Karen Young of Hammocks & High Tea and I are what I like to think of as kindred spirits. We’re both from the Caribbean, we both love interior decorating and we both have a passion for all things green. And did I mention that she has a gorgeous eye for design? I featured pillows from Hammocks & High Tea last year, but Karen recently released her new collection, and it has left me drooling.
When it comes to stylish, eco-friendly home textiles, the first company that always comes to mind for me is Amenity. I can always rely on them to deliver flawless, nature-inspired style, and I never have to question their commitment to the environment. So when I learned that they are gearing up to debut their new fall collection, I couldn’t wait to share that news. I don’t have photos yet, but I am willing to bet it’s going to be fabulous!
I am not ashamed to admit that I subscribe to about a zillion furniture and homewares retailers’ newsletters. Most days, they are devoid of anything I’d want to feature, but this week’s email from Room & Board turned up a few gems. Their new pillow collection appears to include organic fabrics from Mod Green Pod. Room & Board doesn’t specifically identify the fabrics as being organic (just cotton), but I immediately recognized MGP’s Bloom, Atticus and Glimmer fabrics!
It is amazing to me than nearly a year after I started looking, I still haven’t settled on pillows for the living room. But I guess sometimes it’s the smallest choices that hold us up the longest. Still, I have a great time looking for prints and patterns I can pair together without clashing, and these new organic pillows from Ferm Living would be beautiful paired with solid or prints with similar colors.
Beside that, they’re just pretty!
Ferm Living also has a variety of pillows made of silk, felt and a linen/cotton blend.
When it comes to my favorite bloggers, I will readily admit that my list is long. Even after I purged my Google Reader account a few weeks back and resubscribed only to the blogs that I read regularly, I still wound up with a TON of subscriptions. But there are few bloggers’ musings I look forward to more than Jeanine Hays of the AphroChic blog. So when I found out a few months back that she had created a line of pillows, I couldn’t wait to see what they’d look like. To put it mildly, I was floored! The AphroChic line is easily one of my favorite collections of pillows ever!

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?
