Green Decorating: Colorful Eco-Friendly Modern Living Room
I had so much fun putting this eco-friendly living room together this week. When I was thinking about ideas for color scheme I found this beautiful eco-friendly rug with gorgeous colors and decided to build this weeks green decorating room around the rug. The combination of chocolate, sage green, pale yellow and the bold pinkish-orange color look amazing together. I brought in some reclaimed wood, wool and bamboo fabrics and fair trade handmade items.

I think my favorite is #3 – the wall art. It is too bad that more people do not try and find alternative uses for materials that have finished their initial purpose.
This is a beautiful example of reuse. Thanks for sharing.
I always wonder what the story is behind an item too. Did the artist get started to make a statement about environmental reuse or were they on a shoe-string budget and found that reclaiming materials was the most affordable way to find a canvas to design on. Either way – I am glad that artist did. Very cool.
