biodegradable cutlery

cutlery biodegradable cutleryLooking to have a ton of people over but don’t have enough cutlery to go around? Really don’t want to buy plastic and toss it into the garbage after knowing it’s just going to end up in a landfill?

Check out this biodegradable cutlery. Made from potato starch, it’s not only biodegradable, you can compost it, too — it completely breaks down in three to six weeks. And while the price is somewhat higher, isn’t it worth it for never having to rely on petroleum-based plastic knives, forks and spoons again?

Price: $5.99 (package of 50)

graham & brown wallpaper

grahambrown graham & brown wallpaperIf you were at the Style at Home Show this past weekend and visited our Dream Master Bedroom, you couldn’t miss the stunning Graham & Brown wallpaper that set off the walls in our feature space (beautifully put together by our senior design editor, Margot Austin, with help from the rest of our super-talented design team!).

Home Depot is now carrying Graham & Brown’s five smart and stylish, environmentally friendly wallpaper patterns. Included: the dramatic Heritage in Charcoal (above left) and more subtle Summer in Oatmeal (above right).

Produced using papers made from FSC-certified wood and printed with water-based inks that contain no solvents or VOCs, the wallpapers are recyclable and cleverly packaged in compostable materials made from corn starch.
