Adrian Grenier Is Remodeling an N.Y.C. Townhouse for His Mom - Here's What He's Buying (Hint: Blue Mind)
Posted on Jan 11th, 2018Adrian Grenier is all about the green.
The Entourage star has long been an advocate for environmental issues. He co-founded the Lonely Whale foundation — an organization dedicated to improving the world’s oceans through movements like The Strawless Ocean — and was recently named a UN Environmental Goodwill Ambassador.
Now, the 41-year-old actor is bringing his eco-friendly work back home. As he remodels a Brooklyn townhouse for his mother, Karesse, Grenier is focused on choosing features that highlight and contribute to his cause. He’s channeling his inner HGTV host for mom’s benefit (and his own — he’s building in a master suite for when he visits) and picking up products that are both chic and sustainable.
Here, the top five favorite décor pieces he has his eye on for the refreshed space:
