Eco Furniture



"Going green," despite my initial fear of everything being made of hemp, is actually a lasting trend. There are a lot of "green" or "eco" products out there. A lot of it is cliche--made of driftwood or pebbles; but there is some that it pretty attractive (see below). It adds a natural look to your decor and makes you feel like you're doing something good for the environment! How could you go wrong?

Above is a Pottery Barn duvet and sheet set, organic.


mini concrete planters from www.vivaterra.com


Ship wood bench from Viva Terra. Recycled products!



Woven basket from Gumps. www.gumps.com


Cork bath mat from www.gaiam.com.  My roomate and I have been faux fighting over a new cork or teak bath mat for months. Perhaps this one will be "the one!" I just discovered Gaiam today and it's a really great source for eco products and yoga accessories!

Ha-dong Patchwork quilt from Gaiam


Linen Shower Curtain, gaiam.com



Also from Gaiam, I really like the sheets but could do without that pattern as a quilt.
