I'll Counter You

Honestly, the best counter tops I have ever seen are the mosaic looking recycled glass ones we tipped. 

One day I would love to really do it right, not sacrificing on anything and building uber-green from the ground up.  But with renovation projects, it is a bit harder as you need to have new things meet your old peculiarities. My Bozeman house was built in 1908... so what I gain in character I lose in energy efficiencies and ease of renovation.

Luckily on the energy efficiency front I am able to get it re-insulated (doing the blow-in type I think), and also going to apply for a grant to do a solar panel installation.

But counter tops. Just don't know. What was your favorite type of eco tops? What style would go with a cottage-y house?

Off to see when that insulation guy can came out... oh Dad! where art thou? Jen

Correction from Toshio:

The price we listed for the IceStone counters is incorrect. The cost is actually less than we published, so rejoice! The correct pricing is $75-$150/sq ft installed.
