Thomas Troisch cobbles together reclaimed materials and colorful seaglass to make these unique chandeliers. “After having stared at one too many $1,295 rental apartment excuses for a ceiling light, I decided to create something different,” he wrote to us. “Rooted in the opulence of old-world design, the strict use of reclaimed materials and hardware embodies the essence of recycling and sustainability.” In addition to the glittering sea glass, Troisch also uses seasoned driftwood and salt-corroded metals to create his one-of-a-kind lights.

An old, vintage bike becomes something to primp over in this design that turned a forgotten two-wheeler into a beautifully hand-crafted vanity and sink. Created by New Orleans-based crafter and decorator Benjamin Bullins, this bike sink is super clever and a great piece of decor for those who love cycling.

If you’re looking to revamp your home’s flooring, then Indo Teak’s sustainable flooring is a great green option. The eco-conscious company sources its reclaimed teak for flooring, beams, lumber and decks from salvage sites across Indonesia. All of their products are FSC certified, and a portion of the proceeds from their sales go to provide assistance to communities across Indonesia, helping with nutrition, sanitation and health care issues.
