Last week AT: Chicago asked if you coaster – the overwhelming response was yes. We agree – we love coasters not only because they protect our furniture, but they also add a nice decorative additio...
The recent Sundance catalog features a lot of lovely eco-friendly items such as recycled glass dishware, repurposed décor and reclaimed wood tables – just in time for our Dining Room month and the ...
Our dish collection is something we've never really loved -- leftover plates and bowls from college, mixed with a few odds and ends from IKEA. It's all totally functional though. But, we tend to lose ...
Paperstone is an FSC, Smartwood and Rainforest Alliance-certified material made from post-consumer recycled paper and petroleum-free resin. We've seen it used for countertops, but Seattle-based arti...
We found these in the bargain bin at Target yesterday: $2.50 for a set of two bamboo placemats. (The centerpiece is a basil plant we use for cooking.) For day-to-day use these inexpensive mats were ...

We like the simple yet colorful design of these bamboo bowls from Greater Goods. The bowls come in 15 different colors and four different sizes: 11 inch low, 11.5 inch, 6 inch and 4 inch. Each bowl ...
With the SIGG lunchbox still out of stock, our dreams of an uncrushable lunchbox have been delayed. Is this shiny number the solution?...
Our little sister was an early green crusader and insisted on bringing her lunch to school (Catholic school at that!) in a cloth Crown Royal Whiskey bag. This Apple-a-Day lunchbag by Spool Sewing i...

Recycled glass .... When it comes up, we're usually talking about tile. But there are many other uses for the stuff. For instance, we love this set of serving trays by glass designer Sol Mesz. The...
We're not too proud to say we wish the lazy susan would come back in style. The deep wood finish of this one would look great in the middle of a round pedestal table, like IKEA's Docksta or, gasp, S...
Okay, we know this is silly. But on the heels of Tuesday's post about $59 reproductions of board games as wall art, we felt duty-bound to share this picture of Scrabble boards as placemats at The S...

The strong graphics and bright colors of these D.P.W. bowls won us over immediately. Boris Bally makes the bowls out of recycled street signs. He says, "Signage has become my passionate medium of ch...
A sophisticated table. Cloth placemats just aren't practical for everyday use with kids, but it can be hard to find attractive alternatives that allow for a quick and clean getaway. Enter Paper Tabl...
These Wood Salad Servers are made by hand from recycled wood and salvaged scraps left over from cabinet and furniture makers. We love the smooth finish, made silky with beeswax and walnut oil, and ...
