Our HGTV Experience

“How much do I love my kitchen? I don’t think I have the words, yet!”, homeowner, Teri Graham, shared with us all on HGTV's Bang for Your Buck, last week. As many of you may know Glass Recycled had another opportunity to make an appearance on HGTV. The Graham family created a "green kitchen" and had a awesome island- if I must say so myself.

The bright colors and recycled products filled their kitchen with a fresh and energetic look. The founder and owner of Glass Recycled said, "I want people to have the choice and not limit them..." when referring  to the Graham island. The orange "green" kitchen made a statement in not only their home, but the whole Bang for Your Buck episode. "I Googled "recycled" glass and when I saw that I could create my own sample online thro' Glass Recycled, I was excited by the possibilities. I worried tho' that I wasn't going to get it right & but, after talking to [the founder and owner], I realized it would be a fun process... and we came to our final mix after three samples."

Focusing on Texas' creative roots the founder and owner looks at his products as "artwork on a counter..." and therefore easily said that the process of creating your dream counter top is as easy as taking a, "Coloring book and a box of crayons with 64 colors and letting the customer make a combination that fits you, and that makes Glass Recycled unique."

 With GlassSLAB island being the focal point of the kitchen the Graham's have made quite the statement. "We came to choose Glass Recycled in many ways. My husband and I could not agree on any one kind of counter surface after looking for several months and then having our contractor bring us samples. We were looking for a statement piece; the island would be our main gathering place and visible throughout the great room. Also, we were looking for something that could be considered "retro" but still very modern." This is when Glass Recycled stepped in and made their kitchen stand out from the "average Joe" kitchen. "Almost everyday we can look at it and find some new piece of glass or aspect of it that seems "new". All of our guests comment on it and we are very happy to have something that literally no one else will ever have, due to its dynamic nature.We will likely put a piece in our Master Bathroom..."

What other kind of manufactures let you have that much fun  with your purchases and design?

"Our HGTV experience was phenomenal! Every person we came into contact with at High Noon was professional, friendly and efficient. Ultimately, the crew was so talented - and very funny as people.", Graham said.
