 The project below started when I got this rendering with scribbled measurements on it. This is for you Architects and Designers...I then get asked..."Hey Gene!, Can you build this"?   (I gulped twice and said Yes)

 
 


Yes, of course we were nervous building this..but when we were done, everyone was happy that it matched the picture.
I even seemed to impress myself on that one..LOL

Thinking about Bamboo Countertops ?
  

Now this was a fun and interesting project for the Little Miss Taylor's bathroom vanity in the same house.. I suggested they collect some seashells, because the kids bathroom was to have an ocean theme..
The Sky Glass top was chosen because of its Blue color...but we couldn't stop there...I put Little Miss taylor to work with safety glasses and gloves to help make her bathroom vanity top a masterpiece.
 
  
  
I cant wait until she gets old enough to work full-time for me...         
Mom was on-site to take pics of the exciting work
 
The Seashell crunch was also mixed with Glow-in the Dark particulates and various mirror chips we use on other projects... I then sanded to Hi-polish perfection

 
 Well what do you think? Pretty Neat huh?
  
 Lights on...                                                    Lights off...
