And now for something completely different…
Posted by goodlinesdecor in 2012, Articles on February 14th, 2012
I discovered that I’m a decompinaut.
I’ve been searching for a way to make use of discarded textile waste in a way that does not release toxins (from dyes, flame retardants, residual pesticides and so forth) back into our food chain. Why do I care? Because even while my business re-uses cotton by turning it into [...]
Green Design February Tip of the Month
Posted by goodlinesdecor in 2012, Interior Decorating on February 3rd, 2012
Looking to spice up your walls?
Here’s an earth-friendly, DIY idea:
Take a look in your drawers and closets for some of the funky (but not valuable!) things you’ve collected: lost mitts, odd shaped stones, pretty buttons, dried out tea bags (yes, you heard me)…
Find a scrap board slightly smaller than the [...]
Eco-Decorating: In with the New
Posted by goodlinesdecor in 2012, Interior Decorating on February 2nd, 2012
(or should I say, in with the re-purposed and new-to-me?)
I promised to show you photos of my completed project last week. I didn’t get it done. Typical of my process. I began this project 32 days ago with a claustrophobic, stress inducing mess. Forty hours and one-hundred and fifty dollars later I have a peaceful, [...]

An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!
Excerpt from Robert Burns, To a Mouse, On turning her up in her nest, with the plough, November, 1785
Might I not gnash my teeth as I cast my eyes upon my office and yoga room, finding [...]
Renewal: Eco-Spicy Cleaning, Fixing, Organizing
Posted by goodlinesdecor in 2012, Interior Decorating on January 11th, 2012
This is second of my three part series about my intentions to create a multipurpose room that works as a peaceful office, meditation and yoga space.
Let’s Start with Fixing
Saying I need to fix stuff in my office/yoga space creates an image of broken stuff all over the place. That’s not the case. But my intentions [...]
Taking Stock: Out with the Old
Posted by goodlinesdecor in 2011, Interior Decorating, Organization on January 2nd, 2012
This is the first in a three week series that leads you through my real life (and somewhat embarrassing) example of how to create a functional and beautiful multi-use room in your home. Multi-use rooms are great for optimizing the space in a small home, when well planned and executed. You may find this short [...]
Celebration, Inspiration, Creation
Posted by goodlinesdecor in 2011, Articles on December 22nd, 2011
I seem to be sleeping soundly lately, and that is bringing on some pretty powerful dreams. More about that later.
These satisfying slumbers I attribute to the nights getting longer and longer.
Tonight we’ll be in darkness almost 16 and a half hours! But that is the end of
that trend until next December.
I am celebrating the winter [...]
