Anyone who has children and access to a digital camera knows that most little ones love face time in front of the lens. My daughter loves taking pictures, and she loves being behind the camera too. I’m not quite as excited about having my picture taken, but I love being surrounded by photos of my family. We have literally hundreds of print-quality photos that have never escaped the confines of the hard drive
Since I started Green Your Decor, I’ve gotten a lot of requests from people looking not just for eco-friendly curtains and drapes, for but eco-friendly rods, finials and other window hardware. But alas, they are not easy to come by, at least not online. There’s always the option of buying from your local thrift or consignment store, or rummaging through a family member’s unused hardware. But if you’re looking for something a bit more definite, you will appreciate this Recycled Glass Decorative Rod Set from JC Penney.
In order to make Green Your Decor a great green destination (and hopefully your favorite on the web 
), I’d love to learn about you and your likes and dislikes. Green Your Decor is growing every day, and I want to continue to give you awesome, original content and present you with sponsors who are relevant to your needs. This brief survey should only take you a few minutes, and in return, you will be entered to win a Get Clean® Healthy Home Pack from Shaklee.

When you’re a pregnant, especially with your first baby, all the additional expenses to build a nursery can be daunting, particularly when trying to make it non-toxic and eco-friendly. There’s new furniture to buy, layette items to be found, and you have to decide whether to go with traditional dispoable diapers (bad for the Earth) or opt for reusable cloth diapers. Well thanks to the wonderful Jackie over at Tiny Decor, I discovered a deal today that will make your green nursery-building a whole lot easier.

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?

When I was working on reader Dan’s eco-friendly bonus room, I remembered how much I loved doing the Green Rooms in a Box series.

But I’m stumped for what room I should do next. :: READ THE FULL POST
