Report AbuseGoing Green seems to be everyone's call tag these days. So many major companies have joined the bandwagon and are spending millions of dollars on advertising how environmentally friendly they are. I love that there is a serious "Green" movement happening in America. Its about 20 years overdue, unfortunatley, but its so encouraging that folks are sitting up and taking notice.
Everyone can participate in the green movement in a small way or a big way.
As an interior designer, I can now offer my clients everything from furniture, to fabrics, to paint, to flooring, lighting, cleaning products, well...the list goes on and on. There is no longer an excuse to not do your part for the environment.
Report AbuseI WORK IN RETAIL, THE CO. IS CONFESSING TO GOING GREEN, BUT THE PACKAGING IS NOT GOING GREEN , THE STYOFORM THAT WE THROW OUT AND THE PLASTIC WRAP IS SO SAD , NOT TO MENTION CARDBOARD. WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS .
Report AbuseI agree with the other interior designer, but I have found that green does come with a price! The fabrics at the Design Building have gone up considerably in price especially the eco friendly lines, even the furniture at ABC which is organic is very expensive, I am glad that Pottery Barn is giving the public something affordable that is good for the environment. I am glad that I still have some clients that feel that the extra expense is worth is in the long run, I hope the same thought catches on to others. Also remember, antiques are a recycled good, so please purchase them and save a tree! T&C Interiors

"I believe in unabashed confidence, the self-assurance to just go with it and be prepared to make mistakes. This house is a melting pot of who I am, my eclectic madcap sense. I want people to walk in and think, 'This is a fun place that's not taking itself too seriously.' Sometimes I get it right, sometimes not—that's the joy of playing with clothes and interiors. When my style is too disciplined, that's when I get it wrong.” —designer Matthew Williamson, Domino magazine
