June 2009

This Month's issue of Designer Monthly features "Green Design".

We start things off with a special feature on Living Green, showing you different ways you can change your lifestyle and your room designs in environmentally-friendly ways. Our Room of the Month highlights a small sitting area designed with earth-friendly objects. Little Things highlights independent designers producing "up-cycle" goods. Our Feng Shui article discusses ways to blend Feng Shui with Green Design. Our Children's Room feature will start your children off right with green-friendly products and decorating ideas.

So start thinking about ways you can recyle,reuse, and decorate with sustainable green design by reading this issue of Designer Monthly!
