4 Green Things I’d Buy Right Now If I Could

by jennae on October 26, 2011


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…


EKLA Home Kristina sectional sofa: In the gray fabric shown, NOT bright green, of course. It is made of natural rubber, 100% organic U.S.-grown and -milled wool dyed with fiber reactive low-impact, non-toxic dye, 100% organic cotton barrier cloth, FSC-certified alder frame and legs, recycled steel springs and Safecoat no VOC stain. About as green as it gets.

What’s Going On Around Here?

by jennae on September 14, 2011

I hate to state the completely obvious, but you may have noticed that things have been slow down around for the past — ummm — year or so. I promise that I’m not giving up on blogging. It’s just that after blogging about green decorating for so long, in the way that I’ve been blogging, I’ve sort of run out of new products to talk about. OK…that’s not quite true. There are still products to blog about, but not enough to warrant the kind of frequency with which I posted in the first few years of Green Your Decor.

In our previous apartment, we had all these grandiose plans about making our patio space beautiful. We planned to add planting boxes, gorgeous furniture and solar lighting. Alas, none of that ever came to pass. We never even bought chairs, and as a result, we rarely spend any time on the patio.  Now that we’re in a third floor apartment with fewer bugs and more breeze, we were determined not to let the same thing happen twice.

West Elm never ceases to make my day when they release new organic bedding designs. I admit, I stalk their site for months waiting for new designs to arrive, and I’m like a kid in a candy store when they finally do. With good reason, too. My obsession with chevron patterns is still in full swing, and I can’t get enough of the new Organic Chevron Duvet Cover and shams shown above. And how freaking gorgeous is it when paired with that moody cobalt blue wall? I think I’m in love.
