The concept of eco-interiors was talked about at great length by Jeanie Pyun, editor of Sprig along with famous eco-interior designer Kelly LaPlante on Discussion on WashingtonPost.com. The strongest point of the show was the little tips that were offered to help you green your style. And that was not all as the hosts gave guidelines on finding healthy food and products. Even FAQs like “What is a green roof” and “What does VOC mean” were answered by them. Since the discussion was hosted online, the two eco-friendly women could post web-links directly to the chat to give readers easy, direct access to the tips being discussed. Other areas of concern were, “why it is still so difficult to find healthy products and why are they not cheaper?” as well as “what is a single mom hoping to green on a limited budget?”
Now isn’t Washingtonpost.com really cool as the discussions there are like an interactive blog, where readers can ask questions in real-time to experts on a variety of subjects. For those of you who did not know, Pyun was the former editor of Organic Style magazine and co-editor of In Style Home magazine. LaPlante owns a furniture showroom in Venice Beach, CA, is the host of Brilliant Green on Ovation TV, and recently published her first book Ecologique.
C’mon let’s go green because the experts say so.

Gone are the days when keeping antique wood furniture was considered fashionable. Though, chairs and tables carved out of wood are considered classic but for environmental reasons it would be amoral to cut endangered forests for a mere table’s sake!
Nevertheless, you can still decorate your house with classic-looking furniture by Amy Hunting-this one recycled from wood waste and off-cuts. This way you can also become a part of the eco-savvy groups and still enjoy the wooden beauty without harming the nature any further.
Amy has a collection consisting of a chair, a book box and a series of 12 lamps (these lamps can be stacked one on top of the other). All of these are made by wooden patchwork sans screws & bolts. The book box has built in book stands thus making room for different sized books which can be placed randomly inside it. The box holds the books like a mother caresses her baby so you don’t have to worry about books falling out of place!
