Hi newbie, and welcome to Green Your Decor! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so you don't miss a thing. And have you visited my other site, Green & Gorgeous? If not, you don't know what you're missing!

A few months back, my family and I toured the Greenhaven eco-friendly show home in Marietta, GA, right outside Alanta. To say that the home was gorgeous would be an understatement, so when Atlanta interior designer Laurie White contacted me with photos of the media room she designed at Greenhaven, I was more than happy to add it to the Friday Room Reveal lineup! I did include some photos of the design in my Flickr photo set after our tour, but these professional shots by Attic Fire Photography really do the room more justice than my Nikon D40 and intermediate photo skills ever could.

There are very few things made of vinyl that would ever knowingly make it into my home. I would, however, make an exception for some classic records, if I could ever get my hands on a record player. I can still remember growing up listening to Whitney Houston and the Jackson 5 on vinyl, and there’s something about that sound that can’t be duplicated digitally. I’m sure my music-loving hubby would agree. But since I don’t think we’ll be hunting for a record player any time soon (although we’d probably find one right next to an 8-track player in some thrift store), this mirror is a great way to pay homage to the sound of vinyl — and keep it out of the landfill.

I have never been afraid of color, but I’m also not a fan of painting, then repainting. For that reason, I tend to stick to neutral — or at least versatile — colors on the walls and the largest pieces of furniture in the room, preferring instead to add pops of color with accessories. You’d never know that if you walked into my living room and saw the elephant in the room — a.k.a. the red sectional we bought before I knew better — but take my word for it. For subtle, glam, holiday-friendly accents, accessorize with items like these recycled glass vases from Bambeco.

Back when I first started Green Your Decor, there weren’t very many websites dedicated to selling eco-friendly home furnishings. They existed, but tended to be hard to find or feature only a limited number of items. At the time, green retailer Green Culture was the exception to the rule. There’s a reason I included the retailer on my list of the top 10 online resources for eco-friendly decorating. They have a vast collection of eco-friendly furnishings for every room. For decor addicts like me, it’s easy to spend hours browsing the sites under their umbrella.

Over the past few weeks, I have been obsessing about what to put on the wall behind our sectional. Given the huge size of the sofa, we can’t go with something too small or it will be dwarfed in comparison. I don’t know if this reclaimed wood medallion/votive candleholder from Pottery Barn is it, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. And given the sale price of just $70, I’m going to have to pull out the tape measure and my visualization skills in order.
