We hear about green living these days and while most of us tend to want it because it is the fashion trend of eco-friendly living, a lot has to be said with regards to how we should go about building green and eco-friendly homes. By eco-friendly living we of are course referring to the type of home environment that we have starting from raw materials all the way to the type of stuff we have inside our homes which include appliances and furniture

Put your imagination and creative mind to work and you will come up with good designs that can improve your homes. In this case, peach pit flooring can bring something new and elegant as far as improving the overall home design you currently have.

Hi, guys i have found a series of eco friendly futon covers from a loyal reader of our blogs, his name is Matt. I like to call him Futon Matt. He specializes in all sorts of futon mattresses and has been in the futon business for over 7 years. That’s alot of time to be around any one thing. LOL.
Let me get serious for a second. I was perusing the site that Matt has created and on the left sidebar is a section devoted to his eco friendly o

It is well known that the former Baywatch actress has a green streak running through her and what better way to prove it than developing five acres of prime water front land in her home town of Ladysmith in Canada. She has teamed up with Geoff Courtnall the ex hockey player to build eighty three eco friendly housing units.

Now this stuff is great although there are certain problems with cardboard furniture, these are strength, fire and water resistance, these three factors would be able to destroy the furniture and good part of the home too. This is a bit of a worry if you are setting up home in a new place etc.
However on the other hand these items are going to be totally recyclable when they are finished with which it’s a great point. All in all, these piece

It’s great to see items made from tyres, we say this a lot and it seems there are more and more designers seeing that the material used to make the humble car tyre can also be used to produce some excellent items that can be used both in the home and outside.
Each rug uses around 130 to 140 inner tubes from bicycle tyres that have been discarded. Made in India by hand and loomed by hand too.

It seems the UK have a surplus of serviceable yet out dated computers and despite the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, which should see most electrical items disposed of using the manufacturers own disposal facilities, it is estimated that some twelve and half million older laptops and PC’s have not been recycled or reused.
What’s worse is what is actually happening to these old machines. Twenty five per cent are

Olive oil is a wonderful product, but it does not have to always be used in cooking, as there are a number of other applications that you may not know and you will be surprised at the amount of jobs and solutions which can be done with a bottle of olive oil.

Flip flops are not very eco friendly they get lost in sea and break into bits which is not very nice for the wildlife because they can choke on the smaller pieces. But what do you do with all of those flip flops that do not get sold?
Make furniture out them is the answer which is not only eco friendly but the furniture is so cool that it will look brilliant in any home or office, like this ottoman. Its multi coloured, looks like it could have

Recycling old pieces of metal etc is nothing new. But when they are put together and turned into something else entirely which is useful and stylish too.
The main part of the body is made from some sort of a metal bottle, which is very handy because where the bottle had a screw top this, can now be used as an easy opener so that the money can be taken out.

What great picnic table, this has been created by using old recycled skis, which is a good idea, because these things are made to be very tough, after all they do go through a lot a punishment when they are being used, so they must be good enough for a table.
It comes in at a size of thirty inches by sixty inches and is very heavy, which will last the test of time, unlike normal picnic benches which are prone to splitting and drying out, which

This is a nice piece of design and creation, which would look great in any home and in any place around the home.
It is made from an old recycled bicycle chain ring, which everyone knows because it is the part that the pedals go through and the chain around. The clock face is merely a piece of printed paper, but when the whole thing is combined it just looks great.
Requires one AA battery which is included, the clock measures around seven inch

When you look at these gloves and aprons at first they look as if they could be fire proof let alone just being oven proof, but they are what they say and these really do the job and look the part.
These are actually made from old Swedish navy sacks which have been standing the test of time for a long time with all of the elements that you get at sea they would have to be, so could they survive in today’s kitchens? Yes they could and look bri

This is great way of saving electricity for lighting, its lamp as you can see, but with a difference.
This lamp is powered by hand all you need to do hold the handle which actually looks like a hand drill, you know those ones that were around before electricity! Once you have turned the handle for around a minute this would have built up enough charge to power LED’s for up to an hour, great!

Have you ever wanted to plow your own drive? It will save time and money, plus you get the satisfaction of knowing that you have done it all on your own in more ways than one.
This snow plow is the brain child of bike designer Kevin Blake, and like everyone else he probably thought the same when it came to the time that snow plows are needed. But he no longer has to wait for the plow man; he gets out and does it for himself.

This has to be the ultimate in recycling and design, its modern and its eco friendly too. Which is why this is so desirable by some people and some people would think that it is totally wrong, which it may be for certain types of home etc.
It is held in a stainless steel frame which will stand the test of time due to the hard wearing ability, the build runs up the middle so that it gets the best of the glass and the light effect.
