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.

If you’re wondering about the erratic posting schedule here at Green Your Decor since last week, there is an explanation. My family and I are moving into our own place after 2 long years, and I am buzzing with excitement! It’s an apartment and not a house, but I’m still incredibly giddy about the prospect of having a 6 new rooms to decorate. Of them, I think I’m most looking forward to doing my daughter’s room, because I know I can have fun with it. I’ve been looking for some wall art that I think suits her personality and taste, and these fabric wall stickers by Mae jumped out at me as soon as I saw them.

Have you ever come across a product concept and felt like the company came up with it just for you? That’s how I feel about Inhabit’s new Modern Classics Collection. I am seriously ready to pull out my debit card right now, but I wouldn’t know which to buy first! The collection includes pillows, wall art and hanging fabric panels, all featuring striking, colorful silhouettes of some of the most famous and iconic pieces of furniture on the planet: Eames, Bertoia and Barcelona chairs, among others.

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?
