This ‘green’ and sustainable kitchen renovation benefited from a team approach.

A complete ‘green’ initial survey was done.

New insulation was added to the basement.

Most of the original cabinetry was re-used. New cabinets and the Walnut island top were built locally from local hardwoods.

The paint is low VOC.

Energy efficient lighting and appliances were installed.

Corner cabinet recycle bins are handy.

The backsplash is Mother of Peal from a sustainable farm raised source applied with nontoxic adhesive.

There are concrete countertops with embedded recycled glass.

A TV armoire holds china.

A separate freezer holds local organic farm raised meats and a fridge local organic produce and dairy.
