Shopping on Etsy for Non-Toxic Furniture
I’m in the market for a non-toxic footstool for my husband. Since it’s not for a main room of our house, I’m not looking for investment-quality furniture but I would like it to look nice and be built to last. I thought it might be interesting to show the steps I take and thought- process I go through before I buy a new product for my home. I’m searching on Etsy, one of my favorite sources for non-toxic furnishings.
Yes There IS a Toxic-Free Sofa
A few weeks ago one of my clients asked me if there was such a thing as a leather sofa without toxic chemicals. She knew leather sofas are usually filled with toxic polyurethane foam and fire retardant chemicals, plus there are more chemicals used to tan the leather.
Furnishing a Toxic-Free Apartment
For the past few weeks a lot of my time has been occupied with helping a consulting client furnish a nontoxic apartment for her son, who has multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS). She asked me to help her choose furniture, bedding, and air and water filters. I gave her some choices, and she chose the ones she wanted.
