Recycled Floor Mosaic From Leftover Flooring Materials

This kitchen floor pattern was put together with remnant pieces of Marmoleum left over from other projects, all part of an eco-friendly home construction that is being chronicled over at Diary of  a Vermont Eco Builder. 

In keeping with our eco design model, and just for the sheer fun of it, we’ve decided that the kitchen floor will be made up from all the leftover pieces of Marmoleum we’ve saved so far.

The builders mocked up the design on the computer, cut the pieces out according the plan and then had a professional come in and install it.

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.
