New tile and a new visitor

Have you seen our latest print ad? It features a beautiful new 5/8" glass from Medici Mosaics...
And just yesterday, we got a sample in! You're looking at Medici Mosaics Reflections in "Lava". We think it's just awesome! We also have some other new items from Medici, A&S Marble and Granite, and Jeffrey Court.
Apparently, word of the new sample(s) got out fast, and we had an eager new client stop by to check it out. We were completely taken with this little guy who hung out for awhile yesterday afternoon on our back store window. :)

lexington hours


Creative Tile will be making a few changes this month due to some recent announcements. We would like to congratulate Sally and Corey who are getting married next Saturday, June 26th and wish them the best of luck in Atlanta. Becca will also be leaving us July 2nd, to take a marketing job downtown, working with alternative fuel vehicles (which if you know Becca is right up her alley). They will be greatly missed here at Creative. In other news we'd like to welcome Mary Hendricks to the team, she is working at the West Columbia location, stop in and meet her.


Starting June 22nd Kim will be moving to the Northeast store and Danielle will be moving to the Lexington store. Lexington's new hours will be Tuesday-Thursday 9-6, Friday 9-5, and Saturday 10-2.

Garden Window

Have you seen what we're working on? We've designed a "Garden Window" at the West Columbia store to showcase some of our glass tile. Danielle and Becca made some mosaics in addition to using whole sheets of glass. It's not quite done, and the floor still has to go in, in front of it, but it's getting there! :)

Creative Tile in Afghanistan

Becca's friend and AWESOME Massage Therapist, Sherry Morrison, who works at Elante Day Spa in Lexington, had a client two weeks ago who was on her way to Afghanistan. The young woman is a Combat Medic. She stopped by for a massage before being deployed the following day. Sherry asked her what sort of items she needs while in Afghanistan, and on the top of the list was chapstick. So, Sherry pulled all of the Creative Tile chapsticks out of the bowl we had set up at Elante for advertising and is sending them to Afghanistan.

We think it's pretty awesome! Thank you Sherry for supporting our Troops, and we're proud that we had a side hand in it. We'll make sure you get some more chapsticks to send over seas!

PeNina Soaps and Goodies

Thank you kindly to Jessica King of PeNina Elements for giving us two bars of her lovely, handmade soaps to finish dressing up one of our shower displays. Lots of customers ask what the niche is for so we put some soap in there to show it off! :)
Jessica uses only natural ingredients in her soaps which she makes at her home in the Midlands. She also does candles, chapsticks, lotions, bath bombs, etc. Our designers are big fans! To contact Jessica about purchasing some of her items, contact her at: Penina5@live.com
Thanks again Jessica! :)

Let's get Creative!

This is what happens when our staff gets inspired (or bored). :) Below is an outdoor table that Danielle Fabris, our newest designer, has laid out for her back patio. She has yet to set or grout it, but we think it looks pretty awesome! The mosaic is made using travertine, glass, and slate. Stop by to welcome Danielle to South Carolina! She recently moved here from Ohio where she worked at The Tile Store outside of Cincinnati. She is currently training in West Columbia but will soon be working at our new Lexington store at 703 N. Lake Dr. (on Hyw's 378/6, across from Lexington Middle School).

The mosaic below is a picture of Ahab, designer Becca Bertok's one-legged Finch who recently passed away. She lived a good six year life, and will be missed! Becca made this mosaic out of 1x1 Bisazza glass and 12" Crema Marfil Marble. Plans are now that it will be installed at the kitchen in the Lexington store.

As you can see, our staff lives up to our name! Creative Tile! Stop by today to let us help you Make your vision a reality!

Holiday Information:

Our Lexington and Northeast stores will be closed tomorrow, Saturday 29 May for the holiday weekend. West Columbia will be closed Monday, 31 May. All stores will reopen at their regular hours on Tuesday, 1 June. We hope you have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day Weekend!

All gave some, Some gave all. Thank you kindly to our family and friends who have served and to all current and former soldiers.
