#9 – Go Green!

There has been much talk over the last several years on how to go green. Whether you buy into global warming or not, either way recycling items is good for all. A whole new sector of business are starting up to make green products. Because of all this new competition products are getting better, less expensive, and actually have good design. As technology gets better you will see an even greater line of products, from recycled rugs made from old plastic water bottles to desk and chairs made from old cardboard boxes.

Vintage chairs with an updated fabric, a 1960’s table sparkles, Garage sale lamps painted gold all add to the beauty of this room.

The forgotten trend of going green is easier to accomplish. The trend is to shop at flea markets and vintage stores where items from the past can easily get a makeover with a non-toxic eco-friendly paint or stain (try staining something with tea from ordinary tea bags or coffee). The resurgence of this style is prompted by people selling older treasures because they need the money. In exchange you can find great pieces at below market prices. (Check out eBay and craigslist).

In a Dallas home Greg is working on, chairs found out of a hotel clearance sale were reupholstered. Also, auction finds of Jansen tables and x-benches complete the room.
