Why? I hear you cry. I thought you were talking about the kitchen.
As Ron always says, one project begets another project. As long as we are doing the kitchen floor over, we might as well take it through the hallway. And, won't this look better if we move this wall over here?
I'm sure others have been through this. And, if anyone out there reading this wants to post their own story - just let me know. We have room here for your tales as well.

Consequently the counter will be made with recycled glass. This was after reviewing our many options from cement to granite and all in between --
I was both enamored with both being ecological and stylish. So I decided on a product produced with recycled glass. And, so, my counter will be made of green float glass used in construction, plus oyster shells from the South Carolina Coast and bits of marble from the Historic Georgia Marble Quarry. We got it from a company called Vetrazzo. Here's a picture -

The green countertops are thankfully becoming an alternative to natural resources or mass chemically made options. I think this is a beautiful option and I cannot wait to see the other color/material choices you have going along with it.
