We are so pleased to announce our latest go-green project in our own home in Austin, TX ... new bathroom counters made from recycled beer bottles! I must add that this works in nicely with our lifestyle in more than one way.

We took a 1980's type bathroom bathroom counters before

and put in our cool new Granite Transformations counter ... it is a granite composit, only about a 1/4" thick made from recycled granite and, our particular choice, recycled beer bottles!

And a close-up ... they're actually quite beautiful ... and there is one bright green chip of a Heineken bottle in the mix ...

Ok, the beer got my attention. Can you ship to Hawaii?

Thanks for the compelling headline and the new insight into beer drinking and countertop beauty.

Hi Julie,

What a great way to let us know about a company that uses recycled glass for building products. I'm wondering if I can get my husband to divert some of his energy from beer brewing to beer redecorating (MY downstairs bathroom). Hmmmmm

Julie, very cool (in regards to both looks and concept). I am going to check them out as I have 1980's bathrooms in need of renovations as well.
