Eco-friendly Options in Terrazzo

There are a few reasons why I think Enviroglas is a great option for your bathroom or kitchen. I mean, it's ecologically sound, and a great option for recycling glass. They've made terrazzo highly affordable here, and that's always a perk. But in all honesty, it's just cool. I'm a personal lover of innovation and mixing being green with unique decor just makes me fell all warm and fuzzy inside.

And let's be honest, here, you have the option of bespeckling your countertops with glow in the dark aggregate. That's pretty epic.

Just bear in mind the importance of having clean terrazzo. I would suggest having it sealed for sure (naturally in the kitchen the stone will get wet. You dont want water damage). And keeping it free of food and such. Salt will wear down finish, among other things. A clean kitchen is a clean mind, anyway, right?

So if you're looking to incorporate recycled products into the building of your home, here ya go, folks. Remember that many natural stone products can be eco-friendly-- just in terms of care. Many don't require harmful chemicals to be properly taken care of.

How we live is a choice we make

"A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it." -George Moore

I find this quote to be really moving for a couple reasons. Sure, it's comforting to think about home as the place where we find happiness. But the reality is that we create that happiness for ourselves through the home. I don't think the home includes only the furniture and belongings we accumulate throughout our lives. It obviously includes the other people who live there, that we care about. But how we choose to present ourselves through our home, and ultimately how we live our lives through our home is very important. It's not just about things, it's about living consciously. That could mean creating space that functions more harmoniously for your children, or living green. All of these are choices we make.

I think what George is trying to say here is that we go looking for the answers everywhere else, and we have to find them within ourselves.

So what am I talking about, pray tell? I'm talking about finding solutions for your home and life that will allow you to find sanctuary in your own space. Sure, that could mean I'm going to give you the low-down on lighting options for your home. Or the best tips for cleaning marble floors. But I'm also going to talk about how you can strengthen family bonds through a family game night or give you recipes that help you to live life a bit healthier. Your home is your life, and you cant just focus on one aspect of it. You have to look at the big picture.

I hope to shed some insight, and I hope your journey to conscious living is an enjoyable one :)
