Design Miscellany: House Rules for Making Every Day Earth Day

http://ellenhansondesignsmiscellany.blogspot.com/2012/04/house-rules-for-making-every-day-earth.html

Sunday, April 22, 2012. House Rules for Making Every Day Earth Day. Our top tips for sustainability in the home from the smartest new products to the simplest common sense steps. Take a deep breath. We have fallen in love with several low to no VOC paints of late and find the lack of smell and high quality of the product (making for fewer applications and better wear) offsets the slightly higher cost of the paint. Stark’s. Has some great color. Collections and high performance no VOC lacquer-like paints.

http://ellenhansondesignsmiscellany.blogspot.com/2013/04/chic-cycle-for-earth-day.html

Monday, April 22, 2013. Chic-Cycle for Earth Day. With another revolution of the seasons, Earth Day is once again upon us. This year, we take a look at what it means to be green in the land of high-end furnishings. Instead of working up the usual ‘Top Ten Green Products’ or ‘Tips to Preserve the Planet’, we asked friends to share their best or most surprising chic-cycle moments (and we share a few of our own.). Inspiration Strikes in the Strangest Places. In the holy trinity of Reduce Reuse Recyle. Jewel...

Design Miscellany: Wanting Opulently (even in the afterlife)

http://ellenhansondesignsmiscellany.blogspot.com/2012/05/wanting-opulently-even-in-afterlife.html

Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Wanting Opulently (even in the afterlife). Photograph of Exterior of the Sun God's Eternal Home; photo by Ellen Hanson. It's as if every demon from hell with aspirations. Toward interior design flew overhead and indiscriminately. Spouted gouts of molten gold, that cooled down. To swan-shape spigots, doorknobs, pen-and-inkwell sets. A chandelier the size of a planetarium dome. Is gold, and the commodes. The handrails. Heading to the wine cellar and the shelving for the DVDs. And s...

Design Miscellany: Snow Day

http://ellenhansondesignsmiscellany.blogspot.com/2011/01/snow-day.html

Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Who wants to get out of bed on a day like this? All I want to do is wrap myself in a soft, warm and specially colored blanket. The color needs to match my mood and today's choice would be this hot red number from D Bryant Archie. D Bryant Archie Throw photographed by Kristy Knight. Some people have to carry their blankets with them everywhere they go like these Maasai warriors who inspired D's. Photo courtesy of Creative Commons sharing, Brutere for Wikipedia. In the Off Duty.
