Lovely, right?
Well, the good news is that it got that way mostly due to laziness. So it really was nothing a little elbow grease couldn’t fix.

Yeah…so you may have noticed that Green Your Decor hasn’t exactly been active lately. I have no excuse. Life just happened. On any given day, I’m working on half a dozen different things, and it doesn’t leave as much time for blogging as I would like. I wish I were writing this to say that I’ll be going back to a daily posting schedule. But the truth is, after about 2 years of infrequent posting, I’ve admitted to myself that’s not going to happen. :: READ THE FULL POST

Or at least some of it. :: READ THE FULL POST

A Michelle Kaufmann-designed Breezehouse, by Blu Homes. Do I really need to explain this one? OK. Simply put, it’s green, and it’s freaking gorgeous! Oh yeah. And it’s a house. That we would own. Sure beats an apartment…

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.
