Coir Mats

Coir is a fiber derived from the husks of coconuts, specifically the coconut palm, which has been used in India for centuries for a number of uses. The natural color of coir is brown to reddish brown but it can be dyed to make bold, colorful, and graphic patterns. With their loose texture and ability to dry quickly, coir mats are nice accents around the pool, in an entrance hall, or as colorful doormats.

Eco-Friendly Switch Plates

I am amazed at how many objects can be created using discarded and recycled traffic signs, including this light switch plate from one of my favorite stoes Eco-Artware. I just love the bold, graphic black and white color and the funky shape. It kind of reminds me of those old oval-shaped doorknobs used in many homes built circa 1910 and 1920s.
