Need a new mailbox? After last week’s post about how to reduce junk mail, these recycled mailboxes made from street signs are just irresistible, although a bit pricey. They’re individually hand-crafted by artist Boris Baley who actually crafts many recycled household products from street and transit signs, including tables, coasters, switch plate covers, side chairs, and serving platters.

Here are the side chairs.  What a modern twist on green home decor!  If you’ve ever picked up a street sign, you know how heavy and strong these chairs have to be.

I think these recycled switch plate covers would be great for a green bedroom for a child, especially one with a race car or train theme.  At $39.99, the switch covers are a bit more affordable than the other items too. All of these Boris Baley items are available at Green and More.

Is it environmentally friendly furniture or is it art? Perhaps both. This custom-made rocking chair is made from surplus stock of car seat belts, and certified sustainable wood . Clean lines and simple design give this sustainable wood furniture a look that would complement nearly any green home decor.

Made by Atmos, the rocking chair is available in three wood finishes including oak, ebony, and mahogany. You can also choose the color of the seatbelt straps which are stretched across the frame of this rocking chair like webbing.  Color choices include red, tan, silver, black, and olive. Atmos makes other styles of sustainable wood furniture including arm chairs and side chairs.   I found this eco-friendly chair at Green and More.
