We wanted to let everyone know that there are so many interesting things to do with concrete!
Jen fell in love with concrete when she went to Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2002. Wood is actually very expensive in Brazil, so most houses/buildings in Brazil are made out of concrete. The square, modern shapes of the houses there are very striking. Santorini, Greece is another amazing place with concrete houses on the cliffs, painted white to reflect the sun. Architecturally concrete is very sleek, and very modern. It is also unique in that it mixies practicality with elegance - which when done correctly, can be so wonderful.
We were SO excited to get an email from Chris of www.dccustomconcrete.com
Information from their website (make sure you visit it for the beautiful photo gallery):

Jen went to high school with Chris & Daryn in Maryland (they had many art classes together), and she is SO proud of what they are doing with concrete out in the San Deigo area -
We hope this inspires ideas for what you want to do with your own home - after seeing what they offer, Jen is officially buying a house in San Diego so Chris & Daryn can make some beautiful concrete sinks and countertops! You should consider the move as well! :) Send their website to any friends/family you have in Southern California -
