If you’re getting started on a green bathroom remodel, don’t forget to select sustainable materials when it comes to items like your medicine cabinet and bathroom vanity. Bamboo is always a good choice, because it’s plentiful, grows quickly, and it can withstand the moist conditions common to bathrooms. The medicine cabinet above measures 27″X8″X36″, and it’s available at Decor 66. It includes 3 polished glass shelves.

Even if you’re not taking the plunge for a full green bathroom remodel, you can always green your smaller bathroom accessories such as your clothes hamper, and other storage items. The bamboo bathroom collection above includes a toilet brush, plunger, clothes hamper, candle holder, toilet paper holder, and tissue canister. It’s available at Plow and Hearth.

If you’re looking for green living tips, there’s still time to catch the Better Homes and Gardens Living Green home tour in cities across the US.  The exhibit showcases green home decorating options, including a kitchen with bamboo cabinets, recycled glass counter tops, a recycled mosaic tile back splash, and green kitchen appliances.

Designed by Libby Langdon, the Living Green exhibit also includes a green living room, bathroom, and laundry room.  If you go, check out the bathroom vanity made from a salvaged dresser, sustainable wood furniture in the living room, and a media cabinet made from a recycled baby changing table.

Although it began in June, the tour continues through October with upcoming stops in Boston, Washington DC, Jacksonville, Atlanta, and NYC.  Here’s more information, photos and the tour schedule for the Better Homes and Gardens Living Green home tour.
