Kitchen & Bath Month is coming to a close, and hopefully you're inspired to make some changes and try new ways to green your bath and kitchen. But, it's easy to feel a little intimidated, so we’ve f...
While browsing through Design*Sponge recently, we came across the home of Diana Yen of The Jewels of New York, a beautiful slow food and seasonal cooking blog. Her Brooklyn home was warm and lovely...
At the office we use actual cardboard boxes to sort our recyclable paper from trash. However, these 100% recycled cardboard wastepaper baskets, CHUCK, would look much better sitting under the desk…...
Okay, so there are a lot of great reusable bags out there. But sometimes you need something above and beyond just a bag – maybe you need a vented produce bag, or a insulated bag to keep your frozen...
Here’s another reusable tote to add to the list – Green Side Bags. These bags are as large as a paper shopping bag but fold up to the size of an eyeglass case, and have a convenient exterior pock...
These tree-free paper waste bins are made from 100% recycled cotton remnants "pressed to resemble leather." Great for a home office that needs some color and useful, sensible recycled products (not mo...
The votes are in and EcoHangers are hot (19 to 6). While some people have enough hangers around to make book racks from them, we are always looking for more. The BoB hanger is another option that supp...
How do you leave yourself reminders? We stick yellow post-it notes to the front door. "Cupcakes are in the fridge." "Doctor appointment -- 10am." That's why we like these round notice boards by Kotona...
Look at this great tip from reader Lisa, who found a good way to corral the condiment bottles in her fridge. Her solution is easy, free, and it even recycles. posted originally from: TheKitchn...
Since we spent time reorganizing at home, we took things to the streets and spent a couple of hours up at our office rearranging our workspace. And now, we're on the quest for a bulletin board for imp...
While browsing through some house tours at the AT city sites (one of our favorite ways to pass the time) we happened upon this image from Jason and J.R.'s Well-Connected Home. We really like the idea...
I'm not shy about admitting that I have a lot of bikes. The fact that four of them live in the guest room however, is not something I'm proud of. My promise of a bike shed to my girlfriend has been pu...
If you've been hunting for wall-mounted, closed storage for the kitchen, Toronto-based Urban Product might have just the design for you. They've come up with Kitschin, an ingenious little storage bi...
We've seen similar bins woven from recycled magazines, and while those might be glossy and colorful, these matte newsprint versions might fit into some decor schemes a bit better. posted originall...
There's something endearing about the Misprint Magazine Rack from Viva Terra. Made from wood that has been resurfaced with the colorful remnants of metal can misprints, this wall-hung organizer is g...
As a professional organizer, we find dry cleaning bags to be irksome for a couple reasons. The environmental waste is obvious. But from a closet organizing perspective, we see a lot of clothes org...
During our green kitchen redesign, finding stainless steel anything to match our appliances proved cost prohibitive. These stainless steel shelves are more reasonably priced than many, and made by a c...
For those of you in the market for a built-in storage solution and you're considering companies like California Closets, you might want to check out the new eco kid on the block in the world of cust...
We had some serious cabinet chaos thanks to an overabundance of tea and coffee. These simple wooden crates we picked up for less than a dollar each at the local salvage store did the trick......
For our redesign and organizing business, we have frequent occasion to help people select storage bins to corral their stuff. More times than not, we revert to plastic bins. So we're delighted tha...
We were having a discussion with a neighbor the other day, and he mentioned he kept every single baby food jar from his daughter’s early days. Initially shocked that he kept them all, we quickly und...
When browsing though The Container Store recently, we were struck by how eco-unfriendly the stacks of plastic bins must be (and thought guiltily of the ones we have stashed under the bed). Just as ...
Cereal boxes make great material for office DIY projects, since their dimensions work with standard paper and magazine sizes (case in point: this cereal box magazine holder). Here's another idea tha...
The greenest way to correspond is probably by e-mail -- no paper, no ink, no emissions shipping your note from one end of the country to the other, etc. However, we still like to keep our home offic...
Our most recent REI impulse purchase: this pair of Patagonia shoes. But this morning, the box became more interesting than the shoes — we feel like a kid at Christmas....
