In the months since I started Green Your Decor, among the comments I frequently get, both in person and here at the blog, is that going green is too either too expensive, not practical, or too hard to implement in a whole room. Those comments inspired this series, “Green Rooms in Box.” On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week and in coming weeks, I will present fully furnished rooms, from paint to lighting and furniture, in three price ranges:
* Under $2500
* Under $5000
* Over $5000
Each week, I will feature a different room, starting this week with the living room. I will then move on to the dining room, master bedroom, child’s bedroom and nursery, for a total of 5 weeks.
Each idea box will include numbered products. See the list below the photo for all those products along with their prices, a brief description of their green qualities and a link to where you can get them. Some of the products have been featured at Green Your Decor before. In those cases, the links will be to the in-depth GYD entries. Each room will also include one item that can be considered a “splurge”. In other words, it is outside the stated budget, but would be a great complement to the room if you can afford it.

I’m Jennae Petersen, and I’m a lot of things. A mother, a graphic artist, a connosieur of beautiful interiors and a purveyor of all things design. 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.
