I enjoy the occasional sci fi movie just as much as the next guy, but you won’t see me at any Star Trek conventions any time soon. Still, I couldn’t help but be enamored with this flying saucer bowl set by Museum of Robots. It’s geeky, but not in the pocket protector and bi-focal wearing sort of way. More in a really quirky, modern, “where did you get that?!” sort of way.

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.

Anyone who knows me knows that I like eye candy. I love being surrounded by beautiful things. When it comes to the home, many of those beautiful things are purely decorative. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but one of the challenges I have placed on myself is to find decorative objects that are either meaningful to me in some way (think family photos or artwork) or that serve a purpose. This Puzzle Pieces serving board, found via my friends over at Young House Love, is the latter. It is a cutting board and a serving piece in one.

If you have a bar counter in your kitchen, you know that they are a great place to add extra seating in the form of barstools. We currently have two old black ones that were basically the cheapest we could find at the time. Sure, they’re still in decent condition, if you don’t mind a wobble or two when you’re sitting down and getting back up. My problem is that my daughter thinks they are a ride at an amusement park, and she gets a kick out of spinning the stools, even when they are empty. So when we move into our own place, we’ll probably put our current stools in the yard sale pile and upgrade to something more stylish with no spinning parts.

There are a lot of habits my family has developed that I’m trying to get us to change. Among them is our tendency to eat our meals everywhere but the dining table. This means in the living room, our bedrooms, and more recently, outside on the patio. Add a 3-year-old to the mix, and that means we have a lot of spills and crumbs to clean up after each meal. Since I’m not especially fond of the eat-in kitchen (neither are my daughter and husband), it’s unlikely we’ll start eating there any time soon. So I figured we probably need to acquire some accessories that will make our informal mealtimes a little easier to manage. These Soleil Serving Trays from Bambeco are exactly what I had in mind.

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?
