They have one of the best natural products in the area. They have products that are geared towards people with chemical sensitivity.

The slab of countertop material I purchased was a discontinued color combination. I was able to get it only because the slab had cracked in half during transport, so Originate had it in their stock. Luckily, I have a small kitchen, so they were able to figure out how to piece and fabricate the broken slab so that it would fit in my kitchen. I also ordered custom-made glass tiles for the backsplash. I chose a color and finish from the samples in the showroom. When they arrived, the tiles were not like the sample. The staff at Originate noticed this immediately and alerted me. It turned out that the sample I had chosen had been made by mistake. However, the staff at Originate worked with the vendor and got tiles for me that matched the sample (they had to send the tiles back to be refired, which resulted in the finish I wanted).
Originate has lovely materials and they are knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this business.

Originate has a lovely showroom or many types of natural and green materials--tile, countertops, flooring, building materials and paint and stains. We decided on a Vetrazzo product for the countertops, which is made of recycled glass set in a matrix of Portland cement, and glass subway-style tiles for the backsplash. Natasha from Originate did a wonderful job of working with us and the installer to make sure we could get away with using only be slab of the Vetrazzo. When the tile arrived, it did not conform to the sample, and Natasha worked with the manufacturer to get it right. It was a positive experience from start to finish and we love our new kitchen.
Response from Originate - Natural Building Materials Showroom
"We enjoyed working with the member and her husband in choosing a Vetrazzo recycled glass countertop and Bedrock 100% recycled glass subway tiles for their backsplash in their kitchen. The member actually bought the countertop as a surprise for the member."
