Eco-Friendly in California

Hello my lovely readers! Having a restful Saturday? Good. Let's go over to California today, shall we?<br /><br />Alison and Laura Forbes are the owners of The Art of Everyday Living company. Together they renovated and decorated Laura's home in Santa Monica, California. Their aim was to create a healthy, eco-friendly environment for the family and especially for Laura's sons who were babies at the time. They used unfinished furnishings, untreated wool rugs, natural latex rug pads, organic-fill sofas, cotton slipcovers, linen draperies, hemp pillows, and mineral-based lime paint.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.traditionalhome.com/images/img_carlin-houselg_12.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.traditionalhome.com/images/img_carlin-house_12.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 751px;" /></a><br />Alison Forbes Houlihan with nephew James, left, and homeowner Laura Forbes Carlin with baby Matthew. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.traditionalhome.com/images/img_carlin-houselg_4.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.traditionalhome.com/images/img_carlin-house_4.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 399px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.traditionalhome.com/images/img_carlin-houselg_7.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.traditionalhome.com/images/img_carlin-house_7.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 899px;" /></a><br />Throughout the house, sustainably harvested white-oak hardwood floors were installed and sealed with a low-VOC, nontoxic sealer.
