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. :: READ THE FULL POST

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. :: READ THE FULL POST

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’ve always dreamed of having a beautiful, spa-inspired bathroom where I can relax after a long day of chasing mini me, working and keeping house. Alas, the reality is a drab, boring room that is more function than form. And after you spend 2 hours scrubbing every surface like I did this past weekend, it can be hard to see the room as beautiful. Rhea Alexander from sustainable retailer D.I.G.S. sent me something to help change my perception and add a little sophistication to what is admittedly my least favorite room in the house. :: READ THE FULL POST

With the curtain or door closed, I can personally say that our shower is one of the parts of our home where I’ve shown the least concern about style. Sure, I switched to a spiffy new low-flow shower head a few weeks ago, but my main concern in that case was conserving water. It’s easy to close the door and forget about it. That said, I do have a need for a new shower caddy, considering the years-old, cheap plastic one is now warped and won’t hang straight. I figured if I’m going to replace it, I don’t want to buy more non-recyclable plastic that I’ll eventually end up having to send to the landfill. :: READ THE FULL POST

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.
