Going Green













Even with the green trend, I find there is still the belief that green design is not trendy enough, luxurious enough, or livable enough. To me, an environmental lover, it's a matter of being congruent with Earth. That's why I love to find good examples of green living and green designing. =)

So, this is how I found about Alex Scott Porter Design, a NY based firm doing green arquitechture. Love it. They're work is truly remarkable.

That's where I saw this gorgeous house, which used an antique barn about to be demolished as an addition to the previous house, joined by the kitchen (the central, glass structure). I love the contrast of old and new, and the simple design which adds elegance to this lovely house.

My favorite rooms are the living room with pink pillows and the bedroom. Exquisite.

Do you fancy green design? Are you up for green living?

Green Roofs and Vertical Gardens










Yesterday was Earth Day, and hence some inspirational works on green roofs and vertical gardens done mostly in Mexico. I love the idea of creating gorgeous, green spaces that not only are eco-friendly, but they actually do something for the environment. I wish I had a green roof at home! Happy long weekend for all.

Green Products - Skoy

I'm always on the search of green products and solutions, so when I found out about Skoy I was excited.


What is Skoy, you say?  It's a multi-purpose cloth that is perfect for cleaning hard surfaces. It's absorbent, and best of all re-usable for several months. Excellent time to ditch those paper towels, I say!

And I know some of you might already use a cloth instead of paper towels in your household chores (like me). What makes this one better? Opposite to microfiber cloths, Skoy is made from natural fibers, so it's 100 percent biodegradable. (LOVE those words!).
