Green with Envy

The Bite

Jonesing to keep up with the greener Joneses? Up the ante with a few hip, high-design furnishings from Kellygreen Design + Home, all made from reused, recycled, deadstock, or organic materials. Owner Kelly Van Patter (production designer for Survivor and The Apprentice) offers green interior design services to the industry as well as residential homes, and stocks her store with modern furniture, tableware, and home accessories. Look for recycled-metal coasters crafted from tin cans, organic mattresses from Keetsa, bowls made from reclaimed wood, and biodegradable pots - we left with a few straight-from-the-forest Juniper Ridge Douglas Fir sachets. Jealous?
