We are all eager to do more to help our planet—and, fortunately, Remodelista had some great green ideas this week for the home front:

1. Natural Decor

3. No-Construction Renovations

You don&#8\2\17;t need to tear it all down and install brand-new everything in order to upgrade unappealing interiors.
