    Green gifts from Reed La Plant

    For the eco-conscious couple, a bridal registry is more than a list of possible gifts—it's a way to live and evangelize green in a tasteful way. But you can up that ante—with commissioned furniture by Reed La Plant.

    Reed draws on an art/architecture background to create modern-classic furniture pieces, including sleek benches, stools, beds and tables. All his stunningly simple pieces are as low-impact as possible, made with sustainable, local and reclaimed materials. Even better—his work is very affordable, with custom work starting at around $600. You can also see his line built especially for local eco-star Verde Home. Buy a piece straight up from Verde, or go for the commissioned stuff (either via a registry or not). He'll meet with you to discuss ideas as well as where the piece will sit in your home, create some design options and have a piece for you in as little as a few weeks. (Yes, my jaw dropped, too.)

    So if you want something really cool but are committed to low-impact living, you don't have to settle for department store items. I like how Reed puts it: "I try to be mindful of my impact on society without getting obsessed or preachy."
