Ruby Red Stoplight Pendant Lamp
The Ruby Red Stoplight Pendant Lamp is a unique and very cool hanging light fixture uses discarded traffic light glass lenses. Colored texture against satin aluminum. You could hang them in a series or go it alone in a smaller space. At the very least you’ll have one of the more unique lights on the block.
This is a great way to use a reclaimed item, that otherwise would simply languish in a landfill. Available at Earth Friendly Goods.

Brastilo is a great company, with plenty of lovely items for your sustainable home. Brastilo home products are created with renewable and eco-friendly materials. Brastilio has this to say about their wood use:
“Our wood comes entirely from specially planted and managed forests located in the south of Brazil in the states of Santa Catarina, Paraná, and Rio Grande do Sul. Brastilo currently cultivates over 40,500 acres a year in our pine forests, which yield over one million cubic feet of lumber annually. When harvested, the largest pieces are used to make furniture, while smaller pieces are converted to fiberboard and paper.”
Two unique pieces that I like in particular include…
Blue Paper Bowl: Made from recycled newspaper!
Banana Leaf Hanging Lamp: Made from banana leafs. At first I wasn’t sure about this lamp. But I kept going back to look at it. I think, that in the right home it would look great. The colors are unique, so it’s not going to work anywhere, but I can see it in a white heavy space, or maybe natural toned space.
Brastilo has furniture, accessories, and more. Pay them a visit, you’ll love their sustainable decor ideas.

Do I ever have a garden set for you. Greenergrassdesign offers so many amazing items that it’s a little overwhelming - in a nice breath taking sort of way. They have many options if you’re looking for some outdoor living items come spring. My two favorites…
The Smile by David Trubridge for relaxation:
Trubridge’s work is created in New Zealand, using natural materials. This Smile would fit nicely on your porch or in the grass. Available in untreated ash or teak with a stainless steel base. Also, available as an add-on option is a full size futon. Now, if you’d like to relax at twilight or in the evening you’ll need the perfect light to go with this. Greenergrassdesign has that perfect lighting - the Sun Jar by Suck UK.
The Sun Jar is made with an old fashioned frosted Mason jar. Inside the jar is a solar cell, rechargeable battery and some low energy LED lamps. You charge the light during the day in the sun, and when evening comes, the light diffuses through the jar to light up your world. Warm LED lights are use to create a soothing, natural light. Plus they’re automatic. When it gets dark they glow. As a bonus they’re perfectly suitable for the outdoors - water-tight and safe. I love this idea for the garden. The Sun Jar would also make a great night light for a child or guest bath. You could even line many up on a picnic table for late summer dinners.
Really flawless living - can you imagine yourself lounging around in the warm spring and summer evenings. This seating and light, maybe some wine. Nice and peaceful.
Greenergrassdesign is worth a long good look. I’m particularly in love with their lighting options, especially their Milk Bottle Lights, but they also offer textiles, baby items (to die for), kitchen ware, jewelry, and so much more.
