I'll get my mind out of the gutter and onto the green, where it belongs, and tell you about my latest obsession - plants in pockets. I'd heard of hanging plants and plants that are potted, but the idea of putting a plant in a cloth-like pocket wasn't in my repertoire. That is, until I … Continue reading Is That a Woolly Pocket on Your Wall, or Are You Just…?
It seems logical to me - coconuts and good design. I've heard of stranger things, so when I heard that Bahia coconut shells were being used to produce an interior design surface material, I didn't even flinch. In fact, I thought it's about time. Okay, not exactly, but it is innovative and ultra exotic. EKOBE … Continue reading Covered by Coconut
The oh-so-sophisticated you might say "vaaaaaz", but however you pronounce it, a vase is really just a vase. Not so with the ada hanging vase from cb2. It says "I'm not your ordinary vase, I'm so much more than a vase because I hang here growing out of the wall looking like something other than … Continue reading Hanging with Ada
I didn't think it was possible but wallpaper has become huge, as in popular, hip, happenin' - most likely due to its turning a lovely shade of green (as in eco, eco, eco). It also doesn't hurt that a few of the ultra cool graphic designers du jour have lent their creative juices to the … Continue reading Geoff McFetridge: Coming to a Wall Near You

My Digital Prints is in … Continue reading Let Your Eco-Wall Mural Take You Anywhere You Want to Go
I came down with some sort of bug this past weekend. I think it's called the "look around your home and feel the urge to change everything" bug. For some reason my eyes focused in on the items I hadn't seen in a long time, and I realized most of them I no longer even … Continue reading Cure Your Bare Wall Blues with Something Green
There's no other way to say it - this is the coolest, most forward-thinking product I've seen in quite some time. Sounds dramatic, yes, but it's true. Try and wrap your head around this - illuminated wallpaper. Not glow in the dark or back-lit, but wall covering that emits light - it's a part of … Continue reading Lamp Alternative: Illuminated Wallpaper by Jonas Samson
The more I discover green innovations, the less cynical I can claim to be about the future of our planet. I'm losing my edge, people. Actually, it's a relief. Every day I learn of another green product or program or initiative or group of people devoted to the green cause. For example, Woodsy Bond Wallcoverings … Continue reading Make a Statement with Woodsy Bond
As recently as 10 years ago, if you said the word "wallpaper" I had visions of orange shag carpeting and my mother on a stepladder with a plastic bucket of gloppy paste. That toxic and tres passe technique would never be found on the walls of my home. But today that same technique has become … Continue reading Not Your Mama’s Wallpaper
