Danny Seo recently shared a wonderful tip
on his blog to keep water from rushing out of your gutters too quickly, and I had to share. "Just connect a chain to the downspout of your gutters and let the rain slowly and gently trickle all the way down the chain," he says. The softening rain chain creates a beautiful sound when the rain dances down the chain, adding a sweet musical element to your home.

One of my favorite eco designers, Danny Seo, is redesigning actress
Kerry Washington's LA apartment. Recently, he shared some of his inspirations for the planned redesign of the narrow outdoor spaces at her home. Where did he find these inspirations.

In my
recent Casa Verde, I told you about Danny Seo's eco makeover of Maria Menounos' backyard, and showed you a few products to help you get the look in your outdoor space. Well, lucky you, the
JCPenney Capiz Shell Candleholder ($19-$24) that Seo used, which is made of natural capiz shells harvested from the waters of the Philippines, is on sale. It does look fab outdoors on
Menounos' farmhouse table, but there's no reason why you can't enjoy one inside as well.

In collaboration with JCPenney, Danny Seo
recently gave Maria Menounos' backyard an eco makeover for "Access Green" on Access Hollywood and Life & Style. This beautiful image is a peek at the made-over farmhouse table, which was updated with some wildflowers in a galvanized bucket, vintage silverware, some simple white dishes and glass water bottles, colorful tumblers filled with organic lemonade, a bowl of gorgeous green limes, and an understated yet chic capiz lantern. There's nothing fancy or unattainable about this table setting, but it's still completely and utterly glamorous.

Eco stylist Danny Seo recently sent a scratched up ol' table of his to rehab by topping it with strips of
iron-on wood veneer edging ($5.79). Seo says it was really easy to do, and only requires "the veneer tape, a hot iron, a trimmer, and an old table that needs just a bit of TLC."
To see the table after Seo worked his magic, read more.

Seo's post for details about the project and to learn how to do it yourself. I'm already
