I’ll be honest. I really started thinking green after the birth of my first child. Of course, it was on my mind throughout my life. But it wasn’t until I had children that I came to truly understand that I had a responsibility to do my part in helping the environment and the future state of our planet. So the nursery is a great place to start and it is always rewarding to feel like your baby’s new home is safe, pure and sweet. So congratulations on thinking green and preparing for your new arrival.
Furniture: In order to add green elements to your new nursery, you simply need to shop with an open consciousness. Green can simply be done by reusing what is already created. Consider buying used furniture, toys, and accessories for the nursery. You can check at local children’s consignment stores, go online at Craigslist, Ebay, or freecycle.org, and hit local garage sales. If buying used isn’t working, then look at furniture stores that utilize renewable resources like www.imanimadesigns.com.
Paint: Non VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paint is a great way to go. Plus, there are so many creative things you can do with paint in any nursery to give it a unique and customized feel. You can get a lot of decorating ideas through Pottery Barn. To learn more about VOC, go to www.benjaminmoore.com.
Bottles: Just to be safe, it’s best to go with bottles that you know won’t leech. Try bottles like www.newbornfree.com because they manufacture BPA free and glass bottles.
