You know that outdoor air is polluted, but did you know that indoor air is three times more polluted than outdoor air? The EPA deemed indoor household air to be one of the top 5 hazards to human health. Conventional finishes and paints are among the leading causes, because they release low level toxic emissions into the air continuously, for years after their application.  Beware of any product containing ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, heavy metals, or methylene chloride.

A variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were essential to the performance of paint, until recently. Now the technology has improved, and non-toxic alternatives are available.

You’ll feel like a Raja in this meditation chair. This one also provides the perfect place to practice the art of baby massage, on or between your outstretched legs. Several other uses for this comfortable extended throne come to mind, but you’ll have to use your own imagination. If you have a baby, you must have figured it out at some point (wink).

Responsible use of forest products and finishes for woods is advocated by “Harmony In Design” . Towards this goal, they have created an entirely new line of meditation products made out of Mango wood and other sustainable resources. After 20 years the mango tree stops bearing fruit, and can then be harvested for timber. Since mango trees can be plantation grown, they prevent the clear cut practice that is damaging rain forests. Multiple uses of the Mango tree, make it a win win crop, providing the delicious and nutritious mango fruit that so many enjoy.

Look at the beautiful rose carved into the wood. The Raja boasts elegant craftsmanship from every angle, and yet has a tastefully rustic quality that makes it easy to incorporate into your room decor.

There is only one certified organic baby hammock you can buy, the Kanoe baby hammock . Its superior materials, versatility, and contemporary design set it apart.  From birth to about two years of age, the unique canoe shape safely cradles and comforts your baby.  The hammock bounces and sways, mimicking the sensation of being held and rocked by a parent. A specialized weight-calibrated hanging assembly enables this motion.  When bounced and rocked by hand, the Kanoe is especially effective at soothing and calming restless babies. The Kanoes are constructed from the finest quality certified organic cotton canvas,  and dyed with low impact, non toxic dyes. KANOE LLC is committed to providing the safest product to nurture your child. To accommodate different ceiling heights, all the Kanoe’s straps are adjustable. The adjustable straps also allow you to set the hammock at a tilt for babies with colic or reflux.

These straps attach to the bottom ring of the specialized spring assembly, which then attaches to an eye lag. The eye lag can be screwed into any solid structure, such as a beam, ceiling joist, or tree limb, allowing for a wide range of motion. The Kanoe hammock can be moved to anywhere around the home; just unhook the hammock from one eye lag, and then hook it to another. The more eye lags you install, the more places you can hang the hammock. The Kanoe is easy and quick to transport. It rolls up into a beautiful bag made of the same organic cotton canvas fabric. The Kanoe comes with 2 eye lags for ceiling mount, a carrying bag, the instructions, and its strap/spreader bar assembly, custom spring calibrated for infants up to 35 pounds.

This solid-wood platform bed is simple yet stylish,  made of sustainably grown, premium, southern yellow pine, grown and manufactured in the USA. The platform bed sits 15″ high off the floor, providing 10 1/2″ of space beneath for storage and for ventilation. Feng Shui principles recommend allowing free space beneath your bed to allow chi to circulate. This bed is perfect for a single mattress or futon. The unfinished solid wood is safe because there are no toxic chemicals emitted. Leave the bed unfinished, or you can easily add a non toxic finish or stain to match any decor. The bed comes in 2 compact boxes for easy transportation and ready-to-assemble (which makes finishing very simple). As allen wrenches are included, there are no tools required for you to have . If you want underbed drawers, they are sold separately (shown below).

If you think that safe, eco-friendly wood furniture is to be taken for granted, think again! Most wood furniture companies do not use wood from sustainably managed forests and plantations, and then they make it even worse by preserving it or constructing it with toxic adhesives and carcinogenic chemicals like formaldehyde that invade your body with toxic emissions. They then add insult to injury by adding poisonous paint and stains. When you find a company like Room Doctor, take advantage of their ethical standards and protect your family with Room Doctor unfinished solid wood furniture.

Do you need a place to focus on one experience at a time, to truly savor the flavor and texture and temperature of life, and help you to be fully present and in the “now”? Do you simply have great taste in decor, and hold Japanese traditional home design in high esteem ?

Harmony In Design has done it again!  They’ve brought us just the right furniture piece to complete our room design, and they’ve done it the eco friendly way. Their new Tea Table is made from the same sustainable Mango wood as the Raj meditation chair (shown in the previous post).  The petite size and shape of the traditional tea table allow it to be versatile enough for a variety of functions. When not using it for a tea ritual, it can be used as an end table, or coffee table. The traditional round Zafu cushions store neatly under the table when not in use. This is a great help in saving space and in keeping the cushions clean. The table is available in 2 non-toxic waterbase finishes (Natural and Espresso) and the cushions are available with 2 different washable covers (Cream and Mocha). For descriptions of the pillow materials, see the post below this one.

You can feel good about Mango wood products.  The mango tree stops bearing fruit after 20 years, and is then a good source of  timber. Plantation grown mango trees are a responsible alternative to damaging  rain forests. By eating the delicious and nutritious mango fruit and then building from the warm and beautiful mango wood, we do not waste any part of the tree before replanting.

The masterful craftsmanship of this elegant and understated table is truly harmonious. By choosing a round table, you also protect your shins from getting bruised and allow the room’s Chi to circulate gently. You will feel well in a room with such mindfully designed furniture; they help you to reach a state of no mind.

The KidKraft Boat Bed is just what you need to make your toddler think that going to bed is fun!

Who wouldn’t want to drift off to sleep floating over imaginary seas? This bed has decorative rails to keep toddlers from rolling off in their sleep, but the bed is low enough for them to climb in and out by them selves. This is a good transitional bed for little tikes who have out grown their cribs, but need an incentive to stay in their own bed instead of hiding in yours. Since their bed is much more glamorous, they’ll be proud to sleep in it. They can make believe they are sailing, fishing, scuba diving, and having adventures with pirates.

The rubber wood construction makes use of agriculturally grown trees that would have been destroyed after their latex production season anyway, so by using rubber-wood, you spare the ecosystem from deforestation. This wood should be kept indoors, and never put in real water, but it sure is fun pretending to be out on the high seas, or gently rocking in the marina. String colored lights for the marina effect, or play soothing recordings of waves and hump back whale songs for ambiance. Sea Shanties make good lullaby.

The bed has a convenient storage compartment, fits most crib mattresses (not included), and measures:

72.5″ x 32″ x 20.25″
