Concrete Countertops

If at the word concrete you think drab grey slabs and 70s architecture, you are in for a surprise...

countertop concrete

I was looking for information about custom concrete countertops and I found beautiful ideas that I wanted share here, let me know if you like them.








A 1.5" concrete countertop weighs approximately 19 lbs. per square foot.  As a comparison, granite is approximately 18 lbs. per square foot.

custom+concrete+countertop
Some of the benefits include:
  • heat resistant(not heat proof)
  • stain resistant(not stain proof)
  • impact tolerant
  • natural looking
  • eco-friendly
  • durable
  • moldable
  • available in an unlimited color palette
  • many varied textures and finishing effects
  • unlimited styling and design options

Concrete can be earthy and natural, with a tactile quality not found in synthetic or stainless-steel surfaces. Because each concrete countertop is hand-cast, it exhibits subtle variations in color and texture. Concrete countertops can also be adorned with botanical imprints from real leaves or embedded with colorful stones, seashells and even fossils.

 I would love a concrete desk just like this one, amazing!!!

I have to say that concrete countertops look amazing but in a outdoor kitchen is even better!!!

Google's Project Glass

After a few months of speculation, Google revealed some information about the project that will make Google Goggles and other mobile apps more useful. Instead of using a smartphone to find information about an object, translate a text, get directions, compare prices, you can use some smart glasses that augment the reality and help you understand more about that things around you.



google project glass
 
The prototype version Google showed off on Wednesday looked like a very polished and well-designed pair of wrap-around glasses with a clear display that sits above the eye. The glasses can stream information to the lenses and allow the wearer to send and receive messages through voice commands. There is also a built-in camera to record video and take pictures.
The glasses are not yet for sale. Google will, however, be testing them in public.
