Cool Idea: Living Wall Systems
To kick off Earth Day here on Casa, I thought I'd show you a very cool way to bring a little green into a cramped-for-space home or garden. The ELT Easy Green Living Wall ($39 - $249) is a modular-living wall panel that you can buy pregrown or that you can plant on your own. Made of 100-percent recyclable plastic, it is environmentally friendly, not to mention aesthetically pleasing.

Nice and New: Fresh Finds at Ferm Living
One of my favorite wallpaper retailers, Ferm Living, has a few new things in store that I'm really loving.

Power Pole Wall Decals: Geekish or Freakish?
The geeky wall decals I've seen in the past have been cute, but the subjects (Space Invaders and Super Mario Bros.) seemed more appropriate for application in a kid's room.
Here, though, are some wall decals that feature a modern symbol of technology — the power pole — which come off looking starkly chic. From Ferm Living, these Power Pole Wall Decals (click through to the wall stickers section) would certainly make you feel like you're living in a technological wonderland — but would you want that right in your living room?
