The Many Shades of Green Remodeling
The homeowners requested a green, transitional style remodel of their lower level ¾ bathroom. The vanity features poplar hardwood that was sourced in the US – Midwest and Kentucky and is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified and the MDF (medium-density fiberboard) used for the drawer fronts and cabinet doors was NAUF (No Added Urea Formaldehyde) Certified. The custom, full-overlay European style cabinetry with Shaker style doors were painted white and finished with a charcoal color, hand-applied glaze. The vanity was painted with zero VOC paint. The walls were painted using Sherwin Williams zero VOC "Harmony" paint. The green wall color was inspired by the green recycled glass found in the custom countertops. The countertops are completely customizable. We specified what percentage of each of the available colors of recycled glass we wanted for the tops. We were also able to specify the base color for the vanity top. The eco-friendly flooring and shower walls are made of an innovative concrete overlay product called Granicrete and was installed by Tom Eaton, who owns Granicrete, MN along with his wife Jean.
