Healthy Home :: Easy Indoor Plants

antique chest // bedroom // simplified bee #chinoiserie

As I mentioned in the Rue article, plants are an essential element of home decor. House plants bring the outside in, add a splash of color and texture, but most importantly create healthy homes. These all natural air purifiers not only give off oxygen, but some varieties are known to remove harmful chemicals such as ammonia, benzene, formaldehyde, and xylene. In addition, indoor plants can even decrease stress while boosting mood, memory, concentration. A win, win, win right? But, sometimes selecting the right plant can be overwhelming so here are some simple tips to keep in mind:

The chic laundry room design by Evars + Anderson earlier this week had me thinking about the unavoidable task of cleaning, folding and ironing the endless laundry that piles up. Okay, I rarely iron, but seem to be washing and folding clothing several times a week.

To brighten up the dreaded task, I’ve rounded up a few fresh, functional and innovative laundry room products to help you get the job done.

With March’s arrival I’ve been thinking about the warmer months ahead. One thing I enjoy most about spring is the opportunity to garden again. Every year I like to add a new gardening tool, get a fresh pair of gloves and incorporate new plants. I’ve spotted several items on my wish list at  One King Lane’s “go green” sale and I wanted to share them with you too!
