Garden Accessories at VivaTerra for my Eco-friendly Tuesday

Posted on April 7, 2009

I browsed last night the latest collection at this inspiring Earth-conscious retailer. VivaTerra is not afraid to stylishly use colors. The handcrafted elegance is part of their appeal.

Prolonging the Life of What Used to Be Trash

The products I selected are green because they are made with reclaimed materials or the recycled parts. The Misprint lanterns are a perfect example. The designer found a few sheet-metal factories that were willing to supply her with their colorful misprint remnants. She transforms what used to be trash into Moroccan inspired print lanterns. This type of collaboration is  part of the equation in reducing our footprints.

    Thanks for this, it’s a breath of fresh air on this chilly spring day 🙂 We were too busy moving in last year to pay much attention to our front balcony, but it’s a good size and I can’t wait to find the perfect chair and accessories. Those lanterns are awesome! I love the terrariums too.

    Patricia and Anile: I see that the terrarium popularity is not just in magazines. I am glad since I dream of cultivating my own.

    Anile: I needed this since today felt like fall not spring 🙁

    I love these letters on the wall! What a refreshing idea. It gives me the idea of recycling old posters and old photos to do something like that in my bathroom… A nice and big « RELAX » sign…

    Thanks Kim!

    Lucie: An excellent idea for your bathroom. I forgot to mention that more words are available at VivaTerra. Besides grow, you can buy: garden, go green, eat, dream. But I do not know why the omit the word relax.
