Somehow I almost missed the fact that several large retailers including Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn are now offering Eco-Friendly choices. In fact, I was shocked to see just how much is out there. Here are a few items that I found.
At Pottery Barn, their are a ton of beautiful organic towels in brilliant colors, seemingly endless bedding options in organic fabrics in solids and beautiful patterns. They also have a gorgeous Pieced Pine Oval mirror, soy candles and furniture. Check out www.potterybarn.com to see more. I simply searched using “eco-friendly” to see their offerings.
At Crate & Barrel they have a few new furniture options that are made of bamboo and constructed using traditional Chinese joinery techniques which use no nails or glue. Check out the Del Re Bed, the Bento Four Drawer Chest, and the Archer Bed (this bed is STUNNING!). Find them online as well at www.crateandbarrel.com.
Next, I found an organic mattress. I had no idea such a thing existed!! Naturpedic makes an “ultra organic” mattress which is waterproof and filled with an organic cotton filling. This filling is unbleached, undyed, and grown without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. Check them out at www.naturepedic.com
Lastly, Alsons has created a water amplifying shower head that makes you feel like you are taking a normal shower but using 20% -40% less water. Love that!! The shower head comes in adjustable and non-adjustable models. Available at www.alsons.com
There are a ton of other green decorating products out there and we are going to be bringing you more of these going forward!
