Art + Interiors: Earthy Chic

Happy Earth Day everyone! I try to live green daily but I love having a day where we all take a minute to consider how we can be a bit better to Mother Earth. I rounded up some of my favorite eco-friendly products this holiday season for a gift guide over on coco+kelley and am thrilled to be on the verge of re-launching 'Kelley Green' again to share the most chic eco-friendly finds on the market. 

Being a lover of nature and design, African textiles have always fascinated me with their graphic patterns and steady rhythms. In contrast to the perfect pattern repeats seen in contemporary textiles, the organic, handmade quality of the ceremonial bark cloth gives them an intrinsic beauty.

To be honest this space would feel like home to me instantly. There is such warmth in natural materials and the geometric patterns and modern silhouettes give it a fresh and contemporary edge. Have a fabulous weekend and make sure to show Mother Earth some serious love..Enjoy!

Eco Gift Guide for Coco+Kelley

Okay so we are officially only 4 days til Christmas, so most of you have probably been much more on top of things than I have and have all your Christmas shopping done, but in case you don't, just thought I'd share this Eco-friendly Gift Guide I put together for Coco+Kelley. I am so excited and honored to be contributing to the amazing design blog in the New Year with posts on Eco-friendly products and resources and continuing her 'Kelley Green' column! She asked me to put together a Gift Guide in the mean time and I thought I'd share it with all of you just in case you missed it on Coco+Kelley last week. She's been posting fabulous gift guides all week so definitely head over there to check them out as well!
