Bamboo is a beautiful and notoriously strong building material that I have noticed is becoming more and more popular in home decor. Check out the following examples of bamboo in all its wonderful forms!

Kennedy Bamboo Curtains

These natural bamboo grommet-top panels will add a modern look to your window. They also add enough light without compromising your privacy. Hang on decorative rod or pole. These curtains are made of 100% bamboo which also happens to be a natural and completely renewable resource.

I love modern design but even I agree that it can seem cold at times, implementing touches of nature goes a long way in adding warmth and humanity to your otherwise icy decor.

Currently sold at JCPenney.com: WAS $85.00 NOW $34.99

Bamboo Bathtub Caddy with Bookstand and Wine Glass Holder

This beautifully designed caddy also has a place to hang your razor and your loofah, as well as a built-in draining soap dish. It adjusts to fit most tubs, and the bamboo is water resistant, which means this will remain as beautiful as if it were brand new.

I like how they chose to implement this product with a good book and a glass of red wine! Ahhh, makes me want to take a long sudsy bath…

Sold at Delight Networks for $46.50

My parent’s house has a series of arched windows facing the front of the house. They are really beautiful and add depth and character to the setting, however now that my parents are older they do not enjoy the direct sunlight at certain hours of the day. My mother’s lazy solution is to stuff the windows with a bunch of oriental fans! It looks ugly, enough said.

Which is why I recently emailed her this wonderful solution, the Arch Cellular Shade from JCPenney.

The Arch Cellular shade is both affordable and durable. Makes a wonderful insulator for both cold and warm weather, and is constructed of a light filtering, non-woven polyester with PVC bottom rail.

Price depends on size you need but here are some examples:

(23×11) was $30.00 now: $14.99

(35×17) was $40.00 now: $19.99

Many more  sizes and colors are available, to shop for the Arch Cellular Shade, click here. 

The key is not to get overwhelmed. Take baby steps toward making your home more eco-friendly. Take a moment to change your fluorescent or halogen bulbs in your home to LED light bulbs which use a fraction of the electricity and last much longer.

In a similar vein, check out Mesh Slider Panels for Blinds offered by JCPenney.com.
