I’m finally getting back into the swing of doing Green Rooms in a Box, with a new twist: I will select one item that inspires the look of whole room. It could be a painting, a vase, a blanket, or whatever. This first one is inspired by Viva Terra’s Butaca Chair, an eco-friendly take on the classic Barcelona chair. I love the lines and even the rustic coffee sack upholstery. For this room, I let the upholstery guide me — and this is where I wound up.

I’ve been having a blast decking out Ja’Naya’s new room with the help of some wonderful in-kind sponsors. It’s killing me that I can’t reveal the whole room just yet, but I’m waiting for a couple of key components that will really complete the look, so you’ll have to wait just a little bit longer.
In the meantime, though, I decided to give you a sneak peek of the room. The image shown above is just a sneak peek of the sneak peek

Today’s Green Room in a Box is part of a special project that is really near and dear to me. My family has been through a lot in the last several months since my daughter’s diagnosis, but none of us have been through more than Ja’Naya herself. She is doing really well with her treatment and handling it like a trooper, but my husband and I wanted to do something special for her to help ease the transition. Next week, my family is moving to be closer to her doctors, and we decided to completely redecorate her room (in eco-friendly fashion, of course) so she’ll have a special place to play and relax, especially after long days at the clinic.

Mid-Mod Bedroom: It’s been a long while since I’ve done a Green Room in a Box, but there’s no time like the present to get started again, right? Today’s room is sponsored by one of my all-time favorite companies for eco-friendly home decor, Amenity. The design is a heavy mix of old and new that meets somewhere in the middle for an eclectic, but sophisticated look.

I mentioned a couple of times that my husband and I are finally getting ready to move into our own place. After 2 years of living with family, it is a welcome change. This impending move has made me rack my brain trying to remember what furnishings we have in storage and what we need to make our new space complete. One detail I can’t possibly forget? We have a huge red sectional and blonde wood entertainment center that we bought when we didn’t know better. It wouldn’t be very green of me to get rid of them just because I don’t like the colors, so here’s my plan to make our new living room work around it. What do you think? Does it work?

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?
