Rest easy: Non-toxic, Eco (and Human) Friendly Bedding Choices


Rest easy: non-toxic, eco (and human) friendly bedding choices... feel good about the textiles you and your family cozy up in at night!
There are a refreshing number of companies offering organic and natural fiber linens and mattresses. Coyuchi (https://www.coyuchi.com) takes it to the next level sourcing products "produced and processed to the strictest evenironmental standards in safe and humane conditions, from the farm to the factory to the store to your home"...we think about food in this wholistic way, it makes sense to apply these standards to the furnishings we use on a daily basis. 
Below are photos from a recent project: all natural bedding and mattresses were sourced through Coyuchi. Small decorative pillow fabric is by Lisa Fine Textiles, king shams fabric is "European Flax" an eco-responsible linen by Casamance . If you are interested in learning more about the risks of traditional cotton farming here is an interesting article: http://www.organiccotton.org/…/I…/Risk-of-cotton-farming.php)
Do you have a favorite company or source for organic, natural bedding?

Mountain Modern


Dining Room: Jackson Hole, Wyoming (Art by Travis Walker)


















I wanted to share this recent project, a contemporary ski house. The key was the mix of clean-lined modern furnishings with textural elements like Urban Hardwoods reclaimed wood tables. Particularly satisfying was helping my clients find local craftsmen (Charlie at Magpie Furniture) and artists: Travis Walker's painting hangs behind the dining room table. The result is a welcoming, laid-back interior, bright and happy.
