It’s about time things started getting back to “normal” around here, whatever that is, so without further adieu, here’s a post a wrote weeks ago that’s just been itching for me to hit publish.
I’m not a one retailer kind of gal. I promise I’m not. I like to shop around at a variety of stores — both online and in the real world — to find the best of the best, and the greenest of the green. But when West Elm keeps making beautiful, eco-friendly products, I can’t help but return again and again. Seriously, if anyone feels like getting me a post-holiday gift, just shoot me a sizable gift card to West Elm and I guarantee you’ll make me happy. Their new eco-friendly offerings are so gorgeous that I couldn’t pick just one to feature.

My family recently moved into an apartment in an older building that comes with a lot of quirks. The water running from our faucets turns brown on days with a lot of rain, and no matter what we do to get rid of them, we find at least a few occasional spiders and bugs. We can’t do much about these issues, but there were some changes we knew we wanted to make. Among them: Installing a low-flow, handheld showerhead.

I don’t have a whole lot of experience with big remodeling jobs like kitchens or bathrooms, but I know beautiful tilework when I see it. As soon as I saw the recycled glass tile made by Stardust Glass, I knew I’d found something special. Anyone who has been reading this site for any length of time knows that I’m a fan of clean, modern design with a little bit of eclectic personality thrown in, and I love, love, love patterns made from graphic geometric shapes. All of these could be used to describe Stardust tile.

One of the biggest problems my husband and I face is where to keep our dirty laundry. I mean that literally — not figuratively. Right now, we’re using a ratty old collapsible nylon hamper I’ve had since college, and the thing really is on its last legs. But we appreciate that it has a pretty large capacity, where other, more stylish options, are generally designed to hold smaller loads.

I am officially in love. Today, I found a company that combines two of the things I crave most: dessert and decorating. Le Viette makes the most beautiful, delectable-looking towels I’ve ever seen! Their organic cotton and bamboo towels are folded, rolled and otherwise cajoled into dessert-like shapes, complete with fruit adorning the tops. If you’ve ever admired diaper cakes, you’ll love these!

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.
