Recycled Letters and Eco Nightstand by Urban Outfitters

urbanletter081808.jpgDecorating with letters is a trend we never really fell for, but these definitely made us look twice. We were scanning the Urban Outfitters site because we’re in the market for nightstands. And besides this accessory, which is made from 100 percent recycled materials, we did find a cute end table, from a modern furniture line they’re touting as eco-friendly…

 
 

The letters are made from 100% recycled materials, and feature designs of canned goods—Spam makes more than one appearance.

We can’t help but wonder why they don’t ship all their furniture in recycled packaging. But hopefully someone who’s debating over which dresser to purchase will be swayed by the option that’s more green. In the mean time, we’re still looking for exactly the right pair.

I know what you mean about the letters--the ones covered in fabric always seemed a little too country cottage-y for me, but this one's kinda cute.
