Pure Green the last word

Piper, from One Sydney Road

I live in Cleveland, Ohio with my husband and 2 dogs and I’m in the midst of opening an online boutique, one sydney road, where my mission is to have fresh, beautiful items for your home that aren’t found in every store – mixed in with some cool vintage finds too. Starting online is my way of not only keeping costs down, but hopefully living more green. I adore the look of modern meets vintage – I think homes that combine these together create such cozy and stylish places to live – it makes it much more interesting. Not to mention, who doesn’t love coming across the perfect “find”!

I think my main green living idea is just to try and live simply and within your means. My husband and I have always tried to only purchase things that we need or love – plus it keeps down on clutter! I remember reading somewhere that you should only surround yourself with things you love – and I’ve always thought that was such a great way to live. No sense buying something just because it’s on sale – it should meet the “I love it” test! And I like to think that’s what my store is all about – making everyday feel a bit brighter. Sometimes living simply can be challenging but when you look at it as surrounding yourself with only the things you love – it seems much easier!
