Furnishing a new home or refreshing an existing one is fun, and can be the perfect canvas to showcase your eco-chic sensibilities. B. Pila Design Studio in Coconut Grove recycles furniture frames and creatively completes them with hand-woven tapestries created by mother/daughter teams in Uzbekistan. For each item purchased, a donation is made to the KIVA Foundation. For your walls, choose a Cassandra Tondro modern abstract piece, created from leftover house paint she “rescues” from recycling centers; or the Urbio Vertical Garden, a contemporary wall system of plates and planters. The Garden lets homeowners bring nature to small spaces and grow herbs, vines or flowering plants right on your wall; BPilaDesign.com.
