  2. Omigosh, this giveaway was made for me! I am in the beginning of planning our house, which we want to build and design sustainably. Hmmm...last thing I did? Drove my hybrid, recycled my wine bottle and packed my lunch made of veggies from the biodynamic farm we belong to. I hope I win!

  3. This is what my design company does best! Most of clients are not interested in getting rid of everything and starting over, so we always reuse as many of the homeowner's current items as possible. To see a few, go to my website (not the blog) at http://www.interiorstagingservices.com/portfolio and check out some of our re-designs!

  4. The last green thing I did was haul a stack of newspapers to my community garden, where we'll layer them under donated wood mulch to smother grass between the beds. I also gave away a fistfull of the season's last bell peppers to a family who were wandering through admiring the crops.

  5. This looks sensational! I've been on an interior design kick recently and I would love to be green in my efforts. The last green thing I did was drink from my re-usable water bottle, so as not to add to the landfills.
