Sustainable Design Materials

Posted April 22, 2010 by erin under Pretty Stuff

Completing a remodel or new construction project inevitably produces a need for LOTS of materials, unfortunately lots of waste as well.  I’ve compiled a few of my favorite materials that use sustainable or recycled products in honor of Earth Day today.

Recycled Glass tile from Sandhill Glass Tile.  Their tiles are made from 100% recycled glass!

Bamboo flooring from Bamboo Hardwoods.  This is a very sustainable, fast growing resource.

Recycled outdoor furniture from Ultimate Patio.  This furniture is made from recycled plastic!

Reclaimed wood flooring from Pioneer Millworks.  They find and reclaim old wood and will use it as new flooring for your home.

Cute and Comfy Pillows

Posted May 6, 2009 by deb under Pretty Stuff

Don’t you just love these pillows from jaya loves tekeko?  I can picture a couple of these placed in my son’s room and his play area too.

Each pillow is made with love {hand printed, sewn & stuffed}.  They are an eco-friendly company too.  Using organic materials {organic bamboo & cotton} and use recycled & biodegradable packaging.  Which makes me love them that much more.

And their company name is so cute.  Here is the story behind their name.
