A few months back, my family and I toured the Greenhaven eco-friendly show home in Marietta, GA, right outside Alanta. To say that the home was gorgeous would be an understatement, so when Atlanta interior designer Laurie White contacted me with photos of the media room she designed at Greenhaven, I was more than happy [...]

Friday Room Reveal: Vintage Glam Media Room by Laurie White

There are very few things made of vinyl that would ever knowingly make it into my home. I would, however, make an exception for some classic records, if I could ever get my hands on a record player. I can still remember growing up listening to Whitney Houston and the Jackson 5 on vinyl, and [...]

Music To My Eyes: Reclaimed Record Mirror

I have never been afraid of color, but I’m also not a fan of painting, then repainting. For that reason, I tend to stick to neutral — or at least versatile — colors on the walls and the largest pieces of furniture in the room, preferring instead to add pops of color with accessories. You’d [...]

Great Green Gift: Soho Recycled Vases from Bambeco

Back when I first started Green Your Decor, there weren’t very many websites dedicated to selling eco-friendly home furnishings. They existed, but tended to be hard to find or feature only a limited number of items. At the time, green retailer Green Culture was the exception to the rule. There’s a reason I included the [...]

Green Culture is a One-Stop Shop for Your Eco-Conscious Home

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 [...]

Green Steal of the Week: Reclaimed Wood Medallion

I normally don’t publish a post on Sundays, but I figured I could break tradition for America Recycles Day, the only nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging Americans to recycle and to buy recycled products. This may seem like a no-brainer topic for a green blog, but you wouldn’t believe how much recyclable material still [...]

America Recycles Day: Prettify Your Home with Recycled Materials

Today’s room comes from one of my all-time favorite interior designers, Kelly LaPlante of Organic Interior Design. As the name of her firm implies, Kelly is a designer who focuses very specifically on green design, employing a combination of reuse with vintage and new, sustainably-made furnishings. I LOVE her style, and if I could [...]

Friday Room Reveal: Kelly LaPlante’s Guest House Redesign

I puzzle myself sometimes. Now that I finally have free reign to decorate our home as I please, I’m waffling on every detail, changing my mind (along with fabric choices and colors) at the last minute. It’s driving my husband crazy, but he’s being a sweetheart about it. There is at least one decision on [...]

Mixed Media, Literally: Recycled Sunburst Clock

My daughter is four years old, so she’s at the age when she’s learning how to read and tell time. Thanks to the poster hanging in her room from MadeByGirl, “love” was the first word she learned how to spell. Because of this, I realized that I have the opportunity to use her room decor [...]

Learning in Style: Kids’ Decor can be Beautiful & Educational Too

I know it’s been a while since I have done a Drab or Fab post, but I have to get your opinion on this one. Generally, all you have to do is think the word “floral” to make me run screaming in the opposite direction. I’m not a floral kind of girl. Unless of course that [...]

Drab or Fab? Organic Cotton Dots & Roses Bedding

I understand that living in an apartment means that any major changes we make to our living space will probably have to be changed back before we move out. For example, we know that we have a 5-gallon bucket of Kilz primer in our future to cover up all the painting we did. But as [...]

Make a Natural Statement: Woven Pendant from West Elm

I’ve realized something. Looking at individual furnishings is great, but it tends to be more inspirational to see these items in a room that is fully put together. That, and I just love drooling over photos of beautifully decorated rooms All of this is to introduce a new feature here at Green Your [...]

Friday Room Reveal: Kerri’s Eco-Fab Nursery

Finding stylish organic fabric is becoming easier these days with the proliferation of companies like Mod Green Pod and others who all make beautiful prints that would make any home beautiful. Finding organic solids, however, is a slightly tougher task, particularly if you want any color other than “natural.” The ladies of Mod Green Pod [...]

Mod Green Pod Now Carries Solid Organic Fabrics

I’ve been running into great deals on green nursery furnishings left and right. Maybe it’s a sign that my baby fever is turning into self-fulfilling prophecy. As much as I like that idea, right now it’s probably best that I stick to dreaming. Still, the great deals on this eco-friendly crib and high chair don’t [...]

Green Steal of the Week: Argington Nursery & Kids Furniture

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 [...]
