Going Green

Clearly its been a trend and more a way of living that should stick around forever. Who doesn't love the idea of recycling, turning trash into new treasure, learning to think outside the box for new clever and creative ideas or just appreciating key touches that nature gives us each day. It's been obvious that natural earth tones are extremely popular this year and great reason for it. Natural elements such as (green) leaf patterns, (woods) refurbished furniture, (ocean blue) elements, (fire) rustic reds and oranges, (flowers), etc. are hot right now. Lets not forget all the energy efficient appliances that are flying off the shelves. Plus it eventually saves us all a pretty penny. HGTV has created a new all green home for this upcoming house give away. Really turned out amazing. This is one of the great pics that I had to share. Coffee table books are always a great accesory and conversational pieces to use.

These are a few pieces that I can seriously do a lot of oooooooo....ooooooohhhhhh....ahhhhhh....Has nothing to do with the HGTV house but just pieces I came by that fit my love for tuscan style. Keep in mind they are pieces of natural elements. Clay, wood and iron are earth friendly =)
