IKEA Nutid Glass Ceramic Cooktop

Just picked up the brand new Nutid Glass Ceramic Cooktop for $599.00 from IKEA. It's going to look amazing when it's installed in the slate black Paperstone counter top.

Paperstone Counter Tops

These are on order from EcoHome Improvement in Emeryville, who will also install them. So what is Paperstone?

"PaperStone® is a sustainable composite material made from 100% post-
consumer recycled paper, PetroFree™ phenolic resins and natural pigments.

As PaperStone® ages it will assume a pleasing, lustrous, seasoned appearance that is an inherent characteristic of the material. This is a natural progression of a natural product, resulting in a beautifully soft, rich patina. The aging process takes time and, much like fine hardwood, a deep luster will develop in areas of heavier use."

Lovely. And they really do feel organic and quite sexy to the touch.
