Green home decor: recycled picture frames

recycled bicycle chain photo frame

Here’s a truly creative idea to add to your green home decor, and I bet you’ve never seen one before. It’s a picture frame made from recycled bicycle chains. These recycled picture frames make good use of something otherwise likely to end up in a landfill. They’re available in 4×6 and 5×7 sizes and the pictures are held in by recycled bicycle wheel spokes. These environmentally friendly picture frames are made by Resource Revival, a company that makes useful green home products from bicycles.

The 4×6 and 5×7 recycled photo frames come in sets of two and retail for $55 and $73 respectively. They’re available at Green Home environmental store. What a conversation piece!

Bamboo room divider

Here’s an environmentally-friendly product for creating a cozy area in your green home. This bamboo room divider is made of pesticide-free bamboo stalks. It rolls up, and is flexible so you can position it in nearly any shape. You could use this green home accessory for hiding an unsightly computer area, creating a cozy corner for reading, or as a backdrop for large potted plants.

This bamboo screen is pesticide free and it is treated with a non-toxic water repellent. Not sure if I would try this with your green landscaping- it’s rated for indoor use only. I found this green living idea at Real Goods.
