This wooden utensil holder, inspired by the Duomo di Siena, is a great way to reuse those Legos you have laying around. We think that these kitchen ideas are so much fun that we'll probably dust off our box of Legos in the attic and try to come up with our own designs...

We know it can difficult to find a CFL that's right for you. They can flicker, they can't be bright enough... we've heard (and experienced!) all the stories. So, when we found this roundup of the best CFLs we got really excited. Check out the list, after the jump!

We absolutely love the simplicity and sustainability of STAACH products. The furniture company just released these new trays, just in time for the holiday season. Like most of their other products, these trays use FSC-certified domestic white Maple and Formaldehyde-free food safe wood glue.

You don't have to spend a lot to go green, but it's easy to make costly mistakes if you don't do your homework. There are no federal regulations for items marketed as eco-friendly so some green products might not be as green as you think. The folks at ShopSmart, from the publisher of Consumer Reports, spent months sizing up fridges, running dishwashers, burning light bulbs, and punishing faucets to find the best green kitchen products. Take a look at their tips, after the jump!

As we're sure you've noticed, we here at AT are big fans of San Francisco-based Branch. It'd been awhile since we'd checked the site out, so when we visited it this morning we were happy to see that some new products had been added. We absolutely fell in love with the Rosebud felt bowl (see above). Take a look after the jump.

We were browsing through some old videos we've made and we stumbled across a video with concrete master and Berkeley resident Fu-Tung Cheng in it. It's quick, and he tells you his top 3 ways to live a more sustainable lifestyle. See the video for yourself, after the jump!

We're always trying different ways to green our lives. An area we focus a lot of our energy on is our water consumption. Something we've always done to keep our water consumption down is to keep a (waterproof) timer in our shower...

AT reader Katzies was kind enough to take some before and after snaps of her chair reupholstering project and send them to us. We think the chair turned out absolutely beautiful, and the amazing thing is that Katzies had never upholstered anything before! Her secret (and after shot), after the jump!

If you're just getting into green paints then you know how complicated it can seem. We've been there. Greenseal this, certified that. Low or no VOC (volatile organic compounds), etc. We've been using no VOC paints for years, and we thought we'd share our favorites with you. Take a look, after the jump!

We're the first to admit that we have a hard time creating our own DIY projects. We don't look at an empty soda bottle and think "lamp shade!" or "candy bowl!" We need direction, a lot of it. So, imagine how happy we were to find this awesome magazine rack by RePlayGround, which is made out of reclaimed drumsticks and scrap wood. We could totally see ourselves making something like this (if we were to find some discarded drumsticks, that is).

Looking at brightly colored candy boxes can be nostalgic. Halloween, prizes at camp... going to the movies. These are all events that involve candy and our childhood. So, imagine our delight when we stumbled upon these DIY candy box magnets...
