Kitchen: Recycled Jar Tops

From Sarah:

Here’s a brilliant idea: tops that can be twisted on to old jars, giving them a new lease of life. Particularly useful for outside tables, when you don’t want to use plastic but worry about breaking your favorite pitcher. Set of five tops to fit standard size jars, available from Pedlars for £13.50.

Kitchen: Rubber Flooring

From Janet:

In search of kitchen flooring ideas? Don’t overlook commercial-grade rubber flooring. Not only is it a great way to add color to your kitchen, but rubber flooring is highly durable, non-slip, easy to maintain, and relatively inexpensive. It can also be an eco-friendly choice, as some manufacturers make their flooring from recycled tires. Available in sheets or tiles; see below for sources.

Below: Activa HP Rubber Flooring is available in a wide array of colors, is resistant to grease and oil, and is naturally glossy. Contact PRF USA at (201) 804-5565 for a representative near you. A few of the colors are shown here.

Below: Made from recycled tires, the eco-friendly RB Rubber ArobiTile tiles are available in several colors and are $4.99 per square foot.

Below: If you are in the UK, a great source is Dalsouple Rubber Flooring.
