Is your counter top merely a functional culinary workbench, or a path to philosophical inquiry?

This week the Sierra Club's Mr. Green tackled one of the knottiest questions of our (well, my) day - the selection of environmentally responsible interior finishes. Sorting through the possibilities is a full time job.

For the Erins, the cottages we're just completing, we chose porcelain tiles. Some have recycled content, some are made domestically, all are long lasting. Those are the qualifications for "green."

They are also beautiful. We selected rich, neutral colors with sophisticated names like Taupe, Green Tea and Seguria, to provide a polished backdrop for any style decor.

Porcelain has always been a favorite of mine. Plus it is an ancient technique which has stood the test of time. I'm looking forward to seeing the actual colors.
