Earth Friendly Design is Out of This World!
Earth Day. What’s not to love about this big, beautiful planet?
What could be better than a day celebrating this marvelous planet we all call home. While Earth Day 2010 has recently come and gone, the fact remains that green, earth, or eco-friendly design is definitely getting a lot more attention these days. And why not? With the fabulous offerings that are available anymore, scarcity and price are becoming less of an obstacle for homeowners and designers alike. With such a blog worthy topic, we decided to share a little fun from Design Connection, Inc.’s earthy inspiration files. Enjoy and remember to show the earth a little love both inside and outside of your home!

We can all do our part to contribute to the health of our planet by making wise choices when it comes to our homes, their construction and the things we put into them to make them lovely. By consciously seeking items that are sustainable, we will make green mainstream. If you are wanting environmentally friendly furniture, fabrics and accents… well you know where to find me and the Design Connection, Inc. team. Together we can hug this planet and still make everything look simply out of this world!
