Titled Window Ledge/Sill Plate

The originals (those that came with the house), wood composite all wrapped-up in their fading 70s glitter pergo-laminant glamor, didn't quite cut it for me...

...these glass tiles (0.75 inch squares available by the square foot) applied themselves very well to the dimensions of the underlying structure with mortar and grout.

The colors tie in with the overall room themes (kitchen, living-room, office, bed-room), either as complimentary or analogous hues...

...a fairly inexpensive and simple way to create some dramatically unique balance in any room...

FYI: for those suffering from Chromatophobia (fear of colors)...this could look pretty cool with pearl or silver tiles in a snow white room...
