As Americans become more eco minded we will continue to look for products and materials that are friendly to ourselves and the environment. While we have moved away from lead based paints, oil, and improve latex, interior paints have now evolved to low and non-VOC, it's a work in progress. Most fabric vendors for the home have incorporated environmentally friendly lines that include organic cottons and less chemically treated fabrics. Looking for ways to incorporate eco products into decor is becoming easier and more stylish. I'm always excited to find new ways to use recycled items. I hope you get busy incorporating some of these ideas into your space and thinking of new ones. Please don't hesitate to share your green ideas and products with me.
