What does your front door say about you? Your fr What does your front door say about you? Your front door is your greatest first impression.  And it gives a sneak peak into the style of the rest of your home.  So what does your front door say about your home?  Is it bold and dramatic, or comfortably neutral? Richly textured or clean and contemporary? 📸 @luxemagazine
Have you been thinking about indoor air quality la Have you been thinking about indoor air quality lately?  We've been thinking about it for what feels like forever. And we believe it to be a make or break for your ultimate health.  Typically, we spend about 90% of the time indoors, so it's important to keep our spaces fresh and clean. A routine we love to do each morning is to open up the windows and doors to let a fresh breeze in and circulate the air.   But really, if you really want to have the healthiest indoor air, a high quality air purifier is an absolute must because it helps to remove dust, pollen, viruses, bacteria, odors, pet dander, and toxic chemicals that off-gas from new furniture and materials (like paint, flooring, cabinetry, you name it.) The bedroom is a great place to have an air purifier because this is where you rest, regenerate and restore every cell in your body for about 8 hours a day.  And you’ll want to give your cells the best chance to recuperate. Trust us when we say, don’t waste your time or money buying inexpensive filters that won’t actually do a great job purifying the air.  Remember the phrase "You get what you pay for".  Just bite the bullet and buy the best out there.  This is one area where buying new (or refurbished) is always worth it. Head over to this week's blog where we give you the 3 Best Air Purifiers for your home (or office, or gym, or studio...).  Link in bio my friends.

Do you ever feel stuck on how to style your booksh Do you ever feel stuck on how to style your bookshelves? Your home tells a story of where you come from, where you’ve been and where you’re going. Rather than filling it with store bought stuff, take the opportunity to display items that reflect who you are by using items you already own.  Don’t use your shelf space to display mindless, cheap clutter imported to decor shops from overseas just because of the latest trends. Instead, create a sustainable presentation by displaying what’s important to you. Use it to showcase your memories in the form of antiques, photographs and what you’ve picked up on your travels.  Display books full of things you’re interested in and want to learn more about.  Include accessories made of renewable resources and natural materials like pottery, plants or earthy elements. In this week's blog, we break it down into 3 easy steps, where you'll learn how to design your own Sustainable Shelfie. (Link in bio.) It's a fun weekend project that will freshen up your space! Share your shelfie with me. I'd love to see what you do!

Have you heard the story about the 3-Legged Stool? Have you heard the story about the 3-Legged Stool?  Each leg is either Cheap, Fast or Made Well.  You can only have two and you sacrifice one.  Which would you pick? Over the years, we've become used to buying things cheap and getting it fast.  Like, I need it today, fast.  and like Fast Fashion - furniture, accessories and finish materials are no exception.  But sooner or later, that comes at a cost - of our health and the environment. When selecting furniture for your home, it's better to just buy the best, most durable furniture you can, given your budget.  Think of today's furniture as tomorrow's antiques.  Maybe that means you buy one great piece every year or so. When it comes to furnishing a home, buying things that are made to last, things that don't have to be replaced often, is one of the greenest game plans you can have. You know how the saying goes: Buy Once Cry Once. In this week's blog, we talk about the benefits of buying good quality furniture, where to shop and what to look for when buying sustainable & non-toxic furniture that lasts - for every budget and style.

🥬 I'm sure you've noticed how grocery prices ha 🥬 I'm sure you've noticed how grocery prices have gone up. Sometimes I'm shocked at what I pay for just 2 bags. Adding an edible garden, no matter the size, will save you moolah on your herbs and produce, will provide you with better quality food, plus give you beautiful and diverse landscaping.   If the last year or so taught us anything, it's that we can all grow our own lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and peas in any pot, in any sun-filled space, patio, front yard- even next to the sidewalk or driveway.  If you're an organic produce eater like us, you know it is the freshest, most nutritious food you will ever eat.  Plus, the time you spend gardening gets you outside, which means you're not using your home's utilities.  The big bonus for the environment is that the food you grow doesn't cause any pollution in transportation.  We also hope that someone who is going to eat their own produce may be a bit less liberal with the toxic chemicals on it. Head over to this week's blog (📍link in bio).  We have you covered with inspiration and guidance that will show you how to design a beautiful edible garden, down to the layout, materials, even what types of herbs and crops to plant.

If the past year has taught us anything, it’s ou If the past year has taught us anything, it’s our need for multi-use spaces at home where we can do it all – Work, Play, Cook, Eat, Rest, you name it.   Now more than ever, we realize that designated rooms that we use for only one reason are out of style and perhaps even impractical – that includes your Kitchen, Dining and Living Rooms. Taking advantage of unused rooms or creating multi-purpose spaces can be a challenge at first, but don’t worry!  You don’t have to let a room sit empty, or plan to add square footage to your home because you think you don’t have enough space.  Maximizing your current space, or living in a smaller home is a great way to live green.  Let’s think about it. You’re physically using less space, which means you’re using less resources (and spending less moolah!) on building materials, finishes and furniture.  All of these items produce a ton of pollution and waste during construction and transportation (and sadly, ultimately demo in a few years).  Plus you’ll use a lot less energy for cleaning, heating and cooling. Head to this week's blog (link in bio) and get inspired by these creative multi-purpose room ideas for spaces that either sit empty or have a lot of action going on. 📸 @hadleycourt
