A few months ago, I featured a clock made by an ingenious Etsy seller c2design of recycled magazine pages and a CD. I fell in love with that clock, and I love it still, but it is just too small for the place where I want to put it. So when I stumbled on this beauty at Organize.com, I felt like I had struck gold.

Most days, I am reasonably content with my financial status. We have a roof over our head, food to eat and all the amenities of modern life. But there are moments, few though they may be, when I wish I had an unlimited amount of disposable income. Because if I did, I wouldn’t even blink before buying this beautiful mirror from SO Green Store. I have been on the hunt for a vintage sunburst clock or mirror to hang over the TV in the living room, opposite a trio of black and white photos in black, museum-style frames. This mirror would be the like the cherry on the pie. The room would be complete without it, but would just enhance the space so much more!

Over the past few weeks, I have been obsessing about what to put on the wall behind our sectional. Given the huge size of the sofa, we can’t go with something too small or it will be dwarfed in comparison. I don’t know if this reclaimed wood medallion/votive candleholder from Pottery Barn is it, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. And given the sale price of just $70, I’m going to have to pull out the tape measure and my visualization skills in order.

When I do small craft and design projects for my own home, I often wind up with small scraps of fabric, paper and other materials that I wind up throwing away or recycling despite my best intentions to find a use for them. Can you imagine how huge that pile of stuff would be if I were a practicing interior designer doing projects regularly?

When my husband and I started unpacking moving boxes, I realized just how much I hate bare walls. Before this apartment, we had never painted a space we were renting. Instead, we used lots of wall art, from African masks to paintings and shadow boxes, to stave off the feeling of bare, sterile walls. Which means we have a lot to choose from when decking out the walls at our new digs. But some of it just isn’t us anymore. We have a Goodwill pile and a yard sale pile, and we’re looking to eventually replace some of it with higher-quality investment pieces now that we’ve honed our taste. These pieces from Ross Menuez Balsa caught my eye, and I’m loving the colorful nature and ethereal quality of his 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?
