Join sassy and smart designer Cheryl Janis — founder of Planet Pink n’ Green — for a furniture showroom visit to decadent EWF Modern in Portland,Oregon. The furniture line–rustic reclaimed wood from Brazilian barns mixed with modern sustainable Mahogany will make you weak in the knees.

Welcome to PlanetPinknGreen where we believe in simple living. But what does that really mean? To us it means using as little as we need and making sure that the things we use are made from what is pure and natural.…

EWF Modern is such a great store, thank you for featuring it so well! I relly enjoyed hearing about the origin of the products it makes the “things” more personal.
Love it! Keep ‘em coming!

I LOVE THAT BED at EWF!!!!! I need your help though….I have a bed thats similar but not as cool. I was thinking of getting a new one only because it seems to be bad Feng Shui. It has corners that often get bumped? Do I need to scrap the bed or is there anything I can do to soften the blow?
Thanks for the run down on EWF….I’ve been cleaning house and moving toward rustic modern and keeping it cool and simple. Keep the info coming!

Cheryl,
The vblog is progressing at a rapid pace. The improvements are momentous and your comfort level is definitely on the increase. Your choice of subject matter, namely the stores where one can purchase these innovative products, is intriguing. I enjoyed learning about the Dumba sheep and exploring EWF’s mix of rustic and contemporary. Your niche in facilitating the storytelling of these products is key to the development of an eco friendly aesthetic and market.

P.S. Dumba sheep? Is that where they get the wool for a gumba’s suit?

Very beautiful episode. I love the bed and the chandelier.
PlanetPinknGreen makes me want to do better and do more: be a better designer, be more eco-concious, and incorporate eco-concious ideas into my work and the rest of my life. Inspiring!

Hi Cheryl,
You posted a neat profile at EcoSector today, and I was so intrigued, I’ve been at your site for an hour… I can’t believe I watched the whole thing! I think the production style was quite fine. You truly showed how much fun this can be.

Cheryl- thanks for bringing attention to Modern Sustainable products. Your vlog on ewf modern is so ultra - hip! I love the pulse of the music and your focus on imagery and sustainable products in EWF’s showroom. Modern and sustainable can look good!

Cheryl, I’m a huge fan and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to collaborate with you. I recently had a chance to share your blog and the vlog with a friend and they kept asking, “So, what channel is this on?” =)
Kudos! You are an inspiration and a true force in the age of “new media”.
