Those organic throw pillows are awesome! I didn't realize they made them with such an array of designs yet. Organic pillows are also really important for your bed/where you sleep each night. You definitely want to be sleeping on the cleanest/healthiest materials possible.

If you're looking for an natural mattress, I would definitely check out Savvy Rest's organic mattresses. They have a great selection and each mattress is completely customizable as far as how hard/soft you'd like your mattress to be. They have an actual store in Charlottesville and several dealers if you want to go check out your mattress options in person. They have a huge knowledge base of all aspects that an organic mattress has to go though as well as several certifications.

Highly recommended, great product and great customer service. You should call them if you have any specific questions in your search.

Great list of "green" boutiques! The one in Austin is right by my house and very cool. It's amazing how furniture and bedding can be eco friendly these days - it's about time. In addition to all the great decorations and bedding, purchasing an organic mattress should definitely be at the start of green purchases for the bedroom.

Sleeping in a non toxic space is definitely worth the change from traditional mattresses!

That looks so cool! What a great art project. I know I don't always have the time but artwork is very important in any room as it gives it character. If you don't have the time for a DIY project, but love art or already have an image you would like on canvas, Gallery Direct offers a ton of canvas artwork in a bunch of categories like landscape, abstract, vintage, etc, or you can even send in a personal print and get it printed on any size canvas you like. It's extremely awesome. Anyways, thanks for the DIY tips.

Wow, that house is gorgeous. I love the feel it gives off with all the unique furniture and great light from the windows. I think I'm going to try and take my house in a similar direction, incorporating modern and antique pieces throughout the house, coupled with some contemporary bedroom furniture for my private space. This is a beautiful example of how to decorate a house with taste and style.

Great table, sorry it was gone before you could buy it! I was looking for a similar modern table so when I saw your post, I knew I had to share my findings. I could check out this modern coffee table from BoConcept. They have a good variety and several side tables to match the style and aesthetic you were going for. Hope this helps, good luck!

I love finding niche and vintage furniture off of Craigslist. If you take the time to look in your area, you can really find some awesome pieces. I think it's good to mix old/unique/cheap furniture with some modern contemporary furniture. It gives the room a nice balance between old and new. A lot of times, people come in my house and they can't tell what I've spent a good deal of money on and what I grabbed off Craigslist or at goodwill. Those pieces are hard to come by, but well worth the effort!

It's beautiful! The eclectic artwork and the modern design adds personal flare to every room. I have contemporary living room furniture all over my place and it makes all the difference. Here is some stuff I used:http://boconcept.com/

I think that something darker colored would greatly help all the "mainstream beige" going on in the room. I would suggest this modern coffee table: http://www.boconcept.us/Default.aspx?ID=83605&ImageID=609&flashimageid=0

It's from BoConcept and is priced pretty reasonably. I think the brown and black accents would be the variety you need to liven up the room but still keep it modern. The corners on this table aren't too pointed either, and it's not glass (for child protection.)
