This responsibly manufactured feather stuffed Montauk Sofa just invites you to sink into it, and the company plants trees every year to offset its carbon emissions during production.
I couldn't find a vintage mirror exactly like the one above. Here are two equally stylish options: an antique, such as this large Louis XVI from Antiquaire Online; or, as I have done myself, visit salvage shops and purchase a large, old window, then have it fitted with mirrored glass.
This pedestal table is from Ikea. Find out why shopping at Ikea is a good eco option here: The Ikea Way
These bookcase options are not exactly like the one above, however they all have eco benefits. To find a white, reclaimed one, you may just have to search in your area, or do a shabby chic makeover on one you already have. The ones here are from Knack Studios, Ikea and Antiquaire Online
An example of a reclaimed chest to use as a coffee table. Wood would look just as good as the white one above.
p.s. Don't forget - if you'd like this treatment applied to your own home, or, if you just don't know what you want to do with your space, send me a photo! (Just click on the 'contact me' link and attach the photos.) I'll make some recommendations and post it on this blog. Everyone needs a little green!
Sometimes I like the clean simple look of a monochromatic room like this one ....... it kinda cleanses the palette ..... thanks so much for including some "knackage"!!
ReplyDeleteNo problem - you make it easy by having such great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love all your suggestions....I've been doing this kind of thing for years, but I never really thought about it as "going green". Of course that concept didn't exist back then. All I was trying to do was save money, be creative, and use stuff that was in the family and not wanted or needed anymore! It's fun for me to see a new twist on old ideas. I wish my mom could see your blog. She would have loved it.....she was the original "creative homemaker"!!!
