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.

Creative Headboards

A tile headboard? Well, of course! Designer Jennifer Freeman of Columbia (The Naked Window) created this headboard for a recent client using leather, coconut tile, and oval crackled glass tiles. We think it looks lovely! :)
