No Compromise: Eco-friendly furnishings that are healthy and luxurious.
Story by Connie Adair, featuring Green Design Expert Mariela Campo.
I’ve been sorting through several months’ worth of notes, e.mails and press releases that are in dire need of my attention, and realized that I hadn’t posted the second of two articles for The Toronto Sun, for which I contributed as the green design expert.
The first article was all about Fall Colours + Biodegradable Cottage Décor. This time, I was kindly asked for advice on how to decorate your home in a manner that’s both green and sophisticated; healthy and luxurious; “HIP, not hippie”, as The Edmonton Sun cleverly re-titled it.
Of course, this is a subject that is dear to my green lovin’ heart, as it’s been my mission all along to prove that green design doesn’t have to be “granola.” Yes, green can be chic + sleek — if you want it to be. Based on client feedback and the many messages that I receive on the subject, many of you do.
Since the Sun Media newspaper sites haven’t added graphics to the articles [only the print versions seem to], I’ve scanned the 2 page colour spread and have uploaded it on-line. You can read and zoom in on the article on pages 1 + 2. If you’re a registered Scribd user, you can also feel free to download the document.
I have written about most of the products that I recommended in this article before, including the stunning cork-made Cortiça Chaise Longue by Brooklyn artist Daniel Michalik, which graces the article’s cover.
You’ll notice that there is a column in the right hand margin of page 2, where I was asked about the best way to get a basic start on greening your home. I plan to re-post that in the near future, along with additional details on how to go about creating what I like to call a “clean green canvas.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1eqj4vuwa1qz81plo1_500.jpg)
