E’s Green Home Picks: Outdoor Living

Sitting Pretty

The Edmond Outdoor Chair ($899) from Thrive Home Furnishings is part of a stylish midcentury modern collection that relies on equal parts eco-friendly manufacturing and comfort. Made of an element-resisting stainless steel frame and Sunbrella fabric in cheery green, the chairs (like all the company’s furniture) are made in L.A. Thrive also offers a 365-day return policy and pays return shipping.

Flip Flops Reborn

When all those summer flip flops are stamped out by machines, there are a lot of rubber remnants left behind. Flip Flop Door Mats from Vivaterra ($29-$95) turn those remnants into multicolored, super-hardy doormats that are virtually indestructible.
