    Today I met a new client. She was delightful. She wanted to talk about color and pulling things together in the kitchen. I thought she had a great attitude about her kitchen. She said that she hated to trash her cabinets, because they worked perfectly fine, they were simply out of date. We came up with a color scheme for her kitchen and her cabinets, for which she was going to have painted in a no VOC paint. Then she was going to replace her formica counter top with a concrete and glass counter top from DEX studios. www.dexstudios.com. This company is in Atlanta and can have lots of interesting items integrated into your countertop (grandmas china, champagne glass from a wedding etc). This countertop solution, although slightly pricey, had a great look and seemed quite eco friendly.
    I was very impressed with Theresa and her husband, not only were they intelligent, well spoken and interesting, but they were also considering all of the factors of their simple kitchen remodel.

      It was truly a pleasure to meet with you! Thanks for supporting our intention to redesign as "greenly" as possible. We're really excited about our plans for the kitchen!

      Where are the before and after pictures? I know this is before, but a pic of the kitchen cabinets and counter top would be nice. Then later when the work is done, an after pic could be added.
