This spirit has undoubtedly permeated my design."</blockquote>With bold scale, this over-sized headboard comes with the collection's signature square pattern design.

The Preserve foam replaces 20% of the petroleum-based ingredients with a renewable soy-based BiOH polyol. The fibers are 80% regenerated fibers. Regenerated fibers consist of virgin fibers and waste fibers that are added with a binder fiber. This reduces the amount of waste that would normally go into our nation’s landfills.<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fm52PRRhdWA/SawOP5rj3JI/AAAAAAAAAa0/U-fZteH2fMg/s400/LEE.Cover.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308633727107325074" border="0" /><span style="font-style: italic;"><blockquote>Earth-Friendly Efforts Long Before it Became "Status Quo." ~ LEE</blockquote></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The NaturalLEE story: this fashion-forward upholstery manufacturer lovingly combines eco-technology with creative chic styling.

Although, everyone wants to get into the green movement, the green road is not as easy as it looks. True innovation + change comes with time and commitment and BiOH is leading the way in changing how manufacturers make upholstered furniture. Consumers need to understand the "shades of green" in terms of sustainability and need to make informed choices in how to purchase home interior goods. Leslie Carothers, social media strategist of BiOH states: <div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>"BiOH soy based foams are a more <span style="font-style: italic;">responsible choice</span> for the consumer on the continuum of choice but not <span style="font-style: italic;">the greenest choice</span>, as foam made with BiOH soy polyols is a combination of soy and petrol. At this time, only 20% max of any cushion or mattress can contain soy because the technology does not exist to make a cushion that meets the manufacturer’s specifications for comfort". </blockquote></div>The Good News: the pricing of upholstery made with BiOH soy cushions will not cost the consumer any more than making a choice to buy an all foam sofa and this makes the green-choice a whole lot easier. All you have to do is ask your retail sales consultant, "Which upholstery manufacturers do you carry use BiOH?<span style="font-style: italic;"> It feels good to be green.</span><span class="subhead"><br /><br />The Technology of it: What are BiOH® Polyols?</span><br /><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">"We guess that you’re probably asking that question since “</span>polyol<span style="font-style: italic;">” is not a word that most people use everyday, and we know that the majority of our family and friends still don’t completely understand what we do!" ~ the BiOH family.</span><br /></blockquote><strong style="font-weight: normal;">BiOH polyols are an ingredient for flexible foam in products you use daily: </strong>upholstered furniture, mattresses, mattress toppers, pillows, carpet cushion, and automotive seats. Traditional foam and carpet cushion ingredients are made from petroleum-based chemicals. BiOH polyols are made from a renewable resource ~ soybean oil. (See the Soy Love section.) Today BiOH polyols cannot replace all of the petroleum chemicals in these products, but they are leading the industry.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">To learn more about BiOH and how to support other sustainable manufacturers in home decor, look to The BiOH Experience: ways to make a positive impact in your world at www.experienceBiOH.com.<br /></div>Dream Coderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13564081567951809181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3805764119538541760.post-37582326080597898112009-03-29T18:47:00.000+06:002009-03-29T18:47:00.209+06:00From the Streets of London :Bohemian Chic with a Touch of Gothic Grunge ~<div style="text-align: justify;">Living in London ~ home decor fashion takes on the grunge goodness of chic design and avant-garde textiles. Let your inner bohemian free to re-cover existing frames with artist canvas and express an eclectic nature of decor by painting your own designs, or purchase custom hand-painted chairs & settees. Either way, you bring new life to any city dweller's loft or London pad.<br /><br />Don't be afraid ~ spice things up with fabulous color splashes of bold M&M greens to silk-glam-pinks, or express the darker side of bohemian life, with Gothic birds and black-&-white graffiti designs. {lifestyle photo: via coco+kelly at flickr}.<br /></div><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 317px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fm52PRRhdWA/SbcWfQqYBCI/AAAAAAAAAcM/UA3ak76H5Kw/s400/BohemianGrunge.Green.Flickr+Via+Coco+%2B+Kelly..jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311739011811247138" border="0" /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fm52PRRhdWA/SbceP2HlSfI/AAAAAAAAAdE/1Y0cVstI5fc/s400/Life.Jimmie+Martin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311747543080978930" border="0" />über glam chairs: from pink-satin cat-woman to pink flamingos + from dog-split chair-pairs to "God Save The Queen" black-gothic, this line is a must see journey into the...<div style="text-align: center;"><blockquote>[ bohemian mind + creative genius ] of mr. jimmie martin.</blockquote></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /></div><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fm52PRRhdWA/SbceZc_Hb4I/AAAAAAAAAdM/TnezytPTNdM/s400/RedSettee.Jimmie+Martin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311747708133273474" border="0" /><br /><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 235px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fm52PRRhdWA/SbcWnPC56CI/AAAAAAAAAcU/6OPMzVp8IfA/s400/BRIT.SOFA.Jimmie+Martin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311739148816214050" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fm52PRRhdWA/SbcW4Gm8EdI/AAAAAAAAAck/WPljB9mh0xQ/s400/Green.Jimmie+Martin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311739438609207762" border="0" />This luxury brand of home decor + custom design house <span style="font-style: italic;">Jimmie Martin, Ltd</span>, brings "an eclectic showcase of one-off pieces of furniture combining the decadent and quirky with the nostalgic and urban."<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The classic style chairs + settees are hand painted and can be commissioned after your own design & color scheme.

Founded in 2004 by Bill Hilgendorf and Jason Horvath, this is one of the most unique small design + build furniture companies on the planet. These guys know their wood slabs and are truly devoted to sustainability issues.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">"For us sustainability is about choosing materials with the least amount of environmental impact, whether it is what they are made of, how they are produced or where they come from, and using them in a way where little to no waste is created."</span><br /></blockquote>The Bilge Lounge Chair is crafted by using reclaimed bourbon barrel staves from Kentucky and used truck springs. This chair is ~ true green.<br /><br />Another organic find from Uhuru's Küpe line, is the Stave Bench {above}, which is constructed from reclaimed bourbon barrel staves and black steel. By utilizing functional design, while retaining the individual characteristics and natural colors of the aged wood from the original barrels, the team at Uhuru easily create a new vernacular in craftsmanship.

His philosophy for this industry is refreshing, not to mention, his profound thoughts on trees:<blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">"Trees are the guardians of everything sacrosanct. They hold secrets of the past and relinquish everything necessary to sustain the future. We allow trees to do the talking. We simply listen."</span></blockquote>This 96" long organic console pictured above by John Houshmand is a great anchor piece for any loft. Made from old growth heart pine beams and a steel frame, this piece signifies the urban industrial ideal.
