Choosing the right paint color for the outside or inside of your house can be very confusing, especially when faced with a wall of paint chips. Look no further than the environment around your house for the perfect color; choose leaves, flowers, stones and even fallen feathers for color inspiration. Bring your favorite to the paint store and have them color-match it and paint away. What looks great in nature will look fabulous inside or outside your home.

Many people are kicking their disposable water bottle habit by using a reusable bottle instead. Why not extend your green hydration efforts by investing in reusable coffee cups, too? There are many reusable ones coming to the market that are just like the throwaway cups we use now, but are made with durable, dishwasher-safe materials. Starbucks will even give you a discount if you bring in your own reusable mug, too.

When it's time to replace your shower curtain, save the old one and use it around the house. The waterproof liner works great as a drop cloth when you're painting around the house or as protection for outdoor plants in the cold winter months. And when you do replace your shower curtain, be sure to look for one that is free of polyvinyl chloride. PVC releases chemicals into the air and is very difficult to recycle. A good option is nylon, which is waterproof and does not need a liner.
