Natural Home would like to give special thanks to Viva Terra for donating a huge quantity of beautiful, reclaimed and eco-friendly items to our Magazine Holiday Design Showcase. Natural Home has worked with Viva Terra and featured a number of the company’s fantastic home décor products before, so when we received the honor of participating in the State Department’s showcase, we knew immediately who to call.

Our belief is that an eco-friendly home is healthier and happier for the inhabitants and the planet—Viva Terra proves that it is also a more beautiful home aesthetically and ethically.
Some of the featured items included Oil Drum Angels, made by Haitian artisans out of empty oil drums that washed up on shore after World War II; Temple Bells made with 100 percent reclaimed brass-plated steel; the 100 percent organic, wild-harvested Festive Holiday Centerpiece made with cedar, achillea, flax and hydrangeas; gorgeous Birch Bark Trees; and Seeds of Joy wreaths made with eucalyptus, fir and salal, all certified organic and wild harvested. Natural Home decorated the Blair House’s customary 9-foot Christmas Tree, visible to passers-by on Pennsylvania Avenue, with hundreds of Viva Terra’s Quartz Crystal Ornaments and LED lights from Bulbrite.
