Correction
The GreenHome special section misidentified the countertops in the Reagan Green Built green kitchen. The kitchen had marmoleum tops, a natural product made of linseed oil and backed with jute. The island bar top was made of ground recycled industrial glass and concrete. Learn more about this kitchen at www.reagangreenbuilt.com. Midwest Home regrets the error.
