Description: From plants and garden supplies to books, furniture, pottery, glassware, non-toxic water bottles, and so much more, all good for you and the environment. Owner David Buscher says their motto is “Healthy Living through Conscious Design.” Every item is either reclaimed, recycled, and/or made of recyclable materials; uses alternative or managed resources; conserves natural resources; is locally made; is handmade; is organic, natural, or chemical-free; is durable, long-lasting, or collectable; or energy efficient. Some meet more than one of those requirements. You’ll have one of those “oh, wow” moments when you see the Vinylux record bowl ($26), made from an old LP record. Bluehouse is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
