Earlier this spring we decided that our bright coral walls in the office were a bit much for us day in and day out. I get tired of things incredibly fast in my environments, and felt that it was time to go lighter and more neutral since we spend all day looking at color and pattern.  So we painted the walls Farrow & Ball’s Pointing (using their primer first since the pink was quite hard to cover) and then partnered with Pottery Barn to style up the space. And here it is, as featured on Pottery Barn’s blog (hop over there for some home office styling tips from me). We’re not quite done yet (we have some old wingbacks being re-upholstered and a few more things to do but here’s a little peek). This silver tray provides ample space to organize samples for a project and move from desk to desk. Here are the items we used in the space- all of which would work great in a home office too! For a similr rug try searching for “Heriz Rug”on eBay and Etsy- like this one!

Office Photos by Sarah Winchester Studios.I walked in to Goodwill, strolled down the far left side. My usual route, first I check out the wall of dishes, glassware, and then I take a right turn and scan the furniture.  I see her sitting there. No one around, run, walk fast over to her. My mind racing, I head back up front to get a shopping cart. All the time panicked that I won’t make it back before someone scoops her up. $12.99, but I really don’t need a desk chair. I just bought one at Office Max, for my kitchen desk. I put her my cart anyway. I walked around thinking about the ones that I saw in Pottery Barn for $269-$399: Oh what the heck, I’m getting her. I used the Annie Sloan Old White Chalk paint and distressed her a little: She functions perfectly, and she’s all freshened up with the white paint. I’m so glad I was a big spender and rescued this $12.99 beauty! What do you think about the little lady now? Molly Strong Market MondayInvite your friends to like this Page

This is a big victory as Ashley is the largest manufacturer and retailer of furniture in the country.

This will have a huge impact in driving the furniture sector away from these harmful chemicals. The story broke in a terrific Chicago Tribune last Friday, after Ashley sent us this updated statement last week: “Ashley’s upholstered furniture is designed and labeled to comply with California’s TB 117-2013, and we are committed to designing our upholstered furniture with the goal of meeting the requirements of TB-117-2013 without the use of flame retardant chemicals.  To that end, Ashley is pleased to announce that after working closely with our supply chain, upholstered furniture manufactured by or for us as of January 1, 2015, does not use flame retardant chemicals.    In addition, all our upholstered furniture, no matter where it is shipped in the US, includes a label that complies with the requirements of California’s SB-1019.” The company has told us this policy applies to all of their furniture, where flame retardants are also sometimes lurking. We first wrote to Ashley back in November.

In January the Chicago Tribune revealed that Ashley was taking action on flame retardants, but wouldn’t say by when. So our coalition generated thousands of e-mails from concerned families coast to coast urging them to adopt a public timeframe for eliminating these unnecessary harmful chemicals. We applaud Ashley for doing what’s right for the health of our families and homes. Ashley Furniture is not only the largest manufacturer and retailer of furniture here in the US, but one of the biggest globally as well. They are a top-selling furniture store brand to retail partners in over 120 countries worldwide, and licenses its name to some 500 Ashley Furniture HomeStores. In 2013, the company reported a whopping $3.85 billion in sales (!). See what this expert had to recently say about the impact their actions will have: “Bob Luedeka, executive director of the Polyurethane Foam Association, said that if industry leader Ashley follows other companies and stops using flame retardants, the chemicals ‘could be a thing of the past in residential furniture.’”

What’s perhaps even more exciting is that Ashley is not alone.  This is a growing trend among the furniture retail sector as many other furniture retailers are also taking action on toxic flame retardants, which I’ve blogged about before. In January the Chicago Tribune reported that: “ Crate and Barrel, Room & Board, and Williams-Sonoma (Pottery Barn, West Elm) all say they have mostly eliminated the chemicals from their products. IKEA, La-Z-Boy, The Futon Shop, Scandinavian Designs and Wal-Mart also said they have told vendors to stop adding flame retardants to furniture.” Since the January Tribune story, Ethan Allen, Restoration Hardware, and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams have all said their furniture is also now free of toxic flame retardant chemicals. They are also big market players. Restoration Hardware is the #13 largest furniture store in the US, with furniture sales of $890 million in 2012. And they are growing – their sales grew by 29% between 2011 and 2012.

Ethan Allen is the #15 largest furniture store in the US, with furniture sales of $703.9 million in 2012. Those two retailers alone have combined furniture sales of over $1.5 billion. Big office furniture purchasers, like Facebook, Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health, and Staples, have also signed a pledge to buy office furniture without toxic flame retardants. This comes at a time when states are taking action on these same chemicals, in the absence of real federal chemical reform. Just last week legislation to restrict toxic flame retardants and get us off the toxic treadmill passed the Washington State House. So far, three big retailers have been surprisingly silent about their policies related to flame retardant chemicals: Target, Costco and Macy’s. They are also major retailers of furniture, the fifth, sixth and eighth largest nationwide respectively. If Ashley and other furniture retailers can do it, Target, Costco and Macy’s can and should as well. We are hopeful these and other big retailers of furniture will join this growing trend in driving the transition away from these polluting chemicals in furniture and other products.
