"Shopping for home products that are pretty inside and out is easier than it ever has been. Here&amp;#039;s a small sampling of furnishings and accessories that are as easy on the Earth as they are on the eyes. When I first started writing about green design several years, pulling together a page of attractive, eco-friendly products wasn&amp;#039;t simple. Most of the options on the market looked green: The recycled glassware was often lumpy and misshapen, the coasters made from old CDs looked like, well, coasters made from old CDs. There&amp;#039;s still a lot of that out there, and I do get that sometimes the beauty lies in experiencing a product as it is now and as it once was. But when it comes right down to it I&amp;#039;d much rather decorate my own home with things that manage to combine elegance and environmental responsibility\u2014in other words, furnishings and accessories that you&amp;#039;d never suspect have a hidden, inner beauty. Happily, today, finding &amp;quot;stealth green&amp;quot; home goods is easy. Here&amp;#039;s what I mean:   1. Plinko pillows (shown in cornflower and grass), $60 each for 18&amp;quot;x18&amp;quot; size, are made from handmade in the USA from sustainable recycled polyester, and handprinted environmentally-friendly inks with no chemical waste or disposal generated. Inhabit. 2. Rustic but not too rustic, the Calypso Large Turquoise Bowl, $43 , is hand-crafted of recycled glass. Crate &amp;amp;amp; Barrel. 3. The Gourd table lamp, $149, has a hand-blown recycled glass base and a linen shade. West Elm. 4. Hand-blown in Europe from 100% post-consumer recycled glass, Milano goblets, $36 for 4, have a sophisticated silhouette\u2014and they&amp;#039;re lead-free and dishwasher safe. TryCycle. 5. Contemporary and comfy, the Cielo chaise, $799, has a certified sustainable, kiln-dried hardwood frame, and seat cushions made from multilayer soy-based polyfoam encased in down/feather wrap. CB2. 6. Reclaimed-teak planks atop an acacia wood base give the Montebello Reclaimed-Wood Pedestal Table, $1,499, a rich patina. Pottery Barn. 7. The reversible indoor-outdoor Recycled Morocco Rug, $42 for 4&amp;#039;x6&amp;#039; size, is made from recycled plastic bottles and packing materials. Its tubular threads absorb no stains, can easily be cleaned with garden hose or sponge, and won&amp;#039;t trap water or mildew. VivaTerra. 8. Made of certified organic cotton and dyed with a natural indigo-based botanical dye, Organic Shibori Dots Dinner Napkins, $48 for 4, are stitched in a fair trade workshop in Bali. Eden Home. 9. Rustic wood and industrial-style metal gives the Recycled Pine Wood Console, $999, an unexpected edge. Wisteria. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
