It seems like a lot of the eco-friendly rooms I receive or come across are nurseries, and that’s no surprise. It stands to reason that if you were going to make any room in your home greener, it would be the one where your precious babies will be living and sleeping. And this particular nursery is a special one. Marsh & Clark Design transformed this third-floor attic bedroom into a soothing, sustainable nursery for the 2010 San Francisco Decorator Showcase. And to make it extra special, the room is designed for not one, but THREE precious little ones.

This room has been about two months in the making, starting with a Green Room in a Box planning the space, but it’s finally done! Before I show you the completed room, here’s Miss Ja’Naya, enjoying her new reading corner:
As Niecy from Clean House would say, can you stand to see more? Be warned…there are a LOT of photos…
The view from the doorway
The other side of the room
Facing the doorway and closet
We definitely wanted to personalize a bit

It makes my day when readers thank me for helping them make their homes greener through this site. I feel like I’m doing my job of making green decorating accessible to any and everyone. It makes me even happier when I get to see photos of their fully-decorated spaces. Kelli Taylor of Purple Tree Photography, is one such reader, and I hope you’re as stoked about her gorgeous nursery as I am. In her words:
I just finished my baby nursery that I wanted to submit. I found the eco-friendly crib and changing table thanks to you!! Other green items in the room include: paint, crib mattress, FLOR rug, changing table pad, redone rocking chair, sheets & changing table sheet.

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.

Today’s room comes from one of my all-time favorite interior designers, Kelly LaPlante of Organic Interior Design. As the name of her firm implies, Kelly is a designer who focuses very specifically on green design, employing a combination of reuse with vintage and new, sustainably-made furnishings. I LOVE her style, and if I could have my way, I’d have her come take a look around my apartment and give me some pointers.
Here’s a room Kelly redesigned for a client who wanted to lighten and warm-up her old guest house/studio with cottage charm. Below the photos, you’ll find info about what makes the room green.

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.
