Many families traditionally give pajamas for Christmas. This had not been true for our family until recent years. The problem is that most kids’ pajamas are made with toxic chemical flame retardants, because most of them are made of polyester. Finding 100% cotton PJs is a challenge, and finding 100% organic cotton PJs is even harder. So when I discovered New Jammies and their stylish, kid-friendly designs, I was thrilled. Plus, they made a great addition to the Green Gift Guide.
You knew they were coming! This year, I have a slew of awesome green gift giveaways for your pleasure, starting with an awesome, handmade iPad case from Zaum.
I love Mod Green Pod fabrics — almost as much as I love my iPad. So when I discovered these beautiful pieces made from Mod Green Pod’s stylish prints and other sustainable materials, I didn’t hesitate to add them to this year’s Green Gift Guide. These fabulous, high quality pieces are handmade by Zaum. In their eco-friendly section, you’ll also find clutches, full-size handbags and totes, coin purses, laptop bags, and iPhone cases — all made of materials like organic cotton and wool felt.
I love blue. Really. It is officially my favorite among all the wall colors we’ve ever used. In turn, our finished dining room is my new favorite room. That could be because we haven’t really finished any other spaces in this apartment, but I think it’s because it really just turned out great. And I have FLOR to thank for the inspiration.
The moment I saw their Sophistikat rug last year, I knew I had to have it — eventually, anyway. And I kept finding inspiration elsewhere in similar shades of blue: the gorgeous blue Ikat dinnerware from Viva Terra and sweet cloth napkins from West Elm. Slowly, in my mind, a dining room came together.
Whenever I need a new rug for a room, FLOR is one of the first places I look — and with good reason. I can always trust that their products are eco-friendly in a variety of ways, and that there will always be new designs for me to peruse. This summer is no exception. I am loving the bold, graphic new designs from FLOR’s summer collection.
My personal favorite is the beautiful Lasting Grateness. It is the kind of rug that can either make a room, or work well with the statement pieces you already own. The black and white color palette leaves endless room for bold accent colors, and it’s really hard to “mess up” black and white.
A longtime fan of FLOR, I am always excited when they debut new designs. Their Spring 2011 products do not disappoint.
This is my favorite of the new designs. Each carpet square combines two very different textures, and each set contains two FLOR squares. One square features an area of soft shag in the center, which is bordered by a frame of smooth felt. The other carpet square is the reverse, with felt in the center, framed by shag. The result is a beautiful, textured effect that must be heavenly under your feet. And even better, it is available in 8 different color combinations.

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.
I get this question a lot, so I wanted to make the answer easy to find. Yes, I am a graphic designer, and I designed this site myself. The theme I’m using is called Thesis, and I think it’s the best WordPress theme out there. Your site can look pretty much any way you want it to. Want to know more?
