When you’re a home decor fanatic like I am, you learn to recognize luxury when you see it. Sometimes, you don’t have to feel a product in your own hands to know that it will be soft, supple and indulgent. Yumi & Laurie’s blanQuettes™ fall into that category. I featured the St. Moritz blanQuette™ a few months ago, and I’ve been coveting one ever since.
The lovely ladies at Yumi & Laurie are offering up a gorgeous Laguna blanQuette™ worth $195 to one lucky reader of Green Your Decor. The Laguna is shown above, and the winner will get to select the color. This is nothing to sneeze at. These throws are gorgeous, to say the least.

My daughter loves stuffed animals. Seriously, she has in excess of 20 plush friends of all species — dogs, cats, rabbits, bears, dinosaurs, and even a beluga whale. That last one was a memento from a trip to the Georgia Aquarium a few years back when she became fascinated by the giant, gentle creatures.
She’s free to keep all the plushies she already has, but now that I’m much more enlightened about the chemicals in the plush fabric and fill used to make said animals, I won’t be buying another traditional one.

A little while back, I found a great, simple tutorial on making fabric wall art. Ever the aspiring crafter (who has yet to actually make anything), I’ve been keeping my eye out for a great piece of fabric that I won’t mind having on the walls for a while. While I’m at it, I may go hunting for a thrift-store chair to reupholster in the same fabric or recover a couple of throw pillows, so it has to be something I really like — and it has to be sustainable. :: READ THE FULL POST

As much as I love my digital camera, its a sa fact that most of the photos I have taken over the last few years are destined to spend an eternity locked inside my computer or on flash drive somewhere. But wouldn’t be very green of me to print hundreds of photos I’ll probably never put in an album, and though I like the idea of a digital frame, something about it is a bit too cold and impersonal for my taste. I’d much rather print out a select few beautiful shots, then put them in an equally beautiful frame for all to admire. :: READ THE FULL POST
