Cool House Tour 2008Eclectic Home Bar, Austin
Both of these houses were on the Cool House Tour of 2008. They were newly constructed homes, designed to fit into their spot in the neighborhood and to optimize energy efficiency. They have a bit of a contemporary edge to them while maintaining a certain warmth and "homey-ness".

12. Sliced corks. Many of us have a drawer or container full of wine corks just waiting for a good use. As a backsplash, they add warmth and texture. They’re great for a bar area in the kitchen.
Backsplashes. Cork is one of the ecofriendliest options for wine stoppers. Rather than having wine corks recycled, consider making an upcycled and durable backsplash when you're done with your favorite reds and whites.
4. Cork. Not just for the wine connoisseur, this eclectic backsplash style works for just about anyone who has the time to find the corks and install them.If you're not a collector, you can buy wine corks from the restaurants and bars that save them.More ways to reuse corks, including a DIY backsplash
What Houzzers are commenting on:
Kork in der Küche: Feuerresistent und pflegeleicht Eine weitere Eigenschaft des Korks ist, dass er nicht brennbar ist und deshalb auch in der Küche sinnvoll zum Einsatz kommen kann. Schmutz kann mit einem feuchten Tuch einfach weggewischt werden – wie praktisch! Kork hat eine niedrige Leitfähigkeit, und leistet daher als Untersetzer für heiße Töpfe gute Dienste. Man kann übrigens auch aus gesammelten Weinkorken selbst einen basteln.
