eco Options signs at stores we visited, and stickering of individual
products was nearly nonexistent.
Buying
with the environment in mind will get easier as manufacturers adopt
greener practices and offer greener products. But for now, save gas and
aggravation by shopping on the Internet. We've included Web sites for
the products recommended in this story, or go to www.ecobusinesslinks.com.
A number of large cities also have green home centers, such as Amicus,
near Washington, D.C.; Natural Built Home, in Minneapolis; and the
Green Home Center, in San Francisco.

   Shopping Green - October 2007
Featured on This Old House website
More
DIYers than ever before are seeking out earth-friendly home-improvement
options. But even green consumers keen on the concept can be cagey
about committing until they’ve laid eyes—and hands—on the products.
Now, entrepreneurs across the country are addressing consumers’
concerns, and reinventing the traditional home store in the process. If
you’re contemplating an eco-renovation, hop in your hybrid and head to
one of these green showrooms.

 Living Green Expo this weekendVisit an EcoBroker and see insulation made from jeans
Information about unique home products, including creative insulation, can be found at the expo.
"We have cotton insulation made out of recycled denim jeans,"
says Rachel Maloney, of Natural Built Home. "It's totally nontoxic."
Natural Built Home is a sort of "green" Home Depot, located in
Minneapolis. The store will be at the expo to share information about
new products such as bamboo countertops and non-VOC (volatile organic
compound) paints in colors designed for nurseries and to demonstrate
nontoxic plastering.
"I think people are becoming more aware of the products they
surround themselves and their families with at home and that there are
healthier, safer options for them and the environment," Maloney says.

Shop Green For Your House At Local Store
(WCCO)
Minneapolis When you first walk in, it may look like any other
home improvement store, but on closer inspection you'll notice things
aren't what they seem.
Rachel
Maloney, who hardly considered herself a decorator when she opened the
store last year, showed off a set of glass tiles that look like the
ones used in many kitchens today, saying, "These are 100-percent
recycled glass tiles."
Maloney was a geneticist when she and her
husband moved back to the Twin Cities. They bought their home and then
were unable to find some of these natural products for their own home.
So that triggered the idea to open the Natural Built Home Store on 4020 Minnehaha Avenue in Minneapolis. |
