Spotlight on Eco-friendly

I happened across a fabulous site today that offers nothing but eco-friendly home alternatives. From salvaged wood furniture to soft carpets made of reused sweaters, Viva Terra offers some trully stunning examples of how one can be stylish and eco-centric. Just read some of the descriptions for their products and you’ll be awed with just how innovative some of the things they make are. Some of my favorites include:


These spectacular Recycled Metal Branch Candle holders.


These Salvaged Wood Nesting tables.


This Edison kitchen table made from actual floor planks from a recently demolished factory owned by Thomas Edison


And this beautiful recycled Railroad tie dining set.

Day by day, living green has become easier and more stylish! Don’t forget to check out their non-wood furniture as well!

I’m in love. New apartment, new city, new spin on a sleeper sofa! No more slouchy leather upholstery, no more difficult to pull out mattress. Nothing but well designed beauty by the Domus Design Collection. I am specifically referring to my soon-to-be newest addition, their Cosma sleep sofa. Gorgeous, non?
