On my last model home project, I was asked to keep "green" in mind. It was difficult due to the low budget, but I managed to find some items made of sustainable wood, recyled rubber, etc. - I even purchased used books (now, that's recycling!)! It's hard to find cost-friendly earth-friendly items, other than used furniture! So I'm pleased to share this resource with my Staging friends:
One of my favorite green decor resources is the Viva Terra catalog: www.vivaterra.com. Recycled glass, metal, and plastics go into good-looking wine glasses, sculpture and outdoor rugs. You can find inspirational pieces such as these stone cairn candleholders:
These are great...but how about boulder-sized pillows to further the theme?
The embroidered Suzani collection, of 100% organic material could also be an inspiration:
The same fabric also covers two bench sizes, one of which makes a great coffee table.
The catalog also sponsors a blog at www.ecosalon.com, which covers health, lifestyle, fashion...Enjoy!
P.S. If green is the new black, what does that say about my all-black wardrobe? ;D - Julie

Julia, thanks for sharing. I had heard of viva terra in a magazine but forgot to check them out. Will put that on my to do list.
