Date: February 19, 2010 | Category: Pets, The Home
New places, new people, strange additions to the familiar (like a new baby in the family, or moving houses) – we all get a little anxious from life’s constant flux, it’s no surprise that Fido and Fluffy would too. While you may find your outlet in a certain bottled form, it’s unfortunately not been recommended to serve up a cold one to your pet. Instead, offer up a little soothing aromatherapy, specifically designed for your furry friend from Hailey’s Dragonfly Garden. (more…)

You Wood If You Could, Now You Can!
Date: February 12, 2010 | Category: Featured, Green Building, The Home
LivingHomes’ modern, sustainable, pre-fab designs have long been an ecofab fav – the winning combo of world-class architects, eco-friendly building materials, and incredible energy-efficiency have earned the company a host of awards and certifications, not to mention a bright gold star in our book. And while the homes have always been a great value for the price, we’re elated to announce that all LivingHomes prefabs designed by legendary architect Ray Kappe, FAIA, are now available in wood-framing for a substantial reduction in cost.

No Place Like Home Sweet

There’s a certain transition point when a house becomes a home. The sense of welcome and familiarity, a true expression of the creative souls that live inside and small touches of the family’s personality and character. But how do you get that sense of warmth without cleaning your wallet out cold? A recent discovery of Home Sweet block printed fabric and home goods has shown that all you need is a little hand-made, sustainable love. (more…)

For most of us, popcorn is an iconic treat, reminding us of movie theaters and greasy, salt-soaked fingers. With all the fun of childhood, 479 Popcorn is an organic treat for the whole family, but make no mistake – this isn’t the regular butter-and-salt basic you grew up on. These tasty little kernels have risen (or popped, if you will) to a whole new level. (more…)
One Man’s Trash…
Date: February 2, 2010 | Category: Home Furnishings, The Home
Reusing old items (like furniture) tops the eco-list of planet conscious peeps everywhere, no question. But as much as we’d love to add a little pre-loved flavor to our home, the challenge often lies in picturing that discarded dresser or crumbling credenza living in your place when it’s just so… trashed. After a trip to Brooklyn based home décor company, Nightwood, it makes the visioning process a breeze: they gather, recover, and repurpose unwanted pieces and offer beautiful, one-of-a-kind goods.

Nesting Au Natural
Date: January 26, 2010 | Category: Home Furnishings, The Home
Home design is a passion of ours, but how we cringe when we consider that deforestation may have contributed to the wood furniture peddled by mass retailers. Lucky for us, and for you, nesting au natural does not mean having to throw your ethics or aesthetics out the window. We’ve already written about the vanguards behind environment, whose Los Angeles outpost is a regular ecofab stop when we’re in the City of Angels. In nearby Santa Monica, another green-friendly showroom is proving that design can, and should, have a conscience. (more…)
