EcoChic:The baby addition


This rocker is made from completely sustainable
wood and recycled seatbelts

It has recently come to my attention that, yes I am indeed of age to have a legitimate family of my own. As scary as that is, seeing my close friends becoming parents has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience. However having these cute little additions to your family can wreck havoc on your interior. So you ask.....how do you mix Eames tables with bassinets? Does my entire house need to look like Chucky cheese? My answer: Absolutely not.

A few years ago I designed a chic and ecofriendly nursery, for a young could that didn't want to sacrifice their own personal design styles. Being ecofriendly was equally important to the couple because; not only did they want to lessen their own personal carbon footprints but protect their new born from as many outside toxin's as possible.
Companies like DucDuc, Design Republic and Green & More, made this a fairly easy and fun process.
It took a bit of work to pull it all together, but I was able to find quite a few pieces for both Mommy and baby that they feel in love with, and I hope you do as well.

Each crib is 100% hardwood, made with non-toxic, water based lacquers 

100% wool area rugs, which makes them hypoallergenic and recyclable

The adorable Vitra elephant is made from dyed poly propylene and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the interior of these zid zid poof stools are 100% recycled cotton, the cute ilgooplay rocker is sourced North American hardwood veneers w/ hardwood maple or walnut faces

Eco--chic wouldn't be complete with out a vintage toy! Properly cleaning and reusing an antique is the perfect way to add charm to a nursery.
