Pendleton

As the days of summer amble along, add some classic Americana decor to your home with Pendleton.  Known for their classic blankets and such, this company also offers this whimsical yet staid Horshoe Lamp and Shade.  Recycled trotter horseshoes are hand-welded into these one-of-a-kind lamps that are topped with a handmade burlap shade.  I think a pair of these would make excellent bedside lamps in a light-filled, stark, white room.  While you’re browsing for orGLAMic wares, also take a peek at the delightful Riata and Stripe Easy Care blankets made of ‘eco-wise’ wool.

Inhabit

Inhabit never ceases to amaze me with their chic eco-friendly stylings.  Today I present to you their amazing Braille Wall Flat.  This simple, yet powerful, addition to a room is made from 100% bamboo pulp and therefor biodegradable!  Each flat can be easily trimmed and mounted to fit any shape, and the scraps can be recycled with paper products or composted.  These durable and sustainable wall coverings are also chemical-free.  And while I like the stark white (surprise, surprise) these would also look really fun painted – with no/low VOC paints, of course!  Click here to purchase the reasonably priced Braille Wall Flat, and here to shop their entire orGLAMic collection.
