Lovely rugs made from recycled T-shirts. I’m sure they are nice and cushy and soft to step on… but the nicest part is that you can just throw these into the washing machine and hang them out to dry. Handcrafted by the talented Etsy seller, Green at Heart, aka Laurine. She has lots of fun designs and many color combinations on her site, also custom work is available. Did someone really request a rug to match her china pattern? Sacrebleu!
$40.00 – $200.00 at Green at Heart’s Etsy Shop

One of a kind and hand crafted from used oak wine barrels. Apparently the chemical properties of the oak itself affect the color, flavor, and texture of the wine in the wine-making process. Over time many of the oak properties get “leached” out of the barrel and after 3 to 5 vintages the barrel is ready to be discarded. Stil Novo Design steps in and turns this unfortunate waste into many beautiful ‘green’ idea. Old world integrity at its finest.

$395.00 for the Green Chair and $185.00 for the stool at Stil Novo Design’s Etsy Shop
