GREEN IT: kelly laplante

it's really befitting that these eco-chic images are from interior designer named kelly laplante.

near and dear to my heart, kelly is a big believer in upcycling, recycling and repurposing.

my takeaways:

repaint. totally love the artwork above that ultra fab lipstick red refurbished dining table!

strip. what a fantastic stripped down concrete floor that she kept in her loft.

collect. make you own "mix + match" set of china from

curate. artfully arrange your bookshelves. find books at library sales or thrift shops.

yep, second-hand is more than eco-chic. it's super smart!
