The four-poster bed, which carpenter David Brown crafted from old doors purchased at Habitat for Humanity, is set on wheels for ease of cleaning.

The Master Bedroom features its own wall-mounted Viera 50-inch HD LCD Energy Star-rated television. A parson’s table receives an eco update with a covering of raffia.

Luxurious and earth-friendly, the four-poster bed is dressed in a collection of mod pillows, including cotton shag throws fashioned from garment industry remnants and 250-thread-count organic cotton sateen sheets, block-printed by hand.
An eye-popping duvet folded at the bed’s edge is within easy reach should an evening turn chilly.
A nautical-style bulkhead light, centered over the bed head, stands in as a reading light. The quiet style keeps all eyes focused on the dramatic furnishing.
Recycled tin drum pendants, handmade and hand-painted by artisans in Mexico, replace conventional reading lamps. “This room is a little more whimsical than the rest of the house,” says interior designer Linda Woodrum when discussing the lighting choice.
The pendants’ recycled mouth-blown glass finials add a hint of sparkle and serve as a foil for more traditional room features.
A full-length floor mirror reflects sunlight in the bedroom. The antique-style, glass-tile design is reminiscent of vintage mosaic.
Shaggy carpet in a patriotic blue hue softens every footstep. The bound carpeting includes 25 percent post-consumer recycled content.
The only space in the home to feature drapery, the Master Bedroom boasts its own small storage closet.
