I’ve realized something. Looking at individual furnishings is great, but it tends to be more inspirational to see these items in a room that is fully put together. That, and I just love drooling over photos of beautifully decorated rooms
All of this is to introduce a new feature here at Green Your Decor: Friday Room Reveal. Every Friday, I will leave you for the weekend with a beautiful, eco-friendly, finished room to admire. Some will be from readers and regular people just like you and I, and others will be from bona fide interior designers. Hopefully, this will inspire you to finish your own rooms with eco-friendly decor and submit them to be featured. As soon as I finish my own rooms, I’ll show you those too
Without further adieu, here are the details for this week’s room: reader Kerri’s nursery for her little girl, Arabella. In Kerri’s words:
I’m an avid reader of your blog and would like to submit my daughter’s eco-friendly nursery to be featured on the site. Almost everything in the room is organic and/or eco-friendly. We live in a rental apartment, so we could not control the paint or wall to wall carpeting. However, we live in a green building so those materials are likely less toxic than in a traditional apartment building. We spent so many hours and months trying to create a truly non-toxic, yet beautiful, space for our daughter. It’s nice to know we succeeded!

Green Your Decor was borne of frustration in my attempts to find eco-friendly housewares that were also beautiful, and inspiration to do something to reduce my own carbon footprint and help others do the same in a beautiful way.

What a beautiful nursery! I love the beautiful art work on the walls!
Her nursery is so beautiful. Especially the artwork.
She does state that all of the baby’s clothing are mostly organic cotton or bamboo…does she provide any of the retailers? I would love to find more organic clothing for my children.
Hugs and Mocha,

Wow!I love this room…so clean & beautiful…makes me want that room for myself.I love that it’s not filled with so much frou frou, I love the simple furniture & colors of the room.
What a beautiful room! I love the effort these wonderful parents went to, to create a healthy, attractive, and stimulating space for their child. It’s a great example!
